"For the record" a lot of alternative medicine *is* very science
based. Only the peanut gallery seems to think it isn't. There's a
lot of university research out there that hasn't yet been implemented
by the conservative mainstream "science based" medicine. But they're
beginning to catch on and learning that the centuries old concepts of
the metabolic causes of medicine that East Indians and Chinese use
have some validity. Just like one size shoe won't fit us all neither
does just one medical approach to a problem.

One of my favorite recipes:
Ingredients:
1. Whole grain organic brown rice.
2. Spring or filtered water.
Directions:
In a stainless steel pot with a copper clad bottom, add 1 cup of washed
rice and 2 cups of water. Cover. Bring to a boil. Cook on low flame
until done. Optional: Serve in a bowl. Season to taste with San-J Shoyu
or Tamari. Set a timer /if needed/ or meditate for twenty minutes.
*Important notes on eating:
*DO NOT REMOVE THE LID BEFORE THE RICE IS COOKED AND TEST IT WITH A
FORK. DO NOT EAT THE RICE RAW WITHOUT COOKING FIRST. DO NOT EAT THE RICE
ON A FULL STOMACH. DO NOT WATCH TV WHILE EATING OR RECLINING ON A SOFA.
FOR BEST EFFECT, TRY TO SIT UP EITHER IN A CHAIR AND AT A TABLE . EAT
THE RICE SLOWLY WHILE GAZING LOVINGLY AT YOUR SIGNIFICANT OTHER (if you
have one), OTHERWISE, YOU MAY REPEAT "Nyum nyum nyum" IN A MODERATE TONE
OF VOICE WHILE FEELING YOUR BODY AS A WHOLE. DO NOT VISUALIZE YOUR MOUTH
AS JUST A CUP CAKE HOLE. BE AWARE OF EATING. ENJOY.

The term allopathic, which is often used in a derogatory sense, was
invented by Hahnemann, the creator of homoeopathy. So it is basically
a quacks take on regular medicine, although at the time the term came
into use, regular medicine was still pretty primitive, and probably
not very effective. Today the term 'evidence-based medicine' is used,
or 'science-based medicine'. Here is an interesting site that deals
with various conflicts found between alternative therapies (which I
usually call the alternative to medicine) and modern medical
practice. Science-Based Medicine <http://www.sciencebasedmedicine.org>

I've been staying out of the Alternative Therapies free-for-all for a
number of reasons. First, it's been done to death here before, so the
whole faux outrage thing has a decidedly been there, done that, don't
need to do it again vibe to it. Second, possibly because I bailed
from the TMO early, I never got infected with that uber-hypochondria
that so many long-term TMers exhibit. I never got into fad diets or
mega-supplements or any of that stuff, and have managed to remain
remarkably healthy *anyway*, never having to "go there" and put any
attention on my health. I've been lucky enough to be healthy and stay
healthy...what was there to focus on or obsess on?
Third, I currently write articles for all sorts of people in the
health care industry. A few of them probably work for Big Pharma, but
most are just everyday practitioners of allopathic medicine or
chiropractic or some alternative practice or some mainstream
specialty like cardiovascular medicine. And to a person I don't think
any of them would disagree with the comments one of them put on the
T-shirt below (some MDs might get a bit of a hitch in their panties
over the mention of chiropractic, but that's about it).
Most of them would LOVE it if their patients would just pay more
attention to their diets and to getting enough exercise. But they
don't. They want a "quick cure." And they want it whether it comes
from a Big Pharma pill or a homeopathic sugar pill or a Chinese tonic
or an Ayurvedic potion. Health care providers -- whoever they are --
get pushed into the savior role because people go to them demanding
the "quick cure" and shouting "Cure me, cure me!" They're not willing
to do the work every day that keeps them healthy in the first place,
so they expect someone else to do it for them.
