I trust centuries of people not dying from everything without scientists more than I do drug companies. I don't trust drug companies or their alleged studies and scientists - if you do - then fine.
LOL Well sure, the human race lasted, but we did die from *a lot*. I mean, smallpox for crying out loud! Just sayin'

Like I said, I don't begrudge anyone their alt med and I'll mostly shrug about it until they decide their essential oil is somehow better than insulin (my grandmother did this and it killed her, so I'm also highly skeptical of alt med for that reason).

I trust the scientific method and scientific consensus. Again, that's just me.
