Re: wowhappens28 #9400
So pseudo science good, evidence based medicine bad?
That seem s to be the thread throughout this guy's work. I read his anti-vaxxer polemic too.
I certainly take nutritional supplements that I feel meet my needs. No one prevents me and my doctor does not discourage me.
But it seem that there's an entire industry of actual quacks who mistake evidence based refutation of their claims for McCarthyism.
In fact much of the article is a projection of the McCarthyism practiced by the author who uses innuendo, fact-challenge assertions and conspiracy theorizing to smear evidence based medicine.
But let's play 'what if?'. What IF the medical and pharm industries disappeared tomorrow? Now all we have are what the author and others like him say we should have.
Presumably no one will grow ill anymore and no one will misdiagnose their health issue or mistreat them with whatever 'natural remedies' are left.
Criticisms will mount as sickness and death rates not only do not decrease but rather increase precipitously.
The author will argue, in a characteristically non-evidence based way, that things are much better than they were. The funeral industry will agree.
