Dunno context for this, but I always reserve my ire for the gobshites peddling the alternative medecines to desperate parents.

There was a case here lately where there was a huge fundraiser to get a kid over to the US for a last chance experimental treatment. Some investigation revealed that the experimental clinic was a snake-oil scam. Who wants to be the one to have to break that to parents clutching at anything that even looks like it might be a straw?

The people behind that kind of thing are despicable.

Alternative medicine in general just pisses me off because 99.9% is utter bullshit and yet people buy into it anyway and then stuff like this happens.

Newsflash: if there really were some magical holistic way to cure cancer, people wouldn't still be dying of cancer.

Ugh, so much this.

[nyvz]

Your icon is very appropriate for this thread.

[starphotographs]

...Shit, it is!

(Victor is judging you, quacks.)

[blunderbuss]

Nuh uh! Big pharma don't want to cure cancer because they get rich off cancer treatments! Only brave souls defy their sinister control and try to find the real -- oh god I can't even finish.

[kamino_neko]

What always gets me is the always - ALWAYS - say something like 'follow the money!'

'You mean the steady flow of money going from sucker's pockets to yours?'

[(Anonymous)]

It's often the suckers who are saying it.

[comma_chameleon]

And considering how many cancer treatments are funded by the drug companies themselves via 'compassionate use' programs, this logic doesn't even begin to make sense. (In Canada at least anyway.)

[(Anonymous)]

Acupressure and acupuncuture actually works, though.

[(Anonymous)]

yeah, but they don't cure cancer.

[starphotographs]

I don't remember exactly where (it's probably highly Googleable), but I read a while ago that acupuncture can work for certain kinds of pain by creating a small endorphin rush.

...Buuuuuuuut it doesn't matter where they poke you. Because that part is hooey. And it's a moot point because taking a pill is better than getting poked.

[(Anonymous)]

Herbal remedies can work, but then distillation of the chemicals involved takes place in Western medicine too.

Fetishising Chinese medicine is a form of subtle racism.
