MSS really is different than an allopathic drug. It occurs naturally, even in our bodies. It can't be patented. Allopathic drugs may be almost natural, but they always tamper with the chemistry enough to make them patenable. They HAVE to make money off of them. They are developed from natual bases many times. But, big Pharma is not going to recommend a naturally occuring medicine because it simply wouldn't be in thier best interest economically. Also with Miracle-Mineral-Supplement , we can study and decide the best amount to take with our own minds and experience. I think we should be allowed to do this. It is our lives that are are at stake and Big Pharma doesn't always do such a great job. Look what they did to iodine. My God, they knew better on that for sure. But, it isn't patenable. People really got sick from Iodine deficiency and the resulting rise in bromine, flouride and so on. It is more than a substance being a food or plant that differentiates it from allopathic drugs.
