Also, please feel free to re-evaluate that description of "most". "MOST" Americans do not go out of their way to seek out quacks.
I almost got to experience that fire in the box for 2 episodes of Anaphylactic reaction to drugs. Listening them opening Trach set, when you know what's coming. Big Pharmacy isn't high on my list. Plus Considering DES babies from the 50s are either dead or still dealing with cancers. I know many physicians no longer have Big Pharm in their pockets today as 10 years ago. They are far more concerned about just writing scripts.
I Do you find it interesting That you consider acupuncture Not holistic And yet Almost every herb, flower, bark used for decades By physians has helped big pharm create modern drugs today.
