There used to be regulations requiring much more testing, it took longer to patent the treatments, and longer to do the trials. These regulations were voted out some time during Clinton, it was Newt Gingrich, and then the market exploded. I am not being partisan, just stating when this happened. His argument was that there were "life saving medicines being held up in research." It's one of those statements that maybe have some little bit of truth, and a lot of horseshit that comes down to money. As someone said before, these treatments in the form of pills is part of what happens if you take the pill or potion, or w./e. If you have symptoms, research them yourself, figure out what is causing it, and then look for how to turn that around. I am 75 and take two prescription pills. One for bloodpressure I cannot get down normally due to dysautonomia due to an auto immune issue, and one for chronic pain, same dose for over 10 years. The rest is supplements and a pretty healthy diet. God help me, I have some issues, but there is no pill that I can take, or more hardware for joints I can have them put in, that will not give me more problems, not less. If death is one of the side effects they rattle off, I just say no. Someone in my home watches tv during the day, and I can hear them on. So many. And all they do is take away symptoms, maybe kill some cells, its safer to get a juicer, and drop bad habits like alcohol, smoking tobacco, chewing tobacco, drinking diet soda, drinking colored soda, eating olive loaf balogna, krispy kremes,etc.
