My last answer ... ( 1 week ago by murci3lag0)
My last answer didn't get to the web: I say that drugs are substances often obtained by refinment of biological products. They are then completed with chemical products to better carry the active ingredient to it's final destination. "Natural" does not mean "safe". And you should take the drugs that a good physician prescribes you! Ofcourse auto-medication and going to a bad doctor will have side effectts. I hope though you'll never have an apendicitis, because no MIND remedy exists for that!
Thanks for your ... ( 1 week ago by HadhramisRock)
Thanks for your heart felt good wishes. I never will have an apendicitis since I don't have a sluggish digestive system since I behave MINDFULLY and treat my body like a temple and don't butcher it; i.e., PREVENTITIVE MEDICINE, something MOST doctors are NOT advocates of therefore in my book NOT "good." And all toxic chemical medications are bad whether "auto medication," or given by a rich, greedy, apathetic, unenlightened, untrained in natural or self-healing remedies "good doctor."
i agree on what is ... ( 1 week ago by heightboosting)
i agree on what is being said on this show, however there are som basic supplements that are good for you, and may not be adequately received through diet alone.. A good and varied diet can`t always cover everything, and deficiencies in some nutrients will occur. So it is wise to consider adding some supplements to a healthy diet as well... As far as medicine is concerned, a lot of it is just a bunch of crap, with a lot of side effects and often making a condition worse..

For you and the people who read. Go to Google and type "science based medicine it's just a theory". There you have a comparison between real scientific facts and your alternative non-scientific hipotesis. Any way if you would still not use real science I don't mind. I agree that you can do whatever you want with your body. Just don't spread wrong unscientific information like Maher does in this video.
I don't need to ... ( 1 week ago by HadhramisRock)
I don't need to read propaganda from rich pharmacuitical companies & the greedy people they bribe to sell their products; I've traveled the world for years studying holistic health and natural healing methods like macrobiotics, Ayurvedic medicine & Qi Gong and have SEEN IT WORK FIRST HAND. Have you? All you have to do is OPEN YOUR EYES to see everyone going bankrupt & sicker and sicker every year (Maher's point!) Since I know FROM DIRECT EXPERIENCE, I want to help people help themselves.

In a time when news is talking point regurgitation, "The Daily Show," "Real Time" and "Colbert Report" always swing the spotlight where it needs to shine.
These COMEDY shows tell the truth about issues of self-righteous repression like Intelligent Design and Praying The Gay Away. And they DON'T make it sound like there are two rational sides when there AREN'T. Keep it up, guys!
For a comic take on society's repression of homosexuality, do a YouTube search for "MAYBE GAY RAY"

Exactly. When I was ... ( 1 week ago by Tastentier)
Exactly. When I was a kid, I believed what my parents were saying: That alternative medicine was natural and healthy while conventional medicine would only create chronical diseases.
Later on, I learned that alternative medicine is 99% superstition, nothing but placebo effects. I started to trust in medical science, in double-blind randomized trials instead. Didn't do me any good either.
By now I know that the truth is somewhere in between: Both is bogus. Both sides only care about money.

He´s got some good points but you cant just go to the other extreme and say just exercise and you will never need a pill. You might.

I understand the point he is coming from but when you try to say a disease like asthma is just drug companies taking you for a spin then maybe Bill Maher needs to have an asthma attack.
Not everything is as black and white as he makes it seem and his ignorance of the subject for his own agenda and a few quick one liners is obvious.

It was his long list of "mainstreamed" a ailments. Along with autism and such. As for the inhailer yes it does treat it. Does it cure it no. There is no known cure though many have said it can because by environmental as well as genetic factors. In other words like autism isn't something that will probably never have a cure unless you believe in eugenics. Also he fails to take into effect as a growing population of humans there are going to be more people effected.

Stop eat shit like fast food as a pig, stop take drugs as alcohool, weed and tobacco, stop live in a sofa. This would improve health of USA a lot.

No i haven't seen it work first hand, I've seen it fail miserably in the lab over and over and over again in unbiased double-blind studies that prove over and over again how wrong your pseudoscientific medievil theories raelly are. But I'm sure those are just a big conspiracy too. I got $49 to write this, BIG PHARMA HERE I COME!!

If you know what critical thinking is & know how to play "connect-the-dots," try this one STRESS KILLS, CAUSES TENSION HEADACHES & EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN. And as I said, I have seen natural healing work (FIRST HAND, DIRECT EXPERIENCE!) for just that reason especially in a part of the world I travel to a lot called ASIA. Been there or do you only know life from books? It's a place where the people who make the effort are THIN, mentally and physically HEALTHY & are NOT dependant on toxic drugs.

You have to know what the hell you are doing, IDIOT!!! I've studied Ayurvedic medicine and holistic health for years. Did you bother to read how many thousands of people, including innocent CHILDREN now have permenent RUPTURED TENDONS from the popular antibiotic CIPRO??? Why not? Don't know what you meant by your excited "Big pharma here I come!!," but why don't you club baby seals or sell children into slavery, the karmic results for hurting innocent, ignorant living beings are the same.
