Mike stated, . . .
To an extent they are correct, in that alternative medicine, as it's
practiced on the internet, is a chaotic zoo of conflicting claims,
belligerant hucksterism, fanatical debunking, and utter lunacy. If you
are looking for an excuse to dismiss the whole thing, you *will* be
able to find all the justification that you need.
I'm sorry, I had to read the specific paragraph of your post several
times to allow the shock that YOU actually wrote that sink in, and take time to
let the sting of your opinion wear off. I found your one particular paragraph
astonishing, embarrasing, and ill-stated. I am wondering what an intelligent
person such as yourself is thinking. If you are going to slam an industry with
hundreds of thousands of dedicated and competent people devoting their lives to
it, it would be most appreciated that you state "TO WHAT EXTENT" you actually
do mean.
I come from 30 years of education, training, and experience working in
this field of alternative and holistic health, and my experience is that like
anything else, there are those who are quacks, hucksters, and people simply out
to make a buck anyway they can. These people can be found in all industries,
in all walks of life, and yes, on the internet, of course. But to say, that
alternative medicine as it is practiced on the internet is ". . . . "; I find
very shallow, opinionated, and simply creating much more harm than good. It
does a dis-service to those who are not in the above category, which by the
way, are most; and provides an even greater loss to those who might have just
tried alternative means to save their lives and the health themselves and their
loved ones. But, because you are held in high regard, some people, not all,
will take your word for it. CS is not the only possibility for health and
wellness.
