- so many of you love to bash the medical trade, yet you enthusiastically gush over vaccines ignoring the fact that the greed and deception of the Big Pharma folks runs deeper if anything with their vaccines then with the drugs they make.

        Oh well, it must be true then. I suppose wearing a crown
        makes you immune from errors of reasoning.



    Well, I was kidding you, of course.


         Even Turq once disagreed with Curtis anti-homeopathic
        stance because he had actually found a homeopathic substance
        useful. There's something to the science even if it twiddles
the mind of a high school trained scientist. 
        That's the point, there is nothing to the science. That's
        why we do science, to work out what's real from what isn't,
        there's nothing like blind testing to give the lie to dodgy
        claims. Like we did with astrology and all sorts of other
        nonsense. Check the periodic table posted by MJ earlier for
        details.

        :-D



    Problem is the naysayers are "often reviewing a movie without
    having seen it."  These ideas sound wacky to them until the
    "white coats" adopt it for their mainstream medicine (as has
    happened with some of ayurveda).

    =

    You actually can get homeopathy on the National Health in the UK
    but there is a campaign to stop it as using tax payers money to
    fund something you can demonstrate is ineffective when there are
    so many people with health problems that simply drinking water
    given to you by someone friendly won't cure, the money should go
to effective and tested treatments. 
    =

    I would say that until something is tested it shouldn't be
    described as medicine (this happens here anyway) if ayurvedic
    treatments survive double blind tests then yes, they should be
    included in public health programmes. But as it is it's not a
    system of knowledge but a set of folk beliefs, some of which are
    known to be seriously dangerous. Testing is expensive though so I
    fall back on my trusty old maxim: try ayurveda until there is
    something wrong with you, then go see a proper doctor.
Sounds like you've been brainwashed by Big Pharma. Welcome to "Brave New World" which is just what Huxley feared (in spite of those who think he was suggesting it as a solution -- they seemed to have failed to read the opening of his "Brave New World Revisited."
I guess you think that most MD's are geniuses instead of often just kids of MDs who want to join the "family business" and make it through medical school with help from dad or mum's influence on the dean. At least that is often the way it goes in the US.
It's all about money and Big Pharma is just the the Military Industrial Complex where lots of money is to be made at the cost of lives of the general public. And BTW, some of Big Pharma's "wonder cures" have proven to be ineffective too if not downright dangerous (Vioxx for example).

        Believe it or not, I don't really have a particular
        interest in alternative therapies, I just can't help
        picking at the scabs of alt-med credulity.
