- The last time we went down this road, Robert Greenstein showed
- that he doesn't know evidence from shinola. Since this is
- sci.med, rather than the alternative medicine newsgroup which
- is now available, I will call Robert Greenstein on this and
- ask him what evidence he has that these therapies have saved
- any lives. (And yes, I have reset my bullshit detector, and
- every time I see this kind of stuff in sci.med, I will ask
- the poster the same question.)
