“If people let the government decide what foods they eat and what
medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as a sorry state as the
souls who live under tyranny.”
― Thomas Jefferson
Where there is money and/or prestige, there will be those seeking to take advantage of people. It does not matter whether we are speaking of alternatives or otherwise.

@JTT,
I'm suggesting we distrust any quote we can't source. That's all.
The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.
....Edward FitzGerald's translation of the Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám
