Some very interesting Fun Facts regarding pharmaceuticals: over 100,000 people in the US die every year due to pharmaceuticals WHEN they have been "properly prescribed," there were no manufacturing defects, and the directions were followed in using them. More than 700,000 people die every year from all causes (including when they did not follow the prescription or the doc made a mistake in prescribing) due to conventional medications.

How many people have died following the advice of a naturopath?

@organic.brian - How many people have died following the advice of a naturopath? Pretty much EVERYONE in the human race up until penicillin was discovered in the 1870s.

Screw both of you. I subscribe to Gemstone Therapy. Any ailments I suffer are instantly cured by sticking some quartz up my ass.

I'm a snakehandler, but I stick quartz up my ass just to be safe.

Well, organic.brian, when you get cancer for no explicable reason, you just stick with your naturopath. Or, when you get the clap, just put a balm on it.

Thanks, SPK, now I've got Beyonce's "Single Ladies (Put A Balm On It)" in my head.
