I found an interesting website today called Forbidden Science. Interesting stuff, and a great skeptical voice on modern medicine. Not sure how she feels about herbalists, but I'll hang out for a while and get the lay of the land.

I really like what she has to say about pharmaceutical companies and their influence on doctors:

Science is supposed to be objective. Unbiased. Certainly if the person performing an experiment has a monetary stake towards having the outcome of an experiment go a certain way, that taints everything. And yet our society seems to believe that Medicine is scientific when in fact it is corrupt to the very core.

Go read the whole story. It's a quick read, but well worth it.
