I guess they are saying this is as far as medicine develops during this cycle of human development out of the dark ages.Windy Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01951254236693386401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2807403883562053852.post-61207216730519093002016-02-22T12:00:28.013-07:002016-02-22T12:00:28.013-07:00https://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/the-illusions...https://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/the-illusions-of-right-to-try-laws/<br /><br />The problem with "right to try" laws as most are being written/considered is that they piss all over science and open the door to outright quackery being sold as a last ditch attempt save someone's life, and will eventually (note not 'could', but 'will') lead to scam (where the cam part == complementary and alternative medicine) artists bilking the families of dying patients out of whatever is left of their savings after the hospitals and legitimate doctors[1] have it. <br /><br />A huge part of the problem is that "legitimate" (note quotes) medical organizations have little desire for expanded access or "right to try", but with a trillion dollar market out there a lot of less scrupulous folks have a HUGE incentive to open things up, and very, very few politicians or their sttNo<br /><br />Thus you get stupid s*t like this https://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org/heath-savings-accounts-a-tax-sheltered-way-to-pay-for-quackery/<br /><br />That said, I come from the side of the aisle that says "You can put anything you want in your body, and any government that uses men with guns to prevent that is of questionable legitimacy". Of course that side of the aisle says "Oh, but if you do, and it messes you up, well, Big Boy Rules". <br /><br />The problem with "right to try" is that it gives legitimacy to crap like Colon Clenses, Oxygen therapy for curing cancer and the link. <br /><br />And once you give those murderers access to the billions of dollars in health care you'll have more and more people refusing things like radiation and chemo therapy that are BRUTAL, but proven to work at least most of the time, and going with enriched smoothies and sent therapy which at least let them die with most of their hair. <br /><br /><br /><br />[1] I have no problem with the quality of care and effort most doctors and nurses make. I think they do their best, and they should get compensated handsomely for their work, but often hospitals and insurance companies have...let's just say that they're not as spendthrift as they could be in some areas.
