3. I too have learned to completely ignore them
for anything they say will do nothing to change all of our positive and valid experiences with other ideas and theories of nutrition, supplementation, and complementary health care.

I took a University course this year (working for my degree in Human Geography) delving into the scientific view of the world/medicine/healing and "other" views, and came to the conclusion that science as a whole, while giving us many wonderful and real gifts, has saddled humanity with another whole set of problems.

Scientific medicine is great for emergency medicine and some diseases, but totally lacking with many, more chronic health problems, and that traditional and complementary medicines are filling a huge gap in the wants and needs of a growing number of people for less invasive, less side effects treatments, and more holisitic and gentle approaches.

Critical studies and articles on all forms of medicine enjoy my attention, but Quackwatch is immediately deleted if it crosses my screen. Too hysterically dismissive of any-and everything "unscientific", too arrogant, and way too fundamentalist thinking for me.
