Well, it is not surprising that Sense about Science has come out against alternative health methods and homeopathy and anything not part of the pharmaceutical or big agra industry.
With their medical industry sponsors growing you can really now say that “Sense about Science” is really a front for pharmaceutical industry and other groups involved in the development of pharmaceuticals and chemicals such as Universities doing “pharmaceutical research and patenting” and medical publishing giants.
Again, it is not surprising that the organization would bash at alternative medicine and homeopathy. Anyone involved with this “sponsored” organization has a lot of funding to lose if they don’t toe the party line and make their masters happy.
The shrill shrieking of their “sponsored” mouth pieces and followers gets louder and louder- suggesting drugs, MRI radiation, anything chemical, genetically modified are good for you and suggesting that homeopathy is evil and any ‘alternatives and those against genetic modification are evil. A profit driven religion of science. And of course there are news reporters that are happy to also get in on the shrill shrieking. Just where the drug companies want it and plant it.
So here we have the source of what and how you may hear about homeopathy. Well, remember the previous post. This pharmaceutical industry is about billions of dollars, marketing and not necessarily about your health. Your right to alternatives gives you the ability to make sensible decisions about your health and put it all in perspective. These intelligent decisions are yours to make and not the pharmaceutical companies and their paid mouthpieces.
Just look at some of the money bags that “fund” the biased Sense about Science spokespeople:
ABPI, the Association for Clinical Biochemistry, AstraZeneca plc, the Biochemical Society, BAMA, British Toxicology Society, Blackwell Publishing, BP plc, British Institute of Radiology, British Pharmacological Society, Elsevier, EPSRC, Esmee Fairbairn Foundation, Garfield Weston Foundation, GE Healthcare, Health and Science Communication Trust, Institute of Food Research, Institute of Physics, Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine, Institution of Chemical Engineers, John Innes Centre, John Innes Foundation, Medical Research Council, Motor Neurone Disease Association, Multiple Sclerosis Society, NESTA, New Scientist, Oxford University Press, Parkinson’s Disease Society, Paul Hamlyn Foundation, PHG Foundation, Physiological Society, Research Councils UK, Royal Academy of Engineering, Royal Astronomical Society, Royal College of Pathologists, Royal College of Radiologists, Royal Meteorological Society, Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain, Royal Society of Chemistry, St John’s College Research Centre, Science Careers.org, Society for Applied Microbiology, Society for Endocrinology, Society for General Microbiology, The Times, University of Dundee, University of Edinburgh, University of Glasgow, University of St Andrews, University of Stirling, University of West Scotland.
Remember many of these Universities get direct funding and profit sharing from their pharmaceutical research.
You gotta hand it to them, the drug companies know how to sell the goods. But what an ugly business and downright nasty way for drug companies to get their “science” forward. Unfortunately it is not always in the best interest of your health. Explore alternatives like homeopathy, its your right and you’ll be happy you did. And remember, when you hear from these people bashing homeopathy keep in mind who their sponsors are.
