Well, other than Polio and Small Pocks, which was discovered and cured many decades ago...what diseases have been cured lately?
They didn't really cure those 2 diseases either. They developed immunizations in order to prevent the diseases, the same immunizations that people are up in arms about saying they are unsafe and causing autism and guillain barre syndrome. They may in fact have these untoward effects but the benefit far outweighs any potential side effects.
Unless you are the one that gets those side effects, then I think ones idea of being a benefit would change. In fact, if really linked, they made more illnesses that you need medical care for.... They may in fact have these untoward effects but the benefit far outweighs any potential side effects.
Of course it sucks if you are the person who has a side effect! There is risk involved with everything. Getting out of bed in the morning brings a whole new day full of potential disasters. I won't bore you with examples of these potential disasters. I've seen several of the autism studies and the most recent one I saw said there was no difference in instances of autism between the groups who were immunized and the groups who weren't. There hasn't been any established link to these diseases but some people still think immunizations are unsafe. Look at it this way. Around the turn of the century the average life expectancy was around 40 years. Today it's almost 80 years! What exactly is that gain in life expectancy attributed to?

Vaccinations have played their role in extending life expectancy as well. Nutrition? I'll have to disagree with you on that one. Our diets are worse for the most part.
This one I can sorta agree with you and sorta not. Many people's diets aren't necessarily WORSE, but portion control and caloric intake is out of control for a lot of American people. I can agree that the fast food epidemic is pretty bad indeed. Remember those commercials where they show the 50's families with entire sticks of butter on their dinner plates, giant amounts of fried bacon and eggs, etc.... The consumption of fried and fatty foods to healthier foods such as veggies hasn't really gone up - it's just that food is far more available and lifestyle is more sedentary than it was in years past. The exception to this is the addition of High fructose Corn syrup to many foods that was not added before; we are eating far more sugar than ever.Nutrition? I'll have to disagree with you on that one. Our diets are worse for the most part.
One interesting phenomena I've noticed is the addition of vitamins and minerals to fruit juice and stuff that already should already be healthy and should have plenty of vitamins and minerals. Why are they doing this? It really pisses me off! I just want some fucking OJ! I don't want extra Calcium or DHA! If I want extra Calcium I can just drink a glass of milk! Sorry, it's kinda my hot button issue of late.

A company would make far more off a 'cure' for any disease than it does selling treatments. The evidence that vaccines are linked to autism just isn't there. Autism seems to be more of a problem recently because of; increased awareness of the condition, increased range of what is considered to be autism.
Medical Marijuana is Alternative medicine.
Cannabis is showing evidence of being a helpful treatment and is becoming mainstream, which agrees with my point. I was referring to the many bunk treatments for autism.
And I thought I was the only one
I really hate those Stansberry videos. Not because of the information in them, but they take forever to get to the point and you can't skip around the video.
