Others have pointed out that such articles involve spurious extrapolations from usually twenty and
thirty year old figures which involve their own selectivity of data and other extrapolations.
Lazarou's figures have been torn apart many times. (This is not to deny that adverse events and
medical error are not real problems and that many of them are avoidable. )

What I would like to ask is why an article supposed to be supporting nutritional supplements against
a perceived attack can find nothing positive to say about their medical usefulness? It is akin to
the tactics of the "alternative" cancer industry which publishes volumes about the perceived
failings of conventional cancer treatment (aided by the openness with which that is conducted) and
nothing but "come hither" hints and teasers about its own true results.

The cleanse if off for a few days - until I drink enough apple juice, just so I don't get no flack
from people who said I didn't do this or that etc. Anth

Why is Gary Null not credible? I seem to recall that he travels a lot and keeps
records about which treatments seem to work or not? He is even responsible for
debunking a lot of treatments which show no effect. Anth

Where does mainstream say anything positive about
alternative treatments? In fact, at the moment the pharma
companies are in the process of a disinformation war
against supplements. Sooner or later the truth is going to
come out. Anth

That's strange, considering that the pharma companies
manufacture most of the "supplelments".

It's out.

That is untrue - there's herbs and other supplements. Anth

..and also stranger how they conspired to increase prices
when they discovered via Dr Rath that ascorbate has serious
implications for treating heart disease - all that research
money and useless drugs gone to waste. Your argument is
flawed, and you are also stupid considering the facts that
these guys are not batting for your side. When (and if) you
come down with heart disease you will have their 'drugs' -
good luck with them - I will have my ascorbate. Anth

Anth is starting to remind me of that "Lazarus" character
in one of the early Star Trek episodes, who was rational
part of the time and irrational part of the time. (Turned
out it was two different people, which I suppose could be
the case here.)

Name two. I've seen Null pushing all kinds of worthless
"alternative" therapies, but I don't recall ever seeing him
debunk one.

In your vast, what, few months of experience here? I'm so
impressed. I was here long before you arrived and I'll be
here long after you're gone, top-poster.
