    Yes, and it's amusing that the quacks' diagnoses of the
    causes always seem to be the very disorder that their own
    brand of quackery treats. If they sell zappers, the
    problem is parasites. If they are chiropractors, the
    disorder is a subluxation. If they replace fillings, the
    diagnosis is mercury toxicity. And so on.

    Yes, I see your point. I think of it in terms of a
    funnel..... Whereas 'organized medicine' starts at the wide
    end, runs tests to rule out what 'isn't' and narrows in on
    the cause to determine the treatment.....'alternative
    medicine' starts at the narrow end, adding treatment after
    treatment to fill the funnel hoping to cover the cause
    along the way.

    You are wrong, again. Ah well what can one expect from
    someone like you. Followed any juicy orders lately? You do
    follow orders, yes?
