Here's an interesting point, what the holistic health field knows has to be 
proved by the same methods as conventional medicine????  If a pro-conventional
person wants to state a point he simple picks up an "approved" source, quotes
it, and voila --- "TRUTH".  Yet when a holistic practitioner speaks from
experience or knowledge or simple fact he must present bonified documents.
These documents are then trashed out if they disagree with conventional
medicine as being "unapproved" or if they are then we are told "See
conventional medicine isn't all that bad".

Naturalpaths are interested in helping people, unfortunatly our experience
shows that warning people about the reality of conventional medicine is
important.  I'm sure that the pro-conventionals feel the same way.  Why then
must the conventional netters try to make the naturalpaths seem like
unintellegent fools???  If you are so interested in helping people then the
best way is to work together, and expecting us to agree with you isn't part of
the way.  If this discussion is ever to gain a foothold as being productive you
have to gain a understanding for what is going on.  Can you tell us what you
know about holistic medicine, iridology, reflexology or polarity?  I have
heard descriptions of holistic clinics given on the net by people who
obviously haven't even been to one!  Don't expect descriptions of our
knowledge to follow your format, they are different.
