Outlawing ALL unproven medical practices,
#37
RE: Outlawing ALL unproven medical practices,
Also, as a final point, because I was listening to this week's episode of Skeptics Guide to the Universe, and Dr. Novella brought up an excellent point. He said that alternative medicine proponents don't understand the nuances with risk versus benefit. Either a medicine is 100% effective or it's poison.

Medicines are not magic and they are not perfect. There will always be a risk in taking anything that alters your body in any way, the difference is recognizing what the risk is and what benefits outweigh it.
"The way to see by faith is to shut the eye of reason." Benjamin Franklin
