Guess what? A natural therapy can cure cancer, but evil doctors don't want to tell you about it, because the medical establishment wants to make money with Mosanto and Dupont rather than cure your illnesses! Watch all about it.
Update: Sorry, I missed Orac's successful attack on this thing. Thanks Science Pundit, for pointing it out.

[This is a very long post, a reply to Orac's (my respected SciBling at Respectful Insolence) equally long response to my also long original post that invited him to tell us what he thought separated his brand of medicine from the "alties" he frequently posts about. Probably most of you won't have…
I must admit I have a love-hate relationship with Bill Maher. He is a funny guy, he is good at mocking some of the more ludicrous aspects of politics, and he has been an effective critic of this administration and some of its more egregious policies.
However, I've also long held the position that…
Do these claims make you at all suspicious? A few people on Twitter told me I should look into this panacea.

Imagine all the poor transhumanists who were born in the 19th century. They would have been fantasizing about all the rapid transformations in their society, and blithely extrapolating forward. Why, in a few years, we'll all have steam boilers surgically implanted in our bellies, and our diet will…
Orac really tore that movie apart back in November. Definitely a fun read.
The problem this theory has is that history shows that when a cheap cure to a expensive disease arises, it wins out over more expensive treatment.
Take syphilis. Once upon a time, syphilis was treated with a series of arsenic based treatments that could take multiple treatments over years to affect a cure. Regular doctors did not particularly want to deal with arsenic and the other toxic substances involved. So a specialty arose- the syphologist (sic). They made bank treating people with syphilis.
Then someone invented penicillin. Suddenly, there was a cheap and easy cure to syphilis. So easy that any doctor, hell any patient with the nerve to stab himself in the bum with a needle could perform. Guess what happened? As a cursory examination of your telephone book will show, the syphologist went extinct as the occupation ancestors of PalMD outcompeted the expensive syphologist and drove them out of business. How was this possible?
Well insurance companies, patients, and hospitals like saving money. By paying like $20 for the penicillin rather than mucho $$$$ for syphologists, they saved a great deal of money which they spent on luxury cruises, houses, and better salaries- things insurance executives, patients, and hospital administrators like.
