My response:
"I am not familiar with orthopathy, yet, But I am familiar with todays
"dominant medical paradigm" and we are all unfortunate because it is
"utter bilge." The natural approach is logical, symptomatic treatment is
illogical. Addressing root cause is logical since it leads to a cure.
That's not really true. Addressing the root cause is much more likely
to lead to prevention. There is no guarantee that it will lead to a
cure once the disease is already underway, since the damage is done at
that point.
Covering symptoms allows root cause to continue and cures nothing, and
in effect causes more problems. Allopaths are the quacks."
Except that you're assuming facts not in evidence. That is to say,
you're assuming that conventional medicine is merely "covering
symptoms." It's always an article of faith among alt health adherents
that they, and only they, are getting to the true "root cause" of
illness. The corollary, of course, is that conventional medicine is
full of dummies who are too stupid to realize that they are not
getting to the root cause.
This sort of attitude is very comforting to the alties, who can then
congratulate themselves heartily for their own wisdom. Trouble is,
there are so many supposed root causes, most of them contradictory.

What makes you think I'm interested in convincing you? You're already
wedded to a particular (peculiar) paradigm and have no intention of
changing, so what would be the point?
By the way, why on earth are you enclosing your responses in quotation
marks?
