The
false gods of scientific medicine revealed: It's a cult, not a science.
Promoters of conventional medicine claim that all the drug marketing,
FDA approvals, surgical procedures, chemotherapy and all other treatments
are based on “hard science.” The term “science”
is invoked with hilarious frequency: Science journals, science-based
medicine, proven medical science and so on. As you might have guessed,
however, there’s surprisingly little genuine science to be found
in the common practice of conventional medicine. Rather, what passes
for “science” today is a collection of health myths, half-truths,
intellectual dishonesty, self delusion, fraudulent reporting and wishful
thinking. Take clinical trials, for example. These are supposed to
be the “gold standard” of scientific study, and yet it has
been well demonstrated that these studies almost always produce results
beneficial to the organization providing the funding.
