But where on Earth do you get the idea that there is a "one size fits all" approach to health in science-based medicine? You can't know much about science-based medicine.<br /><br />The more important point, however, is: Yes, there are problems in conventional medicine. But that doesn't mean that quackery like Marvin Anderson's work. That you have trouble with your airline company when traveling doesn't mean that magic carpets would have gotten you anywhere. That doctors overprescribe drugs is not a reason to think detox therapies are anything but a scam. And Anderson's therapies are demonstrably useless, and he pushes claims that are demonstrably false. And no, there is, and should be, no room for baseless conspiracy theories and demonstrable falsehoods in conventional medicine.G.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08875360501107597863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-414946164942126209.post-59260618761387749862021-05-18T08:45:46.298-04:002021-05-18T08:45:46.298-04:00No, there's no room for Anderson in the medica...No, there's no room for Anderson in the medical professions' "one size fits all" approach to health.
