How Scientific Is Modern Medicine Really?/*

excerpts:

I recently discussed this topic at length with Dana Ullman, MPH, who is

widely recognized as a prominent spokesperson for homeopathic medicine.

Dana has a phenomenal column in the Huffington Post, and as he wrote:

" Doctors today commonly assert that they practice " scientific

medicine, " and patients think that the medical treatments they receive

are " scientifically proven. " However, this ideal is a dream, not

reality, and a clever and profitable marketing ruse, not fact. " ...

As Ullman further explained:

" One of the things that have come out recently about some of the

antidepressant research is that it's amazing how many studies had

negative results but they are almost never published. Only the ones with

the positive results are published and according to the FDA, drug

companies only need to have two positive studies. They can have 18

negative studies but if you have just two positive studies, that's

enough for acceptance. That's a serious problem. "
