Alternative medicine practitioners

November 5, 2007

Problem is, they “have never developed humility in the face of disease”:

It is easy, for example, for your acupuncturist to promise a perfect cure because they’re not really treating anything, just some nebulous mumbo-jumbo like a dysfunction of your ability to receive pure qi from the heavens. Side effects? None, of course. It’s perfect medicine because, despite being based on a completely imaginary idea of physiology that has no relation whatsoever to the way things actually are, it can magically target your imaginary complaint.

Valid points but it is the proverbial pot calling the proverbial kettle black. With the allopathic junk science of railway spine, fibromyalgia, myofascial pain syndrome and a host of other bullcr*p purely subject nonsensical “diagnoses” allopathic clinicians need to clean their own house of withcraft and snake oil before having any credibility to criticize anyone else.
