Interesting article :-\

Ironically the Guardian is noted more for championing many of the 'causes' lambasted in the above ::)

Interesting yes, but it seems a bit biased, at least as far as I waded through it.
While attacking herbal remedies and the like I found nothing said about the
rampant drug pushing by drug companies. A drug for every ailment, imagined or real.

Usually accompanied by a list of adverse side affects long enough to choke a horse.

That guy was a shill for pharma. All a drug has to do to be approved as effective is work  30% of the time. If your Honda worked 30% of the time you would get rid of it and buy a Harley which would work in the neighborhood of 50% of the time.
