Why is it that so many people are ready to believe that their doctor is in an evil cabal with the drug manufacturers and the FDA, but that any website selling "snake oil*" is the real deal?
*"Snake oil" is defined as any pill, tablet, capsule, suppliment, serum, lotion, cream, ointment, suppository, containing an exotic substance, which has not been subjected to any clinical trials and has not been evaluated by the FDA.
Why is it that I hear klaxons going off whenever I read that some new "medical cure" "was seen on or in" Oprah Winfrey, Time Magazine, Newsweek, Dateline, the American Journal of Medicine, 20/20, and even CNN!
