I bet you also criticize homeopathy for having dilutions so strong that they don't have any active ingredients in them at all (which is true!), but funny juxtaposed against an argument that homeopathy is poisoning people with arsenic. The reality is that non-alternative medicine is that subset of medicine which has been regulatory captured. Whatever medicine couldn't be made profitable was then deemed alternative and relegated to the quacks. It's a shame we've handed health and medicine to big business on a silver platter.

> funny juxtaposed against an argument that homeopathy is poisoning people with arsenic As I said, useless or harmful. If super diluted, useless. If insufficiently so, harmful. > Whatever medicine couldn't be made profitable was then deemed alternative and relegated to the quacks This is nonsense. If your doctor is never recommending e.g. a diet change or physical exercise or even PT, and only prescribing medication, get a new doctor. Most medical research is not pharmaceutical.

  "Most alternative medicine is crap" isn't saying much. Most of anything is crap. Everything I know about my condition is from alternative medicine. Mainstream doctors simply throw their hands up. Most things alternative doctors say about it are crap, but I'm grateful that with some investigation, the truth turns out to be well-explored.
