I didnt realize I was debating something ( i dont even know what).

as a side note, OTC pharm and western medicine in general are interested foremostly in $$$$$$$$, so it the stuff works it surely would be marketed to the OTC aches and pains crowd. If not then theres a golden opportunity to make $$$$

The logic is good unless nobody has thought of marketing the stuff (not likely if its so effective)

Next logic step = its not very effective or there is some legal hurdle that cant be overcome ie its dangerous somehow or alleged to be dangerous. This doesnt stop actual pharma which actually is extremely dangerous also tobacco which is extremely dangerous but it is sold because much $$$$$$ .
