While there may be a lot of useful information at
one of the underlying themes there seems to be that all nutrients and drugs
should be controlled by terrocrats, and that terrocrats should require
medical licensing and have the authority to approve or deny the sale of
certain substances. For an example take a look at the article at
http://www.quackwatch.com/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/hfreedom.html
The above article is critical of those who talk about "health freedom" and
implies that anyone who believes in health freedom is either a quack or
someone who's been deceived by quacks.
Sure, there may be a lot of quacks out there, but as long as they aren't
doing anything to purposely deceive their customers, and their customers
want to take their suggestions and/or buy their products, they should have
the freedom to do so, and to live with the consequences.
