when one considers the deaths and complications individuals have suffered at the hands of poorly regulated pharmaceuticals with known but not reported side effects and contraindications it is more likely first, harm is done. just look at the courts and try reading the inserts with medications these days - and the requirements for constant monitoring with frequent blood panels.

i do agree - medicine is medicine is medicine - but base my respect and honoring of medicine on healing - not only white man's narrowly and inept definition of science. science is in it's infancy. so much is unknown - there should be some respect for this fact.
