The fallacy of Modern Medical Science!!! The big debate in the medical world now is Science Based Medicine (SBM) vs Evidence Based Medicine (EBM) or the Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM)/Integrative Medicine (IM). While SBM alleges that EBM is pure quackery, a recent study by British Medical Journal found the following. The British Medical Journal recently undertook an general analysis of common medical treatments to determine which are supported by sufficient reliable evidence. They evaluated around 2,500 treatments, and the results were as follows: 13 percent were found to be beneficial 23 percent were likely to be beneficial Eight percent were as likely to be harmful as beneficial Six percent were unlikely to be beneficial Four percent were likely to be harmful or ineffective. This left the largest category, 46 percent, as unknown in their effectiveness. In other words, when you take your sick child to the hospital or clinic, there is only a 36 percent chance that he will receive a treatment that has been scientifically demonstrated to be either beneficial or likely to be beneficial. This is remarkably similar to the results Dr. Brian Berman found in his analysis of completed Cochrane reviews of conventional medical practices. There, 38 percent of treatments were positive and 62 percent were negative or showed no evidence of effect. IS THIS REALLY SCIENTIFIC? OR SHOULDNT WE RESORT TO EMPIRICAL FORMULAS OF OUR ANCIENT WISDOM AND ITS NEW AVTAR EBM WHERE SCIENCE FAILS? huffingtonpost/dr-larry-dossey/the-mythology-of-science_b_412475.html
