It might be worth mentioning that there is no known animal reservoir for hepatitis B. This means that vaccination should be able to eliminate it completely, just like smallpox. As about a million people die of this disease every year, this would probably be a good thing.

Do you believe that Pharmacuetical companies are honest, enthical, fair and care for your health and well-being?
I wouldn’t say that about any company. A company is just an arrangement of people. To the last point, though: the job of a company is not to ”care“ for your well-being. That’s up to you and the people in your life. As a rule, I don’t think pharmaceutical companies callously and maliciously disregard their consumers i.e. there’s no conspiracy.

Do you believe that all drugs are worth the side effects?
Can’t say that I know what all drugs are, nor their side effects. Provided the patient is aware of the possible side effects, and makes an informed decision I don’t see a problem. I think it’s a personal choice of weighing up original ailment vs possible side effects. In most cases, I’d say, the POSSIBLE side effect/s won’t be worse the ailment the drug treats.

Do you believe that herbal treatments are worthless? If no, which ones are ok?
No, but I’m more likely to trust something that has been proven to work (a.k.a medicine). Also, there are side effects from herbal treatments too, don’t forget. Can’t say that I agree with herbals in lieu of medication in serious/life threatening cases though.

Do you believe organic food is a waste of money and a scam?
Personally, I don’t choose to buy/consume it, but I haven’t looked into it enough to say whether it’s a scam.

Do you think pharmacuetical companies and reseacrh scientists will find a cure for cancer?
Well, some science fiction tends to disagree, but I’d like to think that it’ll one day be a reality.

No, they should be vaccinated with several glasses of merlot, dissolved lightly in a large glass brick.

b) I don’t believe all drugs are worth the side effects. However a side effect is nothing more than an effect other than the goal effect. There is nothing we intake which has a single solitary effect, everything has multiple effects it’s just that for many things the effects other than the one intended are so mundane and normal they’re not worth mentioning/noticing. To claim something has no side effects what so ever (as alt medders claim) is to claim it has no effect.
.

c) No, herbal treatments are not worthless. They have active ingredients which mean they have effects, and side effects. The problem with them is that the active ingredient is not as well controlled as they are in conventional medicine. They also regularly have other ingredients which may be detrimental. The drugs side of conventional medicine came about purely out of controlling the dosages more accurately and removing the alternate ingredients. It grew out of a refining of herbal medicine. Choosing herbal is nothing more than taking a backwards step.
.

d) All food is organic. However what is generally marketed as “organic” food isn’t any more nutritious or tastier than what isn’t marketed as organic. Just look up all blinded tests on the produce. “Organic” foods are treated with fertilisers and pesticides that despite being “natural” are actually more damaging to the produce and the environment than standard fertilisers and pesticides.
.

e) One day, sure, I don’t see why not.
.

f) Why not? If they’re not then the number of possible carriers increases, if someone does get it it will be more likely to spread faster. If all babies are vaccinated the ability for it to spread is greatly reduced.

The guest may be a true believer in colloidal silver or whatever macguffin he’s hawking, but it doesn’t change the fact that offering false hope and a placebo for profit is ethically reprehensible. I wonder if this poor man ever reflected on the consequences of being wrong about his product. At least in mainstream medicine, there are clinical trials and independent reviews which benefit both the researcher and the public; there is an enforced process of reflection. It’s not perfect, but unlike alt-med, it does a pretty damn good job of showing both the safety and efficacy of treatments, thus keeping out the cranks. Even “brave maverick” doctors & scientists need evidence of their claims.
.

Still, it was painful watching this poor crank get slagged in public. Better that than catering to his delusions.

Do you believe all babies, even thought most are unlikelt to contract it, should be vaccinated with Hep B at birth?

Talk to your doctor, get a second opinion and make a decision on what makes you comfortable.

Personally, I would not mess with cancer. High blood pressure can kill, but then lifestyle changes can drastically improve this.

I like to think of it like this; when I have a plumbing problem, I call a professional plumber. As such, when I have problems with my health I see a qualified doctor.
