No one's saying pharmaceutical companies aren't fucked up, and will do anything to squash any competition (they will), but that doesn't make "Natural Medicine" not bullshit lol (its bullshit).
Ok I misspoke, I mean to say "alternative" medicine, not "Natural" medicine. If it can pass a double blind study, i'm all bout it, but otherwise no thanks. Any natural medicine that is effective enough to pass a double blind study is already widley available, and sold by the pharmaceutical companies themselves, synthetic or not. so really this article is just defending Homeopathy nuts. Don't enable them.
Some of it is, but I treat almost everything I get naturally. When I'm sick I drink herbal tea with honey and lemon juice while popping Vitamin C and Zinc lozenges. When I get warts I irritate them with sandpaper every couple days and they go away in a couple weeks. I wash my hair with baking soda and condition it with apple cider vinegar.
Even if there's a lot of scammy bullshit, there are certainly cheap and effective natural methods out there.
