More Whacked Out Fake Medicine at Natural News.com
The internet if filled with unsubstantiated health claims. The bottom line is that in evidence-based medicine we resort to the gold standard of peer-reviewed findings in quality journals, interpreting data derived from double-blind, placebo-controlled trials with significant numbers of participants. The results are reproduced between independent (and frequently competing) research groups, and if they are not, this is reported as well and the original result is held to scrutiny by the field at large. This is the only way to demonstrate efficacy in the absence of human sensory and psychological overlays.
Real medicine stands up to this gold standard.
Of course, there are those that believe that their homespun remedies and concoctions probably have stronger effects then researched medicines, so those should be offered as alternatives. They tell us that Big Pharma crushes alternatives, just like those scoundrels that accept evidence for the science of evolution conspire to crush Creation science and keep it out of schools.
Good Ol' NatureNews.com is my newest favorite spacebat website to read, and now I want to keep ripping them new ones because they allow my comments, then take them off because they don't succumb to the chloroform of their central theme of "science is bullshit".
Here's one of their recent posts by Mike Adams in reference to the family that refuses chemotherapy for their dying son....
Furthermore, the whole universe of natural cancer cures that really work has been sidelined by this Minnesota judge who is, no doubt, completely ignorant on cancer and human physiology. All these were utterly ignored: Vitamin D (http://www.naturalnews.com/008567.html), selenium, oxygen therapy, medicinal mushrooms, microalgae, Amazon rainforest herbs, Chinese Medicine herbs, high-dose vitamin C, raw foods juicing, wild foods extracts, superfood powders, raw cacao, broccoli sprouts and a thousand other things that we know help the body reverse various cancers.
All these things were apparently thrown out of the courtroom and almost certainly disparaged by drug-pushing doctors who claim that only their own chemicals can treat this disease.
All of those treatments were utterly ignored, mostly because none of them have been shown to work. Sure, you can find someone in your D&D club or some stoner with their head in a netty pot to tell you that someone they know had cancer and was cured with microalgae, but science does not support the claim. There are no references, no citation, because none exist! Chinese Medicine is a dismal failure. Life expectancy over there accelerated when they started using Western medicine.
I also L-O-V-E that the highlighted links to cited works are just other opinions on the Nature News.com website. That's credibility for ya!
Of course, all of the thousands of studies that show effects on specific tumor types with the use of broccoli sprouts must have been quashed by the conspiracy to keep them out of real scholarly journals.
And they have the nerve to attack physicians, men and women dedicated to the science and evidence-based medicine to solve human disease. These NatureNews.com people are dangerous. They have claims, they don't have evidence, they sell stuff through their website. Then they point their fingers at science and call it a fraud. Insert red flag here.
