NOT TRUE! You haven't been around the drug and health care racket long enough. There are many cures and treatments out there that remain labeled quackery even with hundreds and thousands of cured patients. Hemp oil is one of them. Chelation therapy, DMSO, ultrasound for pain, Esiac tea, wild lettuce for pain, and many more. One that has intrigued me is the Esiac tea cure for cancer. Go to Youtube and watch the history of it. There is also many stories of hemp oil curing cancer and MS, along with about a half dozen other maladies. People have been getting Chelation treatments for decades since the 1940's. I've had a doctor give me an ultrasound treatment for pain in my arm and was immediately healed. Goggled it and it was found under quackery. No drug would help my bursitis and the treatment worked completely in 5 minutes. The truth is the drug companies don't want a cure unless they have it and can charge you mucho denero.
An old doctor of mine used to give kutapressin for shingles and other diseases. At the time it was a leftover for making B vitamins from pig livers. Now it's been patented as Nexavir. They won't mess with something that costs $10. It has to be $300 a bottle to even get a look. Watch the history of Esiac tea and see what they did to the woman that used it to cure thousands of womens breast cancer. If chelation works on heart disease, hundreds of billions will be lost for something that is cheap and safer than aspirin.
Medical science progresses incredibly slowly, because the human body is orders of magnitude more complex than any machine ever built. This fact is a boon for hucksters who can pocket tons of cash by promising miracles and selling snake oil.
Any time you see someone promising miracles, just ask where is the empirical evidence to back them up? Where are the multi-arm clinical studies with hundreds or thousands of patients? Where are the animal studies that have to precede the human studies? Where are the preclinical studies that show that the treatment in question can hypothetically treat the condition?
Anecdotal stories are not evidence.
In the real world of medical research, we are plodding along, plodding, plodding, devising ever more sophisticated tools to try to understand the human body, and then using that knowledge to design and test many thousands of compounds, only to have maybe one or two that show any promise at all. And then the likelihood that those one or two candidates will survive the many years of rigorous testing and make it to FDA approval is slim. This is why it costs hundreds of millions, up into billions, of dollars to develop drugs, and is largely why they are so expensive.
