After re-reading that portion of doctor's quote I posted
[quote]pure pseudoscience (naturopathy, acupuncture, homeopathy)[/quote] , I heartily agree with you that acupuncture should not have been lumped in with naturopathy or homeopathy. Of course your on point analogy to marijuana rings very true for acupuncture. Plus my prosthodontist who is all science with zero tolerance for humbug like homeopathy has had many patients whom he has referred to acupuncture in order to help with dry mouth after cancer. He said it's about 50% success rate.
Thanks for calling my attention to that, I was just taking one section out of a long article on CCAs and should have caught that "error". Acupuncture has thousands of years of proof documented back as early at 2BC while homeopathy was ginned up at the dawn of the 19th century (1796)in Germany and naturopathy made up at the dawn of the 20th century (1895)
Of course, these are indeed my personal opinions and beliefs. I only object when OCF posters decided to forego radiation or chemo or surgery for "non medical" TX. My understanding is that the most honest and caring practitioners of both naturopathy and homeopathy refuse to treat cancer patients unless they are also getting real medical TX also. I know my chiropractor was quite adamant that anybody who told me not to get radiation or chemo but rely upon their "medicine" was a complete fraud and dangerous.
Thanks for your courteous correction
