TopicRight To Alternative Treatments
Content The large pharmaceutical companies have their "rent-a-representatives," in Congress, working on proposed legislation that would deny Americans the right to alternative (natural) treatments. These companies (collectively known as Big Pharma) are concerned about possible economic losses due to public use of natural cures known to be equal, or better, than current drug treatments. Big Pharma is also working to reduce funding for research on natural protective agents such as the polyphenolics found at high levels in organic foods. The mega-farms, and giant food companies, also oppose any type of research that might show organic foods as having benefits not found in their chemically produced foods. As a matter of public welfare, Oklahoma needs to help assure that all of its citizens have the right to alternative treatments, as well as relevant information about those treatments.
