By the way, I heard (I hope this person was wrong) your buddies at q. watchers said there is no such thing as targeted chemo. Ah, maybe someone would like to have a sit down chat regarding Pet Scans and branch out from there! Or am I the only one who can add 2 + 2 ?

I also seem to recall reading on your website that you can’t effect what’s going on in your blood through diet. Funny thing regarding my national brand pharmacy is that they have almost an entire shelf dedicated to helping diabetics control their blood sugar levels through, get this, diet. I know, I know, it must be some grand scheme by the folks at Glucerna to get rich off of poor ignorant diabetics.

While some stuff on your website sounds legitimate, you sound more like a propaganda machine for Big Pharma.

This is good reading

“The problem is that we don’t know what we are doing,” says Dr. Eddy. Even today, with a high-tech health-care system that costs the nation $2 trillion a year, there is little or no evidence that many widely used treatments and procedures actually work better than various cheaper alternatives.

This judgment pertains to a shocking number of conditions or diseases, from cardiovascular woes to back pain to prostate cancer. During his long and controversial career proving that the practice of medicine is more guesswork than science, Eddy has repeatedly punctured cherished physician myths. He showed, for instance, that the annual chest X-ray was worthless, over the objections of doctors who made money off the regular visit. He proved that doctors had little clue about the success rate of procedures such as surgery for enlarged prostates.

Indeed, when he began taking on medicine’s sacred cows, Eddy liked to cite a figure that only 15% of what doctors did was backed by hard evidence. A great many doctors and health-care quality experts have come to endorse Eddy’s critique. And while there has been progress in recent years, most of these physicians say the portion of medicine that has been proven effective is still outrageously low — in the range of 20% to 25%. “We don’t have the evidence [that treatments work], and we are not investing very much in getting the evidence,” says Dr. Stephen C. Schoenbaum, executive vice-president of the Commonwealth Fund and former president of Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Inc.

Based on his results, the American Cancer Society changed its guidelines. “He’s smart as hell, with a towering clarity of thought,” says Stanford health economist Allan Enthoven. Dr. William H. Herman, director of the Michigan Diabetes Research & Training Center, has a competing computer model that clashes with Eddy’s. Nonetheless, he says, “Dr. Eddy is one of my heroes. He’s sort of the father of health economics — and he might be right.”

” ..Glad you you had them, so none of the 22 in your extended family suffered polio, measles, smallpox, etc.”

This is a big misconception for those who do not understand homeopathy.

Our maid servant’s daughter had small pox as did my brother. Both were treated with homeopathy. Both are alive and fine today except for some marks left behind. My son had measles after he was vaccinated for it. He was treated with homeopathic remedies.

……We demand that it stand up to rigorous, scientific evaluation. Homeopathy has not stood up to this scrutiny; in fact it cannot…..

This is the basic argument when a medicine is to behave like a drug. Not the question why a drug should not behave as a medicine- a complete cure and not suppression of disease that requires the drug to be taken indefinitely, no adverse effects requiring recall, not creating a bigger problem (antibiotics).

……Either you wish to prove homeoepathy using the method, or you stand outside society……

Which society? If data is something to go by, the society using alternative medicines is growing faster.

“other than mandatory vaccinations during childhood” Vaccinations are scientific medicine. Glad you you had them, so none of the 22 in your extended family suffered polio, measles, smallpox, etc. and are still with us, uninjured, on the earth today.

“paint everything other than the conventional medical system as useless” This is once again faulty logic: a red herring. We do not think everything else is useless. We demand that it stand up to rigorous, scientific evaluation. Homeopathy has not stood up to this scrutiny; in fact it cannot.

“the conventional system is too weak to be a yard stick for measuring other systems.” Once again, faulty logic: special pleading. The scientific method — itself continually improving — has proven its worth time and time again. It has resulted in the computers we are using to converse right now to the vaccinations that prevented your child diseases. There is no other way. Either you wish to prove homeoepathy using the method, or you stand outside society.
