jc's response:
I read that guest editorial at the time the issue took off more than a year
ago.
Unfortunately - it does NOT support the positions of those with benevolent
non-knowledge of the subject of scientific review.
The 'business' aspect of the pharma industry having been taken into account
(I said this in my previous post - precisely to cover a possible response
using the 'guest editorial' ) .... There is NO systematic scientific review
of the claims of the Ayurveds or the Homeopaths.
That, I submit, is the major reason for the skepticism.
I am particularly concerned about side-effects of drugs.
BTW: I would have the same skepticism about any allopathic medication which
made scientifically-uncorroborated claims.
