Being that I was up at 3am, I saw a very interesting infomercial. It was for a book about how the drug companies and the FDA do not want you to get healthier or even thinner. By finding a cure to something, the drug companies lose business. Also, by placing hidden fats and addictive substances in food, the food industry remains profitable.
The author claims that by calling a condition a disease, the natural sunstances found in nature cannot make the claim to cure anything -- even though they do. For example, he had a guy with Acid Reflux disease take a teaspoon of vinegar. He instantly felt better and didn't have to resort to expensive drugs.
There were many diseases mentioned but here are the ones I remember: depression, fibromialgia, diabetes, acid relux disease, cancer, arthritis and herpes.
Anyone heard of this?
