I can't believe anyone with a brain would endorse a system that enriches the drug companies by having doctors prescribe drugs for any and all ailments. To say something is snake oil simply because it is natural instead of a synthetic drug is just plain ignorant. Natural remedies are rarely tested because there is no profit in it. Cancer treatment in this country is nothing more than a scam and kills as many as it saves. Modern medicine does not want to cure any disease as it is more profitable to treat than to cure. If a cure for cancer came out tomorrow our entire economy would crash. Seeker30

I believe there was a cure for the autoimmune, diabetes causing chemical I've studied, but the medical profession and drug companies make so much money on the ill... that it didn't get brought out.

If I had a cure for the cancers out there ... I'd shout it from the housetops.

Not to say that there aren't millions of outstanding doctors who put their patients first and foremost ... but then there are others who just want to earn money, and they get the same pay whether the patient lives or dies.

Stop the exposure to 2-butoxyethanol and half our medical folks wouldn't have much to do ... and the drug companies would go out of business. That's what I think.

I lost my dear friend a couple of days ago ... I suspect she died from the effects of being a good housekeeper and cleaning through the years with products such as Lysol Tub 'n Tile. What a loss to society, to her family, to me. I will miss Helen forever and always and the world is diminished with her death at 66.

In her case I suspect she died of the advanced autoimmune hemolytic anemia *... rapid heart beat from lack of oxygen. She was getting weekly Procrit shots as she didn't have enough red blood cells. I kept sharing information with her, but it was obvious that the doctors she saw were stumped by her ailments (high blood sugar, high blood pressure, joints hurting, blood clot in leg) and that the most of them were quite disinterested ... "Oh, go to the ER. We don't have time to work you into our schedule"

Oh, well, just the civilian version of 'gulf war syndrome' and the USA hasn't figured that out yet. They do say, however, except for Lou Gehrig's Disease the gulf war vets are no more harmed than the general population.

butyl ether in gasoline?

Remember in the 70's they were adding MTBE to gasoline and then State by State they were banning it. Alaska's Governor did all on his own I heard due to the health effects that were noticed in Fairbanks.

We are a chemically poisoned people ... and that is causing much cancer and birth defects.

I hear China has more and more cars being made there without the environmental requirements of our cars. The 'acid rain' is ruining their own agricultural lands and in neighboring countries, too, such as Japan.

When China wants the oil for their cars ... they will be able to pay the highest price for it ... since the trade balance is way off in their favor ... so where does that leave us?
