Re: Ignoring the failures of alternative medicine



"You know what? If the allopaths were actually able to successfully heal
and care for people, and their ailments, this would not be an issue.
Would it?

In the absence of anything useful in allopathy, the only alternative is
alternative. Whose fault is that?"

What a curious set of logic that? By "alloppath" one assumes one means
scientifically evidence based medicine? As recalled, it was invented to
put on equal footing science with the non-scientific snake oil lot who
wanted to control the language and the spin on medicine, ah politics.

Outcomes of successful treatment rates is the only measure, and that
based on controled research. In which case as the original article
details the "alternatives" have little about which to remark.

The $30 billion "alternative" industry has in place of scientific
results only the heart felt promises of the salesman and the political
clamor and placebo effect by which to comfort in an otherwise treatment
vacuum..
