chinese medicine, ayurveda medicine, and even maori medicine have been around for many many more years than western medicine, and for all that time they have been effectively treating a multitude of pathologies, even though they may not have been "clinically proven" by the western biomedical paradigm. please be aware that what western medicine considers to be healthy or healed is not necessarily the case. many drugs that doctors prescribe have various side-effects that are Detremental to the patient. not so with chinese medicine (i presume the same for other complementary modalities - TCM is the only modality that i have studied for four years). chinese medicine has no side-effects (unless by wrong treatment, where the practitioner deliberatly creates more pathology).

have you ever considered that the scientific method may itself be fallible?
Yes. And rejected the idea that it could be fallible after careful thought.
The idea that there could be a flaw in the concept of testing a theory in a controlled and carefully thought-out manner is patently absurd.

Mainstream medicine, while it does offer some powerful therapies for serious conditions, tends to isolate the parts in distress rather than looking at the whole. The focus also seems to be on alleviating symptoms -- while this offers relief in the short-term, it is not the same nor as beneficial in the long-term, as addressing the root cause of the condition.

In the States, where the HMO's have such a stranglehold on the healthcare system, it makes sense business-wise, if not health-wise, that the short-term alleviation of symptoms is the focus. It keeps the consumer coming back for more.

If I sound defensive it's because I am. I get sick and tired of hearing my profession, a profession dedicated to service, to healing the sick, and a profession that requires serious sacrifices in one's personal life being trashed as if we were in the business of intentionally making our patients sick for our own personal gain.
