How Scientific Is Modern Medicine?
By Dana Ullman, North Atlantic Books. Posted December 3, 2007.

A new book on homeopathy challenges conventional medicine, which touts
itself as scientific even though it is largely run by businessmen, not doctors.


The following is an excerpt from The Homeopathic Revolution: Why Famous
People and Cultural Heroes Choose Homeopathy, by Dana Ullman.

Conventional medicine adherents have consistently asserted that its methods
are scientifically verified, and they have ridiculed other methods that are
suggested to have therapeutic or curative effects. In fact, conventional
physicians have consistently worked to disallow competitors, even viciously
attacking those in their own profession who have questioned conventional
treatments or provided alternative modalities.

And yet, strangely enough, whatever has been in vogue in conventional medicine
in one decade has been declared ineffective, dangerous, and sometimes barbaric
in the ensuing decades. Surprisingly, despite this pattern in history,
proponents and defenders of "scientific medicine" tend to have little or no
humility, continually asserting that today's cure is truly effective.
