Classical Medicine vs Alternative Medicine. A draw.


”Classical” science and medicine is in a dead end with the targeted paradigm and personalized medicine and is not useful anymore in the development of new medicinal products. In order to switch the attention from this failure, adepts of the “classical” approach blame other competitive approaches that they are not scientific, pseudoscientific etc etc etc. Well, I do agree that the vast majority of these approaches (90 or 95 or even 99%!) is bogus, no doubts about it! But WHY people constantly seek alternative approaches for treatment? The answer is soberly simple: because the “classical” medicine DOES NOT PROVIDE cures which is supposed to do. A classical doctor cannot just say: “Our modern monoclonal antibody cannot cure your breast cancer therefore you have to die – AND DO NOT GO TO OTHER DOCTORS, game is over”. If the doctor cannot help with classical approach – (s)he cannot exclude the possibility that other “non-classical” modes of treatment will be helpful! But the desire to exclude competitors is extremely huge! One of the nice examples is here: the author tries very desperately to deconstruct alternative medicine. I would just recommend to the author: forget homeopathy, diet science, urinotherapy etc and just find something which will cure cancer, - and believe me: everybody will forget this bogus alternative medicine and will build a monument to you!
