33. Desperation clouds rational thought

Alternative or Complementary medicine is more acceptable to people with serious illness who have been told there is no cure or the cure is Hella expensive.

Acupuncture, homeopathy, mega vitamins - all used to be thought of as quackery.

Bobby.jr taps into that anti-establishment mindset.

Some believe big pharma and insurance are colluding to not only rip us off but to make us sick and dependent on their products while suppressing cheaper remedies.

Chicken soup for small pox, anyone?
