2005:
The late, great Jef Raskin noticed cultism flourishing in nursing through alternative medicine.
2007:
While in the throes of a NewAge tragedy, I tried my best to convince people - anyone - that alternative medicine is a cult. Everyone laughed at me and called me an asshole.
That same year, Panda Bear M.D. got back from Iraq, went to medical school, started blogging, and called alternative medicine a cult, also.
Not long afterwards, Panda asked if TMR would be his "sister blog," and so we are.
2008:
That boil, lying on skins behind our backs, starts to annoy Orac (which means some of the online science community were noticing) as well.
2010:
The coolest duck since Daffy, The Quackometer, stops talking funny and says it plain.
And, finally, 2013:
Edzard Ernst MD, PhD, FMedSci, FSB, FRCP, FRCPEd - the man who was actually hired to sort this "alternative" stuff out - joined our little group.
Now - that's 7 years - how long will it take for the rest of you?
