Americans spend a good chunk of their healthcare dollars on alternative medicine, such as acupuncture, yoga, chiropractic care and natural supplements, a new government report shows.
...
Expenditures in 2012 included:
• $14.7 billion out of pocket on visits to complementary practitioners such as chiropractors, yoga instructors, acupuncturists or massage therapists -- nearly 30 percent of what people spent on traditional medical services.
• $12.8 billion on natural product supplements, which was about one-quarter of what people spent on prescription drugs.
• $2.7 billion on books, CDs, videos and other self-help materials related to complementary health.

What?! Chiropracticy is an alternative medicine?! So that means that Alan from "2 and a half men" is a fraud?!! And they say Charlie Sheen is nuts.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
