(2,150 posts)against ALL alternative medicine. Fuck, he even froths at the pen writing about acupuncture in his column at the Guardian. Anyone who has had acupuncture by someone who knows what he/she is doing, knows it is a wonderful therapy... (old chinese people are the best practitioners because they study for decades in the traditional methods).
Edzard Ernst is known as a chem/pharm shill.
He was cited for unethical behavior and retired from his university post two years early.Prince Charles of Britain accused him of having violated ethical standards in a collaboration with him about alternative medicine.
This discussion reminds me a lot of the poor bastard who was put in an insane asylum for asserting that it was necessary to wash hands at every opportunity in medical facilities and before surgeries because of contamination problems? Well, nobody at the time could see germs, so they thought the guy was nuts. Poor Ignav Semmelweis, the physician from Hungary. He was laughed at and locked up in an prison insane asylum in the 1800s. He was beaten to death by asylum guards fourteen days after he was committed.
His premise was only accepted many years later when Louis Pasteur confirmed the germ theory.
So go ahead Ocelot and take your toxic pills if they make you happy. Ignore quantum physics and homeopathy.
