There's no reason humans should depend on synthetic chemicals to be healthy.
I would rather trust in the strength of my own immune system than their flimsy vaccines.
Tip: If you find yourself engaging a poster whose defense mainstream medicine is unusually dramatic in tone, or inexplicably vicious toward others, and if that response is an attempt to attack natural medicine, you can be sure you have stumbled upon a PR grunt whose mission is preventing a critical mass of consumer awareness about disinformation regarding matters of public health.
Unfortunately, there are more of these individuals posting to Usenet on a daily basis than almost anyone else, which is why I am posting this alert. If you find it odd that so few people on health-related usenet newsgroups are expressing an interest in natural medicine, it isn't because they aren't there, it's because they have been intimidated into silence. The pharmbloggers have over-run the various newsgroups with their industrial brand of dogma, mockery, and ridicule. Many casual posters are simply frightened away, which is, of course, the object of the game.
1. PR grunts on Usenet use intimidation, mockery, and insults to
silence those who express belief or interest in natural medicine. They
actively discourage a scientific discussion and disrupt ongoing
discussions that explore alternative treatments in healthcare.
2. PR grunts on Usenet attack those who question the effectiveness of
mainstream medicine, asserting that disease-management "healthcare" is
the only viable form of treatment. Their comments are frequently
embedded in pseudo-scientific jargon, but without supporting
scientific documentation, for reasons footnoted below.
3. PR grunts on Usenet post the majority of their responses simply to
bury the comments of others, especially when those comments are a
negative portrayal of the drug makers and their products. Another
feature of this tactic is the use of a VERTICAL focus in the
newsgroups, meaning that activity is purposedly expanded in a
particular thread in order to reduce the overall distribution of new
("horizontal") content in newer threads. Use of flaming and personal
attacks is designed to both distract from meaningful discussion and
also to discourage visitors and posters so they will leave.
4. PR grunts on Usenet are much faster at posting than casual
participants; they almost always respond first to a new thread,
question, or observation.
5. PR grunts on Usenet use a "pile on" tactic to create an aura of
the "consensus view" in an effort to isolate posters who disagree
with them. You will experience this if you express a belief in
natural medicine or holistic healing. You will also see this tactic
used more often than any other.
6. PR grunts on Usenet refute numerous quality studies published in
major medical journals showing the benefits of natural medicine
applied in naturopathic healthcare, including nutrient
supplementation, exercise, stress reduction, biofeedback,
accupuncture, accupressure, reflexology, and other approaches. You
can find the science supporting a variety of natural healing methods
at the user-friendly website, www.newstarget.com....
7. PR grunts on Usenet frequently refer readers to "quack-busting"
websites designed to attack natural medicine approaches and their
proponents. Under the guise of "consumer protection," the extreme
bias of these promoters belies their claims and reveals their ties to
industry.
8. PR grunts on Usenet rely on junk science references to support
their attacks on natural healing methods. They decline to provide
meaningful scientific references in support of their defense of most
conventional treatments. Since most conventional medicines are either
marginally effective, unproven, or dangerous, it is not suprising that
purely anecdotal or observational studies (usually sponsored by the
drug makers) are the only "science" available to them.
9. PR grunts on Usenet assert that conventional medicine is "evidence
based," however the lack of corroborating science disproves that
claim. Chemotherapy drugs, for instance, are unproven in the majority
of cancers, yet FDA permits these drugs to remain in use as
"experimental trial" medications, as has been the case for more than
thirty years. For most cancer patients, there is no proven benefit in
the use of these expensive and toxic chemicals.
10. PR grunts on Usenet ignore iatrogenic studies that show the
dangerous side effects of prescription drugs (ie., at least 100,000
deaths annually), as well as a 20% recall for all previously approved
drugs. They also ignore hundreds of studies showing a disease
relationship to use of such drugs and other unsafe medical
treatments.
