Because acid reflux does not have just a single cause, nor does it affect only the obese. Nor is wheat the primary contributive factor. Additionally, acid reflux can be a symptom of a larger, more serious illness. These are things that people trained in actual medicine understand. Your bullschit, hippie, drum-circle cures will get a person killed. Kids are especially at risk to you lot...

Not to mention that more often than not its caused by a physical ailment such as a hernia.

That's something no diet or medicine can "fix". Alleviate sure, but not revolve all together.

You could also stay upright for the rest of your life... that would work too. We could call it "Vertiopathy". I'll set up a school to teach it and everything. I'll make a mint!! :p

No man, you just put a brick under each leg at the head of your bed.

No heartburn problems any more.
 
And who's to say people trained in alternative medicine don't understand these things? It's very factitious to suggest that only pharmaceuticals are actual medicine. For the record that HAS gotten a lot of people killed.

There is no such thing as "alternative medicine". If it is properly tested and it works we call it...medicine. AM is just a BS description for snake oil.

No you're wrong. Alternative medicine is just medicine that falls outside the scope of conventional medicine. The classification is not based on if it works or not but on what is typically taught in medical schools. Why do you people have to keep making stuff up to support your fallacious positions?

lolol well said sir.
 
I noticed that the UK had the Royal London Homeopathic Hospital, and I always wondered back in the day if I was in a motorcycle courier crash, and I was injured... if the NHS ambulance would simply dump me off there. I'd have nightmares. " Now open wide and keep these pistules under your tongue...It'll stop the bleeding ":wtf::o

I see they've changed their name now to Royal London Hospital for Integrated Medicine and I see Trauma is no longer treated. :D

LOL yea the term "Integrative Medicine" sounds more legit. Wikipedia defines it as "the combination of the practices and methods of alternative medicine with evidence-based medicine". Man one knows one is sifting through a realm with low credibility when the opposite side of the coin from where one is is termed "evidence-based". :p

Besides I imagine if you tried to treat a real trauma case with [-]water[/-] magical homoeopathy juice, you'd end up with some serious malpractice suits.

If homeopathy is good enough for Queen Elizabeth and my uncle, whose arthritis was 90% cured by a homeopathic physician, then I have no hesitation in recommending it

If you recommend things based on anecdotal evidence then I really don't care what you recommend. :p

This is how quackery like homoeopathy stays in business. Scientific inquiry has long ago determined that it is utter schit that fails not only at a fundamental level by disagreeing with all known physical chemistry, but also at an experimental level where investigations have shown that it simply doesn't work. Lets throw all that work out the window and start punting homoeopathy because an old bat in England recommends it. Yea that is a totally awesome approach totally worthy of respect. :rolleyes:

Oh while I don't take his recommendation seriously I want to point out what he is doing in case anybody else thinks his recommendation carries any weight.

Recommending something based on anecdotal accounts is really really stupid.

BS http://hpathy.com/scientific-research/research-in-homoeopathy/

Really man if your modern quackery was so effective then why are people flocking in droves to other treatments? Unfortunately for you pseudo-skeptic phonies people are looking at the real scientific evidence as well as the anecdotal, which is all your quackery has to go on as well to know which treatments work.
