There is this book out, I forgot the name of the author called "Nautal
cures they don't want you to know about" I think that is right, I think
it is available only by mail.
The book talks about how the drug industry lobbies the FDA to give
credit only to drugs as cures to illnesses.  In other words only a drug
can be used to treat diseases.  Also, the drug industry wants more
ailments to be classified as "diseases", meaning problems like obesity
will some day perhaps be a "disease" treatable only with a FDA approved
drug.
The author talks about how vinegar can be used to treat acid reflux.
Also in the book, it talks about how the food industry is using
additives to make their food more addictive, or cause people to eat
more and become fat all in  the name of making profits.
I saw the informotial, and I am trying to find this book in stores, but
for now it is only available by calling.
