I'm not objecting to her questioning medical science. I'm objecting to her giving greater weight to quacks than to science. She's directing her primary energies at questioning science while giving quacks a free ride. It isn't a question of judgement but of sheer perversity.
I understand you to think wholistic is quakery. If I have that right, I assure you that like conventional medicine there is some
quakery but if you listen to the science oriented ones as I do, there is a whole lot more genuine science in it than in the conventional method and as well, a whole lot more evidence that treating wholistically leaves the patient more healthy than treating via the conventional method. Deborah Ray, Dr Whitaker and a number of others talk science daily relative to the products and practices which they advocate. Dr Whitaker did not build the largest naturopath wellness facility in the US on quakery. He being a former conventional MD integrates using mostly naturopath methodology and consistently saves basket cases which the conventionalists have left for hopeless or dead.
Saturating the body with products which are not natural to the body or fit for introduction into the diet is not good science. Ever so often it begins with one or two drugs and as the side effects of those kick in others are prescribed and as the siede effects multiply it's not long before ten or more drugs are on the daily list leaving the patient a miserable wreck. The rapid advance of the science of naturopath is mushrooming and being used in Europe, Mexico and other nations where it is tolerated. Obviously you are not aware of the extent of the science in it all but we who are following and applying it daily are apprised on it.
