Next time you see a commercial for a med whose "side effects include suicide"; a drug thats been approved by the FDA for your consumption, ask yourself if an enema and a radical change in your diet and lifestyle would make you live longer. Close to a million Americans die every year from prescription medicine but you'd never hear about it because it gets buried by clueless mainstream media types like yourself, Ryan Tate. Why don't you do some research instead of throwing up popular published opinion?

You mean, "popular published opinion" that's based on observable evidence? You know - science? Maybe you should do a little research before making wildly insane statistical arguments. To let you off the google hook, here are some AMA-drawn numbers for deaths in America:

And as for medicine, well most general-level prescriptions are just extracts of natural plants, refined and concentrated. The reason we know they work is because they've been verified by countless trials and observations.

Happy reading; this was peered reviewed and tested via SCIENCE.. Oooh big scary word.

It's pretty shameful how the alt-medders have so little recourse that they have to cling on to garbage written by fake PhDs. Almost pitiful. Almost.
I expect the next response will be that I have autism from all my vaccinations.

A conditioned mind will remain a conditioned mind because it does what it is told so I won't fault you for your hypnotism: You've been medicated all your life. You can also quote all the quack watch you want, you cannot deny the evidence cited in this and other studies; the data speaks for itself. The human body as a construct of nature also speaks and corresponds to the facts. Just follow the footnotes at the end of the study. But you, most likely, enjoy microwavable facts, something easily consumed and digested like you were told all your life. You wanna know a quack? Ask your doctor how much he or she makes every time they write you a prescription. Ask the AMA how many of their contributors are on the payroll of a pharmaceutical. You wanna know who the real quacks are? The doctors who are committed to making you sick with arrogance in place of science. The real quacks are we Americans who are so lazy about learning how our bodies work, we trust our lives to strangers. And then when our loved one die we say they were killed by cancer, not the horrible food we ate all our lives, not the chemotherapy that was prescribed, not the pills that lacerated our livers.
Many of the world's leading scientists and medical journalists agree with the data collected in the evidence I presented and that is just ONE paper out of hundreds written by respected medical journalists and scientists around the world. America is not the end all of medicine, there are other countries besides ours. Perhaps you've heard of England and Australia? Furthermore, It's arrogance like yours that makes America the laughing stock in most medical communities around the world. Since the the dusk of the last cultural revolution in this country American citizens have been medicated beyond belief; we're so medicated we can't see the magician's hand.

Death by Medicine? A book by the famous AIDS denialist Gary Null?
Wow. You are a complete and utter fucking retard. Seriously. There is no other word to describe you.
You are also a fucking cunt who would happily see people die to further your whacked agenda. Fortunately science and medicine is done by people who are not retarded cunts like you. Because of this we have the amazing medicines that are keeping my brother who was infected with HIV in the mid 1980s still alive today.
Eat shit and die you ignorant twat.

The fact of the matter is you have specialists in a variety of fields routinely debunking "medical" treatments which have no scientific data to back them up.
Acupuncture, chiropracty, probiotics, colon cleansing, healing touch, feng shui, the anti-vaccinationists, "immune system boosters," homeopathy, and so on and so on.
Beyond that you fundamentally misunderstand the point of the article. It's not a pro-pharma hit piece on HuffPo, it takes no position on the quality of prescription drugs, it simply points out that there are a bunch of nutters writing about medical issues, that are not credible and, in the case of the article that was torn apart sentence by sentence by Mark Crislip, are saying things that could be dangerous to people who believe the articles are written by someone who actually might know something about anything.

OMG: My eyes are opening up! OMG you guys! You're so right: I AM an ingorant twat. I AM a fucking cunt, I DO have a whacked out agenda which includes my happiness at seeing people die. & you know what? Science and medicine ARE made by retarded cunts like me who just hate human beings. Alternative medical practitioners just hate Americans who want to give all their money to big pharma. Just hate em, hate em, like them foreners who come here and take our jobs. 4000 years of Chinese medicines is just a dash of salt against 200 years of Western medicine. The American point of view is always right. We're so clever. Our colons ARE garbage dumps and it has nothing to do some silly toxins and pathogens crippling our bodies. We should just leave that silly colon thing alone and pack it with meat and processed foods. . Voyou Charmant: your brother was not inhaling poppers like they were going out of style in the 70's and 80's. He did not have a terrible sex and drug filled lifestyle with a billion sex partners. Being his brother, you know everything he did, all the coke he snorted, all the trips he made to the clinic treat stds, you know just rosy and pink his liver looked. He's just a victim of some three letter virus a guy in a press conference in a retaurant told us about. How did you find out I only care about infliciting pain and suffering through my further reading and understanding of the human body? Did you GOOGLE me? Shucks! My cover is blown! I am gonna go kick some rocks now because I cannot draw conclusions and expriment and analize information broadcasted at me. YOU GUYS!!!! You're so right: I am so totally unqualified at reading beyond what conventional media and A BLOGGER, tells me about science and medicine. I just rush out and spread misinformation just for the fun of it.. JUST LIKE GARY NULL and the NOBEL PRIZE WINNING SCIENTISTS and doctors ACROSS THE WORLD. OMG! You guys are so clever. You must have an awesome passport from the pharmocracy you're living in. Send me pictures I hear America is lovely this time of year. I am gonna go now and eat this plate of shit and just die now, just like you said. OK,Bye!
