  1. And that (the money; the lobbies) is the big reason why we do not have an honest discussion about alternative medicines -- hey, by all means, study the stuff; if somebody finds some damn plant in the Amazon that cures some kind of cancer I'm all for it. If sticking a needle in somebody's big toe cures autism -- then stick away.
    But I want to see it studied...scientifically. I want that hypothesis put to some tests with some teeth and merit to them. I want some honest to God peer freaking review and critical analysis.

    And so far, I haven't seen it. In fact, what little study has been done has pretty much shown alternative medicine to be about as real as Bigfoot and little green space men (which if people want to search for those they can, but by all means search with some scientific integrity and so far...well...the results have not led me to believe in such things).

    Which is why I turn off my hearing aid when people start trying to talk me into giving my autistic kid alternative fixes for her situation...unfortunately there's a lot of marketing out there, and it plays on parent's desperation and willingness to grasp at straws, to believe as it were.
