There seems to be a perception among some that the alternative medicine industry is somehow warm and cuddly in comparison to everyone's favourite baddie, 'Big Pharma'. I'm sorry to say that 'Big Altie' is every bit as bad as Big Pharma. These are not charities - they are businesses like any other. Their responsibilities are to their shareholders, not to the public.
