Homeopathy had No Place in Pharmacy: Canadian Pharmacist

[AikidoSoul]

47. FAUX "News" has much in common with "Quackbusters", Stephen Barrett, American Council on Science and

Health, and other similar propaganda organizations.

These individuals and organizations are funded by corporations dependent on the money they would
lose if the truth was known. One big example is The American Council on Science and Health (ACSH) -- a front organization for the chemical/pharmaceutical companies and other industries that have much to lose via chemical injury. ACSH receives its financial support from those industries. This is well documented below via the Center for Science in the Public Interest and the PR Watch group.

There is also a very interesting expose' on ACSH by Consumers Reports in an article entitled "Forefront of Industry or Just a Front." ASCH members are industry shills. ACSH does not invite anyone on the board or into its membership if they are honestly pursuing links between toxic chemicals and neurological damage and disease. ACSH's job is to continually twist the truth and paint all environmentalists as misguided fanatics. ACSH thinks homeopathy is a scam.

Center for Science in the Public Interest has an excellent web site showing lists of scientists, non-profits, universities -- etc., with ties to industry -- including ACSH --at:
