I'm with you 100%. The pharmaceutical industry is a huge scam, and any natural remedy will be better than a "knock-off".

Consider this - I read of a study a few weeks ago where in Japan they took a large group chain-smokers that smoked at least 2 packs a day and gave some a glass of 100% pure OJ that has about 100 miligrams of vitamin C, gave some a vitamin C pill with 1000 miligrams of vitamin C, and gave some nothing every day to see which faired the best with respect to cancer. Turned out that the group that had the glass of OJ faired much better than the group that took the 1000 mg pills, even though the vitamin C is what was fighting the cancer. Obviously the folks that took nothing did the worst.

Go with the real thing, in the most natural form, for the best results. Besides, the vast majority, if not all, of the drugs that are out there are synthetic knock-offs of something that's found naturally.

As a cancer-survivor, I can assure you I stick with the real thing now; screw the synthetic drugs (although if that's your buzz, not dogging you). It was recently discovered that calcium, yep, plain old calcium, is probably the most effective tools to fight colon-cancer (what I had).

Unfortunatly, Halo is right though....probably won't be anytime soon that we're able to pickup some ganja in the produce section or grow it legally, but I'm still hoping & praying & wishing for it to happen one day!
