I've been studying how to beat cancer lately and I can tell you that it is NOT easy to dissect the truth from partial truths and outright deception. You can read 2 scientific papers that say practically the same thing, only each of them reaches very opposing conclusions. It's no wonder people throw their hands up in the air and turn their lives over to the so-called experts.

You can find "scientific proof" of almost anything on the Internet! Bacon is good for you, AND it will kill you... all at the same time.
Ultimately, I find it all comes back to "follow the money." It increasingly feels like "truth" is more dependent on who's paying for it, than on its actual veracity in the physical world.
If only the universities went back to being funded with public money, we could trust their reports a lot more. With private money threatening to withhold funding for damning reports, of course you wouldn't find any! Simply fudge a few numbers here and there, manipulate the environment of the experiment and report the findings that have been expected! (and paid for)
Yes, one of the fundamental problems with "for profit" healthcare is that the incentive is not on "healing," the incentive rests on "treatment." And then it rests on focusing on whatever "treatments" are the most profitable.
It's not the patients that need to be kept happy, it's the investors.
