Letter from the Editor

Jon examines two articles from The Economist that follow the mainstream medical line and try to brand alternative therapies as quackery. Despite their best attempts to claim otherwise, alternative therapies actually hold up quite well to scientific scrutiny...if you choose to evaluate them on their own terms. On the other hand, the articles do a much better job at pointing out the ultimate failure of science based medicine -- that it views the body as a series of independent parts rather than as an integrated whole. This newsletter will give you a much better understanding of why alternative therapies actually work. (Click here to read article...)

The May 19th issue of The Economist ran TWO stories debunking alternative medicine. First, it ran what they call a "Leader." These are the five or six most important stories of the week that get featured in a special section at the front of the magazine. In this section, the story carried a subheading that read, "Virtually all alternative medicine is bunk." And then later on in the issue, it expounded on the same theme as the main science story of the week, with the subheading, "Alternative medical treatments rarely work. But the placebo effect they induce sometimes does."

Wow!

Personally, I love The Economist, but these stories are way off base and filled with innuendo, not to mention a good bit of distortion. Shame on them! They are normally better than this. Unfortunately, their comments are highly representative of the opinions held by a vast majority of the mainstream medical community, not to mention the media at large. Therefore, they need to be addressed. So, with that in mind, let's take a look at what they said, why they said it, and why it's "mostly" a total crock.
