Alternative Medicine

RE: Alternative Medicine
(June 14, 2009 at 12:39 am)Tiberius Wrote: Chiropractic treatment for back problems isn't alternative medicine; trying to treat ear infections with it is. Acupuncture I tried back when I was ill-informed, but it didn't work anyway. Also tried homeopathy before realizing it was just water.

I'd have to disagree (or at least hold fire on giving my assent) as to the claimed value of chiropractics (and so would Ben Goldacre) as I don't think believe there is any real empirical evidence that it works just yet and that they are currently suing Simon Singh for criticising them only adds to my suspicion that it is bogus science.
