The hospital I worked at was allowed to order epsom salts, and they did after I intervened. I also helped other patients who had been denied expectorant (mucous relief cough syrup). It was just laziness and indoctrination that prevented the patient from getting what they needed.
But know licensed medical providers have to operate under laws. Are you saying it's "OK" for George Noory to bring on paid sponsors, claim it's a "medical show" in which people call in and receive solid medical "recommendations"? Is that kind of nonsense what you are defending?
We are not here to argue whether licensed medical providers are right and wrong. We know of a certain overnight radio program that hosts guests that steer people away from doctors, act like a medical provider and then only recommend -- basically order -- such suckers to buy the unproven crap they sell at outrageous prices at that "criticalhealthnews(dot)com".
OK. Where is their legal responsibilities in that? Know that no disclaimers are aired that indicates the views of the host and the guests are for informational purposes only and not meant to replace consultation with a medical provider. Then, further, at daring to label callers as their "patients," sans ever seeing the person themselves, taking vital signs or drawing blood to be tested, sans any paperwork every licensed-medical provider requires...and you are OK with that? I'm not.
Again, the way those "alternative-health programs" are conducted should be scrutinized. If that's "news" or objective, editorial matter, I'm a monkey's uncle. Noory likes to brag about "the handful of emails he receives" for those who have been "helped," even though we never know whether they had a condition in the first place, but what about hearing from those who were lied to, cheated and maybe harmed? Not a word, huh?
I encourage people who suspect something shady going on to file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission over "Coast To Coast AM" and its association with "criticalhealthnews(dot)com." Noory likes to brag "people will burn" or how he stands for the light and truth, but he is one to be questioned himself. The guy is a known fake. The guy thinks just because he "says it," it must be true. Baloney. He is not a nice person. That's obvious. He cares nothing about the health and welfare of his listeners. He talks and he talks. That's all he does.
He is out to sell you a bill of goods. That's his mode of operation, using the
argumentum ad hominem in response to anyone who sees through him and that program. If he really cared, he'd air proper disclaimers and even perhaps fully disclose any and all business ties with that "criticalhealthnews(dot)com" sponsor, or Youngevity International itself, or whether "anything of value" is being exchanged for such "news" programs aired under Premiere Networks.
Check the
"Coast" Twitter feed. Are any such posts sponsored? In other words, are sponsors having "news" posts inserted alongside the program's "editorial matter?" Sans disclosure that such posts are from a paid sponsor? Are they. If so, that's a big no-no -- one that could weaken the program's First Amendment rights. Ask any capable mass-media attorneys. They'll tell you the same things I am.
You've heard it from Noory himself: "All we want to do is help one person." One person? Imagine any licensed medical provider who claimed that? Any hospital? Just one? Noory implies that even if one thousand people seek out that snake-oil, and nine-hundred-and-ninety-nine get cheated, that's "OK" with him and his guests. Huh? Is that what you are defending? I hope not, in the name of proven medical science.
