- Look, this newsgroup was chartered for the purpose of discussing therapies
- that are currently not accepted by scientific medicine.
-
- Therefore, discussing whether or not therapies-that-aren't-accepted-by-
- scientific-medicine are acceptable by scientific medicine is just pointless
- here. It belongs somewhere else -- sci.skeptic, for instance.
-
- I wondered how long it would take before someone would post this
- comment here. Scientific discussion is supposed to be welcomed here, I
- have mail (and copies of articles posted to news.groups by yourself)
- assuring me that scientific criticism would be welcome and encouraged
- in misc.health.alternatives. I suggest that you should be encouraging
- posts like Schumachers.
