Rolaids- reduces acid in the stomach and it can also be consumed as a calcium supplement.
An elderly woman went into the doctor's office. When the doctor asked why she was there, she replied, "I'd like to have some birth control pills."
Taken aback, the doctor thought for a minute and then said, "Excuse me, Mrs. Smith, but you're 75 years old. What possible use could you have for birth control pills?"
The woman responded, "They help me sleep better."
The doctor thought some more and continued, "How in the world do birth control pills help you to sleep?"
The woman said, "I put them in my granddaughter's orange juice and I sleep better at night."

Just a tip with the vinegar...don't drink that...it's a fancy store version of acetic acid, and when it goes past your vocal cords it does what acid does best...eats them up....I've seen it and it's a bad end result. Otherwise do what you will...if it works I'm glad!
And really, nothing is free in medicine/"natural" supplement use. It's a cost/benefit analysis at all points, and that is where clinical judgement still is a big part of treatment. Sometimes the textbook answer is wrong and you have to accept that to be worth the time of day as a practitioner.
Your body, your choice. So long as it doesn't endanger others...

Imagine if everybody were exactly the same, not differences in genetic make-up, the same tolerances to medicines, the same reactions to drug combinations, the same age, the same ability to absorb drugs into your system...........
YOu would have a much greater chance of success with the performance of a prescribed drug.
There is no way to create the perfect drug, that works 100% of the time for 100% of the population. Yep, mistakes are made, yep testing sometimes falls short, but is is a balance.
You could test for decades and keep tweaking formulation dosage and frequency and still not get it right for EVERYONE. There are risks for every drug. There is a risk for aspirin.
Most people faced with life threatening cancer, go with documented numbers. They seek out the best available treatments that have documented results of lack there-of.
Steve Jobs would be alive today (Most experts agree) if he would have not have done the home remedy crap and listened to the experts from the very beginning. He only went to traditional mothods when his cancer was too far along.
I go back to an earlier post I made and ask again:
What if you were told that you had a 95% chance of beating the cancer that is in your body now, and a 90% chance that it would never come back again by doing chemo/radiation -vs- 50% chance of beating the cancer in your body now, and a 50% chance of it never coming back, by using some special green remedy?
You slam big pharma, but would you rather buy a lottery ticket which had a 95% chance of winning (Meaning you live), or a lottery ticket that has a 50% chance of winning (Meaning you might live)?
Imagine having to make that choice given the fact you have a young family?
Come on, man up and admit that you would go with something that will save your life...........
Now having said all of this, if there were well documented therapies and treatments that were home spun or plant based, that actually worked like they say they work, (I am talking about 1,000's of documented success stories where the doctor said "you have equal chance of living with this home remedy"), then I might buy off on the idea. Until then, I place my bets on modern medicine, not some website claiming this or that.........
my point was that Polaris Dude could not list "ONE FLAWLESS DRUG" when he said he could list thousands...
I never indicated that my alternatives were "flawless" and the fact that the natural alternatives I listed do have issues as well just re-enforces the impossibility of Polaris Dudes statement ever being true ..
Of course I agree with all you guys in your assessments..

I like the link. You notice what's being done with the "natural remedy"? It's being researched, the same thing that happens with any other drug. If it is proven effective, believe me, it will be marketed by someone, and it will get used.
Arguing otherwise is arguing that the free market would not try to sell something that people want to buy.
A man goes into a drugstore and asks the pharmacist if he can give him something for the hiccups. The pharmacist promptly reaches out and slaps the man's face.
"What did you do that for?" the man asks.
"Well, you don't have the hiccups anymore, do you?"
The man says, "No, but my wife out in the car still does!"

Ik, I was posting some really good jokes, but I thought some of you might find this interesting

I know I'm digging this thread up, but I saw this and looked it up and it seems pretty legit so far.

Although the media is definitely hyping this up by throwing around the acronym HIV because a virus in the same family as the HIV virus is being used to move the genes into the T cells it is not infact the HIV virus.
So how do you "big pharma is out to kill us" people feel now?
Granted it does not work for everyone and many of the patients do suffer a near fatal cytokine storm which is an immune response to said injected cells, but these patients are the ones who have no other options so its either take the leap of faith or finish dying slowly.

All kinds of parties want to keep people off of them drugs. In fact, a number of pharmaceutical companies are trying to keep people off drugs but namely generic ones, as a number of “Big Pharma” companies are using drug coupons to keep people buying brand-name after patents lapsed.
The federal government has no constitutional or moral authority to regulate any natural product and I would doubt they have authority on drugs. In Italy it was called fascism and Germany it was called Nazism. The FDA s nothing more than an arm of big pharma trying to eliminate real cures to increase the profit of pharmaceutical companies et the expense of the American people. They're in bed with big pharma and most of the drugs they approve are poison junk that can't hold up to success of natural therapies. Swampy
Lol, yup. No one needs them until they need them.
The only ones who need them are the doctors who get large sums of money for pushing their crap. Do you know oncologists get over 50% of their incomes from the chemo drugs they push.
Health” insurance companies (i.e. they should be called “prescription drug” insurance companies) will gladly pay $350,000 for a cancer patient to use worthless orthodox treatments, but insurance companies will not pay $7,000 to $30,000 for an alternative cancer treatment which is 30 times more effective. Follow the money! Swampy
But wait another instance of facisim.
When our forefathers rang the Liberty Bell 237 years ago, I guarantee you this is not what they had in mind.
In fact, Philadelphia is becoming more the City of Oppression than the City of Brotherly Love. And the ringleader is a big player in the high-profit pharmaceutical world dressed in sheep's clothing.

Call him PrOffit
----------------------------------------------------
I first told you about Paul Offit a few months ago. He's the genius who said he "can't believe" people would ever take a megavitamin. Well now he's taken his attack on alternative medicine a step further.
The tragic part is he's putting children at risk -- in the name of the almighty buck.
Offit is chief of infectious disease at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Recently, he announced that CHOP (as it's known), will no longer include dietary supplements on its list of allowed products for patients.
But here's what's really frightening...
When kids come to the hospital, parents will now be asked if their children are taking dietary supplements. If they are, staff members have been instructed to STRONGLY discourage supplement use. They'll even offer a pamphlet to create doubts about supplements to further their vitamin witch-hunt.
And Offit announced it all in a video with a straight face (surrounded by dozens of books that say "Vaccines" on their spines, by the way) and pointing his finger like we'd better listen up -- or else.
Seems shocking at first. Until you discover where Offit's real paycheck comes from.
He occupies a $1.5 million dollar research chair at the hospital, funded by Merck -- one of the true giants of Big Pharma.
But that's not Offit's only Merck connection. He also holds a patent on a childhood vaccine produced by Merck called RotaTeq. Now, he won't say out loud how much he's earned off this connection, but it's said to be as much as $55 million!
Heard enough? Well, as they say in those late night sales pitches... "But wait -- there's more!"
One of Offit's other titles at CHOP is Chair of the "Therapeutic Standards Committee." That may sound innocent enough until you hear about the hospital's new partner in "therapeutic innovation." It's no less than Pfizer.
Merck? Pfizer? Offit is obviously on Big Pharma's Christmas card list. No wonder he's leading the mission to put an end to supplement use.
So what's next? Maybe Dr. Offit will decide that milk can't be served in the hospital cafeteria since it's fortified with vitamin D.
Or maybe an all-out war on orange juice since it contains, you know... vitamin C?
