But I don't find your view that in most cases surgery alone is

I do, even after I told you so several times. If someone is that

the only appropriate response.

OK OK, relax will you, there are times when I have
too much stuff going on and probably assumed you
meant something without reading carefully.

Here, try this to relax:

Why did the amnesiac not do well with his Homeopathy remedy?

Answer: He forgot to take it and died of an overdose!

There must be better ways and people are flocking
to alternative medicine in the hope of finding those
ways.

yes, they hope to cure a horrible disease with an easy cure. I wish it
were possible, but right now, it isn't.

Yes, it isn't, true, at least for most but that should not
stop us from looking.

You can deny people choice and insist
that they undergo the "standard" torture... er treatment,

No no no no no, and a thousand times more no. I insist that the
purveyors of those magical cancer cures either prove it works or stop
lying. If they honestly tell people that they can take their stuff for
their cancer, but that research has shown it doesn't work, that there
is zero reason to even think it works and that it hasn't yet cured
anybody, then I am perfectly ok with it.

Well that's fine with me, a perfectly reasonable viewpoint.

My problem is that I am having an inordinate amount
of trouble trying to find out one way or the other
what works and what does not and both in standard
medicine and in alternative stuff it is not
always easy to find this out. In standard
medicine, they have evolved what seems to be
some pretty reasonable and rigorous testing procedures
even before they get to human trials. I'm not
at all sure these testing procedures are appropriate
or fully applicable for alternative medicine. I'm still
researching on this. There is a Greek Homeopathy
doctor who seems to be far more scientific
than the "modernists", he finds the Benveniste results
worthless and does not think much of the water
memory idea either.

We must accept that, just like the mysterious electron
slit experiment which remains unsolved in quantum mechanics,
the human body and human life still contain a huge
number of unknowns about which we know nothing
and quite possibly do not even know of the existence
of unknowns. So more research, AND openmindedness,
is needed by everyone.


OR you can join me in seeking those alternative
systems which show progress, may work or do work
and those that do not.

There aren't any. The only thing that has recently shown some promise
is DCA, and that ain´t alt/med.

To blindly deny efficacy of ALL alternative medicine
is to block progress. Don't you think when a non-standard
procedure becomes validated that standard medicine
will embrace it quickly. Look at Vitamin C supplements -
once dismissed as nonsense by standard medical
doctors 30 years ago but gradually they came to
agree on its value. I think good doctors of all
systems of medicine are motivated by a desire
to help their patients get better. Right now
surgery and chemotherapy are about all that
standard medicine has to offer. I think there
might be alternatives out there. To find out,
we must look. I repeat, we MUST look.

We must look to things that show some plausibility. Some guy picking
random herbs from his pasture because he thinks it cured his horse´s
cancer and that it will do the same in humans is not something that
shows plausibility.

Yes, dammit, exactly, but we'd be fools not to pursue
research on did the horse really have cancer and, if so,
then why he was cured... and if not, what did the horse
have and did the herb have something to do with it getting better.
