Just a little background:
Last night I was flipping channels and hit ESPN2. On TV was the Arm Wrestling Championships. It made me think of a kid (he's 38 now) back in the mid/late 80's named Jason Vale who used to manage a pool hall we played in. He was one of the top arm wrestlers in the country (he was only 17-18, 2 years younger than me) at the time. I also remember him being a devout Catholic and someone told me (though I never asked him) he had some type of cancer. According to the article I read, it was terminal. He used to teach us how to arm wrestle and even entered me in the NJ State Championships (I won my first 3 matches before hurting my arm).
Anyway, I wondered what happened to him and I did a Google search and found, to my SHOCK, what happened since then. You can read all the details here. The legal troubles he ran into, I will admit, were his own fault. Whether you believe he believes the remedy works or he's a scam artist isn't the issue (you can't deny it, he is still alive). But, all this, as stated in every article I read, were brought...not by any customers complaint of a scam...but, by the FDA on their own.
It made me think and ask.....my question to you:
Do you believe there are natural cures, used by other societies, that could replace the 'normal' methods we use to cure cancer, diseases, the everyday cold, flu etc? It also made me think....just imagine the thousands...tens/hundreds of thousands...of jobs that would be lost if there actually were natural cures.....
