    David Gorski, MD, PhD Retweeted NIH Record

    Unfortunately, two decades and a couple of billion dollars layer, NCCIH has not validated a single alternative medical approach, and its negative studies have not led alt med or CAM practitioners to abandon a single treatment as ineffective.https://twitter.com/NIHRecord/status/1190301469842391040 …

        Indeed. And the noise generated by this research creates a rich field for quacks to cherry pick what they like and use it as marketing to deceive patients.

        It's quite telling that they can't even test their own treatments and deprecate ineffective treatments. It tells you all you need to know about their intentions.

        I was about to suggest pondering how much better a use of $2bn it would be to just hand it out to people in need. But now I'm thinking it would have been good even if you handed it out to people at random whether they need it or not.

        NCCIH does not license alt med practitioners or tell them how to practice. Its not in their mandate.
