Who Owns The Rights To Natural Medicine?

In this day and age natural medicine, the once forgotten stepchild of healing is now being fought over by various groups. The MDs are teaming with corporate America to lay claim to the notion that they have a miner's claim on any kind of healing by virtue of their superior training. The Chiropractors lay claim to acupuncture inan attempt to get an invasive procedure to solidify their status as real doctors, The massage therapists are adding electrostim (acupuncture point stimulation) and laser to their arsenal and the Acupuncturists are trying to make themselves doctors. Add to all this the body of uneducated lay practitioners hawking everything from electoranalysis machines to low (and ineffective sham)-level laser and you have a keystone cops type comedy. Natural medicine belongs to the people of this planet. It is their right to be able to take care of themselves and their families. It is not right for a government to tell someone that they cannot make a choice for themselves on how to attain health. How can we ban a supplement like tryptophan for 20 years while we let people smoke millions of cigarettes each day?
The answer is money, greed and corporate influence. Now I am not trying to be a socialist. I just feel that when it comes to healthcare let us be able to take care of ourselves without corporate inteference.
