You decide

K and I went for a talk on integrative medicine yesterday afternoon.

One of the speakers made angry doc's spidey sense tingle, and I googled up his name last night.

Here's one article 'for' him.

Here's one article 'against' him.

And here's an abstract of the study which was referred to in the talk and also the interview linked to above.

You decide.

  • Your title "You decide" perhaps sums it up.

    In any trial or study, there is never a 100% efficacy or success or failure of any treatment. What we do is take some numbers and read into them.

    Some patients may get much success in being treated one way and they will swear by it. Sometimes it can't be proven scientifically.

    Some of these "CAM" doctors are people who may have had personal experiences with "CAM" and then swear by it. Some may be doctors who have seen patients recover after seeing "CAM" doctors and then they get interested.

    Some of course don't see any results and condemn it.

    Well you decide.
