My rant (cont)

I totally agree with you, and was merely pointing out that there are also just as many flaws with alternative health, which tend to go compeltely untested! Although I believe this, in many cases, is getting better.

I get a bit sick of the Science bashing really. I also hold a Science degree, but in the earth sciences, so I cannot speak for biology, but I know in my field that it certainly isn't biased to industry funding, and research is something that people go into because they do not wish to be swayed by industry. Things are never as simple or black and white as they seem.

I am very alternative health pro, and do not trust the regular old GP for any health advice (besides pap smears and the like), however I am constantly appalled at the lack of any regulation, because, as can be seen here, any old anyone can claim any old thing they like, and people believe it. In the case of many alternative products, they buy it, try it, find out it doesn't work, and move on to some other product that claims to cure every illness under the sun. It's dishonest. As for Moreless, instead of just answering some questions he may know the answer to, its turned into a forum where everything from basic chemistry, thru to chelation, my dogs throat tumor, dental health etc etc etc, is explained in some made up, incorrect fashion, just so he can appear to know all the answers to every bloody problem out there.

There are very good alternative practioners out there, but they have studied the profession, worked under another good practioner, and had years of experience treating people and seeing the results. A web page does not do that.

Thanks for the reply, I do agree with you more than you probably think. Tweet
