Re: Ignoring the failures of alternative medicine

I suggest you read your own post again, and when you figure out what you wrote, go to the mirror and start calling that guy, obtuse, and a blathering idiot.

You can't claim a bogus product is a cure for the same reason that you can't yell "fire!" in a crowded cinema  - both put people at risk.   There are limits on speech in every society for very clear and well thought out reasons.   Think about (succesfully) it and you will see how foolish your arguements are.

The point is that even you say "proven", very few are actually proven to work, most are just used out of tradition or social inertia.  You are confusing, tradition with proof, I do not make the same mistake.
