Cthulhu,
I agree fully that it’s not natural to pop pills for the rest of your life, and that it’s always preferable to get off the drugs if you can eliminate the need for them.
But, again, you’re not seeing the logical fallacy here. Just because the medical establishment relies too much on prescription drugs does not mean that anything Trudeau says about “natural cures” or government conspiracies is true.
And, in many cases, the distinction between “natural” remedies and drugs is quite arbitrary. There’s really no reason why taking an herb should automatically be seen as healthier than taking a drug, especially when so many drugs are derived from naturally occurring compounds anyway. I will also remind you that NATURAL is not equivalent to HEALTHY. Some of the most toxic substances known to man are natural.
Medical science has not “failed” just because cancer rates are increasing. That’s nonsense. It just goes to show that whether people get cancer is beyond the control of the medical establishment. Medical science can’t keep people from eating McDonald’s food and living an unhealthy lifestyle.
Trudeau is just as irresponsible as any drug-pushing physician. If you believe that anyone can get off of any drug just by switching to organics and taking some stupid herb, well, then you’ve bought into the rethoric quite blindly. There is such a thing as a permanent disease state, and that’s a biological reality. How about a type I diabetic with DEAD β-cells? Should you ever become afflicted with this disease, you had better thank your lucky stars for the pharmaceutical companies, becauase you WILL be dependant on prescription drugs for the rest of your life, and you WILL die if you don’t take them. Trudeau undermines this simple reality. Should someone who truly needs drugs take his advice, the results could be quite catastrophic- and there have been reports of such occurances.
Aside from the generic advice of switching to organics, etc., most of Trudeau’s “natural cures” are bullshit anyway. And when I say bullshit, I mean that they are scientifically unsubstantiated. While this doesn’t see to bother most people, ask yourself this: if a medical treament hasn’t been scientifically proven, then how can anyone know whether it’s safe and effective? The answer is that you can’t. And while you may not like mainstream medicine’s treatments, just remember that they have nothing to do with what Trudeau reccommends. Just because one things sucks doesn’t make something else any better.
As for your comment that “at least Trudeau isn’t killing 300 people a day”… maybe not, but he’s scamming a much greater number.
