I hate the medical profession

[Nirvana]

That's one of the things that makes drug production expensive - if they fail then they don't get to sell it.

Vioxx?

Commercial value outweighs any effecive testing value on the alternative side.

Isn't that the problem? BTW I do not own alternatives they are not "mine" I prefer a mix of the available information. I will visit a physician. I also believe that people should be able to choose their own path. Even if Steve Jobs could have lived longer maybe he did not want to...Should medical care be forced on people? No, unless they are a danger to others...
