[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 114273, member: 3419"] This is nothing against you, Barbara, just that you may want another source of info. Stephen Barrett is somewhat of a quack himself, I'm afraid. He's got a vendetta against anything that is not old-fashioned, drug-based allopathic medicine. He only spends about 5-10 min. speed reading topics and has no idea how to really research, which is ironic, because his main complaint against alternative medicine is that none of it has double blind studies. Anyone who makes flat statements like that should not be taken seriously. Again, ironically, many of the double blind studies that have proven certain alternative therapies work were performed by the very medical doctors who thought to disprove them. He actually doesn't believe that ANY of the items listed on that page are valid... strange, because the first listing is acupuncture, which many M.D.s use. He is at present being sued by about 14 different parties for libel and slander. Here's his bio: [url="http://www.quackwatch.com/10Bio/bio.html"]http://www.quackwatch.com/10Bio/bio.html[/url] If you type in his name, you'll find lots of stuff for and against him. by the way, this would be a good subject to move to the new health topic.
