Yes, I am saying that pharmaceutical labs are creating drugs purely for money.
I know they are often very helpful, if they were not nobody would buy them.
I'm not saying that this is a bad thing to want to make money.
But the main goal is selling.
And by all means.
I'm not saying it is better to go see a naturopath or a guru or to make some weird things like dancing around a fire while singing in turkish to improve someone's health lol.
3) Pharmaceutical companies and the FDA are not being intellectually honest. The pharmaceutical companies are given wide latitude concerning which clinical trials they want to publish and which data they want to include in the publications. This is important because many of the clinical trials yield negative findings (i.e., no differences between drug and the dummy pills). If a drug company does 10 studies and only 2 support the efficacy of the drug, they can elect to publish only the two. There is no law against cherry picking the data. The FDA does not compel disclosure of all of the unsuccessful trials. This leads to inflated perceptions about the drugs' efficacy from both doctors and the wider public.
And this is just for the antidepressant class of drugs.
But again, I know that there are drugs that are really working.
But you cannot say something against homeopathy like it is not working because it is a placebo, and not see that this is the case for a lot of drugs, and in fact they are causing a lot of harmful effects on ppl's health.
I do agree that there are no studies to prove homeopathy is working. But there are many studies proving that a lot of TOP class sold drugs are not working better than placebo either.
Maybe the placebo will be the next most powerful pill? If so, I hope my GP won't tell me it is because it won't work. :P
I tried Finacea, Metrogel and a lot of medical products without good results. The solution was
Prosacea... and yes, it's homeopathic. So, you cannot dismiss and option just for preconception.
You're not seriously saying that pharmaceutical companies create drugs purely for money, are you? Excuse me, but prescription drugs do help people and there is evidence to back it up, even with antidepressants. Know how prescription drugs even get on the market in the first place? By showing that they work better than placebo. Know why every drug known to man has side effects? Because there are actual active ingredients in there that can react adversely in some people. Let's take Mirapex, a drug commonly used for Parkinson's disease, for example. Mirapex is a dopamine agonist, which means it acts like dopamine. A very common side effect is nausea and the reason for that is the extra surge of artificial dopamine causes the brain to think that you're nauseous.
Homeopathic "drugs" on the other hand have no active ingredients at all which makes it impossible for them to affect you in any way besides placebo. Placebo, by the way, does not keep cancer patients (or any other person with a disease that can kill without proper drugs) alive. Naturopaths have even been sued and jailed countless of times for the death of their vict - er, patients - due to being given useless homeopathic remedies instead of referring them to real doctors that could save their life. Count yourself lucky that rosacea isn't fatal.
Miss D I don't mean to be rude but are you on here to help people or to argue??? So far all I see is you throwing a negative twist to any ideas people may have. Don't you think it would be much easier to pop a pill from the dermatologist(which is covered by insurance)? I'm guessing they tried these remedies and thought going the long route (natural) might work better with a little patience. I know in my case drugs didn't do a thing. The only thing that helped me is when I educated myself and did the natural route. Now mind you it took about 2 years to see significant results but this isn't overnight. It takes a lot of work to go natural but don't you think if the pills worked they/we would do that instead? Think about it. Now as far as cancer and such, I think people need to attack that head on and help keep their bodies strong with natural remedies after the cancer is killed. I do believe we need medication in certain situations.
I would appreciate it if you stay positive and unless you have something good to say, don't say it at all and respect their ideas. This site is to help people not break them down.

I'm here to help people. Sometimes I wonder why I bothered to come back after nearly a year of absence because half of these forums are for homeopathy - something I loathe because it has proven time and again through double blind studies with controls that it's worthless. I can understand why you'd get the impression how all I do is argue because of that.
