I normally don’t have much good to say about Dr. Gott, but this time he lays the smackdown in this letter:
Alternative remedies are, for the most part, understudied. Their production is not supervised by responsible government agencies.Some alternative drugs appear to show promise, but, if you are willing to be honest, drugs are drugs.
What is the difference between an herbal remedy and a prescription drug? Is it not likely that if “drugs are all garbage,” then this false generalization also applies to alternative therapy?
When I said I’d take your points one by one, I did not realize how unrealistic that position was, so I modified it.
I was not surprised that your letter contained no name, address or e-mail. This is exactly what I would expect from an ignorant and insecure alternative therapist.
