      Acupuncture, herbal supplements and chiropractic are often integrated into cancer treatment. All these are quackery because they are not backed by rigorous scientific research. These were offered to me as options when I had cancer. They are ubiquitous in cancer treatment.

      People thought antibiotics for ulcers were bogus once too. And also hand washing. Thousands died and dr who suggested it ended up in an asylum. He simply could not accept that his fellow drs would let thousands die rather than admit they were wrong or try something harmless.

      That is why each claim must be evaluated for its validity using a structured critical appraisal process. So mistakes are not made again. Provide high-quality evidence of net patient-oriented benefit and I will add it to my clinical practice.

      I understand and respect that this approach has many benefits. Yet it's also arguably the greatest contributor to over-medication and pill-for-every-ill. There has to be some answers in the middle.

      I’m not sure how an #EBM approach that I was trying to describe, only started 20 years ago and not accepted by all clinicians has become the greatest contributor to over medication and pill for every ill?

      1/ The challenge is the definition of "high quality of net patient-oriented benefit" and how practitioners apply that. To use an extreme, our friend Dr. Gorski calls all things Integrative "quackery", thus discounting many treatment options for patients.

      2/ Also, it's somewhat recognized and somewhat accepted that many patients are often non-compliant with practitioners lifestyle recommendations. When doctors have limited time with patients, it becomes easier to reach for Rx pad.

      3/ I fully accept this is a generalization that doesn't apply to all doctors.

      4/ Taking time with patients to figure out potential causes and working with them to help find solutions does not fit well with current healthcare system design and "propaganda" against very solid options that have not had as much rigor in their testing yet, compounds the issue.

      Which is why doctors refer patients to psychiatrists and therapists. Therapists have an hour, often once a week with clients. Registered dietitians, physical therapists, and other specialists are ready to help with care as well. No need to integrate quackery into medicine.

          Exactly why doctors should refer patients to qualified practitioners that have the time to spend with patients to help figure out solutions. Could help reduce over-medication and pill-for-every-ill. Agreed, no need to integrate "quackery" into medicine. That would be silly.

          On what planet are you? No offense but In the Bay Area we have very good supposed health insurance but wait times of months for certain types of drs then they take 2 minutes with you.
