111. The only thing I have to say about "alternative medicines"
Edited on Wed Jun-18-08 12:58 PM by Q3JR4
is that the only medicines that are "alternative" are those that can't be proven scientifically. Every medicine that has some sound basis is no longer of the "alternative" variety.

The fact that, even after 113 years*, there is still no scientific basis for chiropractic medicine other than the placebo effect for pain relief is to me very damning.

Q3JR4.
