I think this only proves that you didn't hire a good firm. Great PR firms can actually do incredible things, but the tricky part is knowing which firms are great.

I think it's fair to say that I'm biased against drugs, yes. To your second set of questions, it totally depends on the situation (patient's willingness to change, type of disease, science of drug-based vs non-drug-based interventions, whet

Great points! Wish I had time to respond. Edit: Meeting got out early so I have a minute. You're right. Surgery is the only option in some cases. The question to the surgeon was about heart disease in general, or hardening of the arteries.

I think that's mainly because of tradition and the difficulty involved in getting people to make a wholesale change in their diet, not because of the superiority of the medication in reversing the condition. See my other comment for sources

Just one anecdote on that point. I'm pre-med and I recently shadowed the director of cardiac research (a cardiac surgeon) at the big hospital/medical school in this area. He was asked point-blank by a patient, "I've been reading that with d

AFAIK 70-80 human studies have been done on tDCS, most of them placebo-controlled. Here's a review on the topic from Nature: http://www.nature.com/news/2011/110413/full/472156a.html

Interesting. In many ways we are still in the dark ages of medicine (treating symptoms). In the future we will know the causes of asthma, and directly fix them.

Sounds like a high-maintenance angel investor. "A related red flag is asking me a question or mentioning something that I've obviously addressed in a blog post." This is a red flag for me from the other side. It comes off as out-of-touch to

I would take anything from quackwatch with a huge grain of salt. It is very biased against all non-synthetic, non-pharmaceutical medical treatments. The author either willfully ignores the science published on herbal pharmacology and nutrit

From what I understand, your main point is that there is no need to call it "alternative" medicine because something is either medicine or it is not. I agree with your sentiment. The problem lies with our current crop of medical professiona

It depends. If you look at the peer-reviewed research, you'll see that pharmaceuticals and surgery are not the only option (depending on the disease, of course). I started http://www.reddit.com/r/altmed/ (non-pharmaceutical medicine based

The trend of anti-religious comments below is saddening, even more so because it seems to be the overwhelming group-think on the subject. For a group that has benefited so much from the foundations setup by religion to attack the same is sh
