Re: Regarding 'money & herbs'... Re: "When science cannot be questioned..."

Surely the lust for money can be a great corrupter, but making a reasonable amount of money from the same area one is an expert in or feels a calling for is no reason in and of itself to condemn that person or discount their expertise or advice.  Would someone discount Einstein's mathmatics because he made money from that profession?  The advice of proper shoe care from a cobbler?  Recipes and cooking from a chef?  Gardening from a gardner?  Hardly.

There is nothing inherrently wrong with being able to support yourself doing something you love and feel a calling for - and what higher calling could there be than to help others beat and avoid illness and live longer, healthier and happier lives naturally?  If either you or I had to work a full time unrelated job then the amount of time we could devote to helping others would be much, much less.  Scratching out a living from doing what we love is to me the best of worlds.  Now, if we were foisting off worthless crap and advising people to buy something merely to enrich ourselves, that would be very different.  But such is not the case.  "Scratching out a living" has certainly been the operative phrase for me.  But I'd rather scratch out enough for a roof over my head and food on my table by devoting 60 to 80 hours a week helping others than working 35-40 hours as part of the matrix and being quite wealthy.

As regards the other topic, I think that science should always be questioned - and more so than repeated  historical and personal observation - because today's science often turns out to be tomorrow's crap.  It has always been the great fallacy of man to try to apply our limited scientific knowledge and understanding to forces and results we do not fully understand - as if everything in today's world could somehow be validated by today's limited knowledge.

A couple of hundred years from now, mankind will surely look back on much of what we think we know today - and what we don't know - with disdain.  As the truisim goes, "lack of evidence is not the same as evidence of lack". Just because our limited knowledge cannot quantify something today does not mean that it is not valid.  It often means that we simply lack the understanding and knowledge.

None of us have even close to full knowledge and expertise, whether it be science or nature and natural healing.  I personally think that it is the height of absurdity, not to mention downright harmful, for anyone to set themselves up as ultimate authorities here.  Especially so when they demand scientific proof (which we don't owe them to begin with) and when they attack some of the basic tenets and members which have well served so many here at CureZone.

It's one thing to be skeptical and engage in discussions on a topic one does not agree with or understand, but,  no matter how much someone might help otherwise, repeatedly naysaying everything except one's own truth likely turns many more people away from help they might otherwise have gotten and silences the opinions and questions of others who do not want to subject themselves to the kind of responses they have too often seen here.

The bottom line to me is that when we observe something to work for hundreds, if not thousands or more, and when we see it work for generations and even centuries, then that observational evidence is more than enough for me and more valid than most arguments based on so-called scientific standards.  I don't care what the make-up of so-called stones are, nor even how exactly a liver flush can be beneficial, but, though they may not work for everyone, I have seen plenty of evidence that tells me that they surely do work for a lot of people - including people I know.

I would also observe that the very large majority of people I have seen post in favor of liver flushing have  no financial motivation whatsoever.
