Right now it's worse than you state. Any completely unprovem acupuncture, herbal, chiropractic, homeopathic, etc treatment can get sold with basically no restrictions. Only medicine requires science. It's the worst of all worlds right now.
You also have to really struggle to convince me that there is an ethical case of banning someone from doing what they want with their own body.
I mean, you would probably say someone it is good to donate to medical research. You would also probably say it is good to volunteer for a medical study. But it's somehow wrong to give money to get the treatment? Makes no sense to me.
- jolux 5y agoMedical claims have a regulatory regime around them though, and alternative therapies are generally not allowed to make medical claims. This is not enforced as carefully as it should be in my opinion, but it definitely exists.
- jleyank 5y agoWhile it might be a struggle to convince you what you can or cannot do to your body, nobody but you should be compelled to pay for the materials. Given social or insurance based medical systems in most countries, the rights of the many win out.
