Fr Ivo says: All medical systems should grow scientifically and work together. I endorse integration of all medical systems. All have their plus and minus points. All are needed. Medicine is not a panacea for all evils. === jc's response: All systems which expect to interact with each other, work together and grow 'scientifically' - must endeavour to do the following (IMHO): 1: Provide 'scientific' proof that the 'substances they use' have been tested, the side-effects noted, the patients advised of their side-effects and cross-reactions with other 'substances' including food....so that it is the Patients who can make the choice based on the advice given by the doctor. 2: Sure, provide anecdotal evidence but then "in order to grow" ....test the efficacy and safety by 'scientific' means ....available to ALL scientists. I suggest that 'substances' which are NOT subjected to rigorous scientific testing and accurate reporting, will not receive the respect of the scientific community. This is what happened to Vioxx. This is what happens to countless 'remedies' on the market. jc
