"It isn't just an individual study here and there that's flawed. Instead, the very framework of medical investigation may be off-kilter, leading time and again to findings that are at best unproved and at worst dangerously wrong. The result is a system that leads patients and physicians astray – spurring often costly regimens that won't help and may even harm you. "

I don't expect any company to prioritize my health. Business priorities are to make a profit, and this includes so-called "spiritual" businesses.

Gone are the days when I blindly trust any business, large or small, to prioritize my health or my pet's health. We need to do the research, even when it's conflicting. Then all we have is our informed intuition and self-knowledge.
