30. I don't buy into the big pharma/medical mafia hysteria.
Yes, it is a for profit industry and there are doctors and other professionals who are unethical.

But alternative medicine is ALSO a for profit industry, and it's basically unregulated.

Quacks make billions of dollars from unsuspecting patients every year.

Until and unless they can provide scientific evidence that their "treatments" work, it's all snake oil.
