Answer: Because relatives dont want to do any work, most are all lazy and give attention to if they cleanse their colon they will somehow be healthier instead of eating resourcefully and exercising. They want a quick fix..
Why are you bothering to ask this?
What's the point?
Are you just trying to generate gloomy attention?
If so, why not just be honest with your grill and say it upfront "Why are you people so stupid?"
How are you self any different from the hundreds of atheists who go on the christistrian forums and say "How could you possibly believe within God?"
It has no actual purpose except to harass race.
I'll try some questions for you.
1) Why do people believe the waste posted on quackwatch?
In cross examination, the owner of the site has admit taking money from the AMA to promote their business, the guy who refutes most of the alternative medicine claims isn't even trained to be a average doctor yet alone comment on methods he doesn't understand, and he regularly lies and uses threadbare arguments to prove his case.
2) Why do you think anyone who's see firsthand proof homeopathy can be superior to allopathy is going to change their opinion because you made fun of them for one an idiot? Most of the people here are here because they know the stuff works and they want specific details on what to do in enduring cases. It's not an audience seeking to have "the falsehood of alternative medicine proved to them." At most minuscule spam somewhere where there's an audience.
3) Why are you lumping colon cleansing with homeopathy? The criticisms of respectively are completely different, and scientific models have be established which can prove how colon cleansing works (the lack of which is why homeopathy is attacked more often). Why not add "and absorb in aerobic exercise" to the list as powerfully. Some doctors and medical professionals still sincerely believe that's bad and useless for you to.
4) Why do you feel the necessitate to persecute and attack those with opposing viewpoint from your own?
5) In the future could you get sources which at lowest possible appear believable? This was the first sentance from the second one after quackwatch
"You can hardly turn on the box without being bomabarded near informercials for "natural" colon cleansers."
6) Do you have any interest whatsoever in have a logical reasoned debate on this or do you simply just wish to irritate people on here?.
It's probably brainwashing. Just like the brainwashing I get from doctors, nutritionists, and dietitians about caring for my diabetes. Thanks to alternatives, I no longer own to take prescription drugs and feel great. Imagine. Must be the placebo effect as close to as I can figure. perhaps because the more they swot about western medicine the more they get the message it is primarily a money making machine (pharmaceutical industry). more than 200,000 people die contained by hospitals each year because of medication errors. prior poster, Alex, said it better.
Why are people so susceptible to "quackwatch" - a certain, highly biased, pseudo-scientific 'scam'? although I am sceptical of cleanses, homeopathy can and does work in conjunction near regular health care..
Only give or take a few 5% of medical treatments can meet the standard of proof demanded by those sites.
Just so you know.
