"Many alternative remedies and treatments are based on long term cultural trial and error and observations of efficacy and side effects. It may not meet modern peer review "standards" but even the peer review system is ridiculously rife with flaws. My conclusion is that alternative treatments are probably no better or no worse and no more dangerous or no more safe than anything sold with the FDA's seal of approval. Six of one, half a dozen of the other."
The same high level of logic, tap dancing over the facts, and hand waving as final proof we have come to expect.
"My conclusion",aka my opinion without support, is not where science ends. All of the assertions above are open to scientific varification so we don't need to accept coin tosses alone as best evidence.
