      A good primary care doc is "holistic" and "integrative." I reject the notion that you have to embrace pseudoscience like naturopathy, reiki, homeopathy, and acupuncture in order to be "holistic" and "integrative."https://twitter.com/AuroraCarlson/status/1183791759563907084 …

      Mr. Gorski, you don't represent science, you represent naïve realism. Luckily, intelligent people are not swayed by biased terms like "peddling". Medicine has become integrative because young researchers are intelligent and care abt patients, not about winning some feud.

      I know you reject it. Luckily, others are interested in the research on the biofield, the Primo Vascular System and so much more. I don't think you can stop progress. I wish you well.

      A nice first step would be to actually prove the mere existence of a "primo vascular system". But at the moment, the PVS concept isn't even plausible in itself.

      "Primo vascular system"? No there's a new one on me.

      Oh, wow. The Primo vascular system is some grade-A pseudoscientific nonsense designed to justify acupuncture, as I discovered with a quick bit of Googling.https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2005290113002082 …

          Bad ideas travel a long way... and no matter how often they get debunked, they always come back.

          And that you could tell after just a quick bit of googling. Remember what I said about our biases? It's worth giving it a thought...

          More witchcraft by people digging deep into your wallets to cure your money problems. So now the plan is not to prove acupuncture works (they can't) but to create a whole new field based on why they think it works. Funny I've never seen suggestions of a PVS in my microscope.

          Actually dear David (allow me to address you by your first name as you did the same), I am not trying to convince you or anyone else, nor am I expecting you to change your view. To me, this is just a chat btw different perspectives. Relax pls, everyone knows you disagree w/ me :)

          This isn't funny. I severed a primo artery once. Do you know how hard it is to get qi out of a couch?
