So we get a busload of "scientists" who want articles on herbs to not mention anything about their homeopathic use, and we get homeopathy practicioners who want that included in those articles. The scientists want to censor in the name of science and truth.
We still have this entire idea of "true" that is so deeply embedded that we cannot shake it. That's the ultimate underlying problem in my opinion.
Have you ever tried taking a pill of arsenic every day? I have heard that a daily dose of arsenic can help promote a strong immune system. I don't have any peer reviewed research from those major medical journals on my side(Big Pharma owns all of those), but I did hear it on this one site where the guy told me this was something the phramaceutical companies didn't want me to know because it would bankrupt them.
Arsenic (pronounced /ˈɑrsənɪk/) is a chemical element that has the symbol As and atomic number 33. Arsenic was first written about by Albertus Magnus (Germany) in 1250.
[...]
Arsenic is all natural and has been used in medicine for over 2500 years. People who take arsenic daily are among the lowest risk levels for cancer caused mortality. Studies of many powerful famous people through history such as Napoleon Bonaparte have shown that they consumed large amounts of arsenic.
(All the above data is presumably verifiable... )
Well it is certainly also misleading. Albertus Magnus was the first to extract *pure* arsenic. People such as Rhazes had discussed it explicitly before that. In fact arsenic was one of the four classic alchemical "spirits", others being ammonium chloride, sulphur, and mercury.
