There's nothing to stop you from doing that. But for the reasons that I mention, the reasons that make that point relevant, are indeed also based in science and medicine.

If you want to read about the one remaining, least commercially, idealological influenced, broad minded organisation left to adjudicate through all of the crap put out by cults and zealots alike, then just read the 57 page report they put out on the subject at:
http://whqlibdoc.who.int/hq/1996/WHO_PSA_96.11.pdf
By the way, just because Healy and Breggin stand up for patient's rights and for full transparency and disclosure from big pharm. doesn't necessarily always make them fall under the influence of the anti med/bzd lobby. They are consumer advocates that want rightfully to hold the corporations to a higher standard.
Of course that doesn't keep the cults from using them and misrepresenting them out of contesxt for their own political and moralistic purposes....
