Whatever....Nazi tactics? Like blitzkrieg you mean? Or Kristallnacht? Or mass murder? Or invading other countries to take them over? THOSE are "Nazi tactics"....

A bit of a drama queen huh... Garlic is good for you. It's a proven fact. Juice (vitamin C) is also good for you. Claiming them to be miracle drugs is wrong, I agree. Nobody is claiming that walnuts cure cancer so your argument dosn't fly...If people want their holistic remedies to be treated with respect, all they need to do is show us the science that proves their case. Such as testing data, etc.
My Aunt Barbara fell prey to these "natural medicine" con men when she came down with cancer. A doctor who ended up losing his medical license convinced her that juice and garlic were "medicine" that would cure her cancer. So she avoided getting treatment from REAL doctors until just recently, which made everything much worse than it already was, and shortened her life by many years. She is just barely hanging on after they operated to remove the cancer that had spread through her body while she was "treating" herself with juice and garlic.

Dude my comment was because you made an off the wall comparison to the walnut claims that they are healthy to some moonbat claims that garlic cures cancer. It's an unfair comparison that's all and you are the one who threw the first stone with your silly "blitzkreig" comment. I used the term "Nazi" loosely in reference to oppressive, over the top, government control.... "My bad self" yet you're the one who chose to attack my comments first and now you play the victim.. OK.. My prayers for your aunt and I meant no disrespect. I am honestly glad to hear that she is now getting the proper treatment. It's a horrible disease for sure. We now return you to your regularly scheduled program... Look at the bright side.. it appears that "old bookaroo" is your new cheerleader... It's nice to have a fan club.You would do well not pretend that talking about my Aunt's very serious medical condition is being "dramatic". But you go on with your bad self, I'm sure you are very impressed with everything you post.

Sure, ignore the science. You are the same lib who whined that the drug companies made too much money, aren't you?
Science has proven that many holistic treatments are as good or better than the medications ... they just don't create as many side effects ("may cause kidney failure, blood clots in the legs, heart attack, lymphomas" - Humera).
Sorry for your loss, but there are charlatans all over the place. Just look at the white house.

Of course, you're the guy who wanted to ban a book you hadn't read.
Good luck to all,

Just a note here Chad, if science has proven them to be as effective or more effective they'd be approved by the FDA.
This is no approval because there is no science.
Why do you think big pharma spends so much to get drugs approved? Think they'd spend less if they could?
Please allow me to correct your clearly biased post. I'll even use your overly dramatic "attack" word for maximum effect... I didn't "attack" anyone. I was attacked for my choice of the "Nazi" cliche and I responded to the "attack". Throw a sucker punch at me and I will respond with a baseball bat. Play nice and I will play nice. It really is that simple.. And what's "low" is using the medical condition of a sick relative to try to gain an upper hand in an argument that has NOTHING to do with that relative or their condition. I didn't drag his aunt into it HE did. Lastly could you please point out to me where the walnut growers made claims that their product cured any kind of disease or were you just trying to be dramatic with your comparison just like everyone else in your little "club" ? Believe me, I do see what's going on here. There appears to be a small group of you who stick together and trash every thread that makes any reference to the sad state of affairs going on in Washington. You gang up on those guys who are tired of it and you cheer eachother on much like Jr High School girls... You act like bullies but you play the victim card when you get it back in your own dish. Finally I am NOT here to argue with anyone or to participate in a contest to see who can create the most drama from what should have been a simple discussion so how about you let it go and stop humping my leg ? Carry on....UM comes in with a deeply personal story about the dangers of being taken in by witch doctors pushing miracle cures to enrich themselves and you attack him? Dude, that's low!
UM's aunt is why we need the FDA. The point, NH, which you missed, isn't Walnuts, it's protection. To protect those who need protection. To ensure that our medicines meet minimum requirements. Why would you or anyone disagree with that?
Before the FDA a sure way to get rich in this country was travel the countryside looking for rubes to push some miracle cure off on. These medicine men sold everything from water to radium ( which killed it's victims within a year). And while you may be OK with fleecing people with deadly cures, most of us aren't.
Diamond Foods settled with the FDA and stopped the false advertising.
Unless you are OK with false advertising who doesn't agree with that outcome?
