    Your suggestion isn't fair.

    Why isn't it "fair" to ask alt-med to provide exactly the same sort of
    data on its success rates and survival rates as conventional medicine is
    expected to provide? To me, that is the height of fairness. Until
    recently, alt-med pretty much got a pass on having to prove its claims
    of efficacy.

    Alternative medicine is the new kid on the block.

    So what? That does not exempt it from being able to demonstrate its
    efficacy.

    What's more organized
    medicine won't accept anything alternative, as show here.

    Whine, whine, whine. Evidence talks, [censored] walks. The reason most
    alt-med claims tend to be rejected is because alt-med advocates can't
    produce any compelling evidence to support them.

    Cue Jan to post:
