Reply #55: "breakdown of scientific method"- is that your straw substitute for science being wrong &

[Hannah Bell]

enforcing its wrongness?

i'll give you one from my own field: when total parenteral nutrition was first used, patients were massively overfed & died from the "treatment". We were shown photos in grad school of corpses with veins & arteries clogged with fat from the "nutrition support" - all based on the best scientific standards of the time.


don't know whether scientific method broke down in this case; of course they eventually stopped TPN-ing to the point of death. but there have been similar problems all along the history of TPN.
