"Alternative medicine is an area that is now beginning to attract a
reasonable amount of research. If we cast a critical eye on what emerges
from it, we are bound to be harshly disappointed. The journals of
alternative medicine are full of studies apparently showing that this or
that alternative therapy is efficacious. Yet there are several
compelling reasons to be sceptical about such findings. Much of what is
being published in this area is hardly worth the paper it is printed on,
and many of the researchers of alternative medicine are
pseudo-scientists who seem about as trustworthy as a £4 note."
How to fool the public with a clinical trial that can’t fail
Human knowledge has progressed exponentially since the dawn of modern science. It is no longer reasonable to accept claims without sufficient objective evidence. The harm from religion, alternatives to medicine, conservatism, and all other false beliefs will be exposed on this blog by reporting the findings of science. This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.
