  The Suppression of Alternative Medicine is Widespread and Dangerous Mainstream medicine has long colluded with the mainstream media and government to deprive us of life-saving information and treatments in order to eliminate the competition and increase their profits. This has deprived patients of access to many treatments that are safer and often more effective than the pharmaceuticals and surgical interventions most often offered by mainstream medicine.
