7 Common Arguments for Alternative Debunked
Alternative medicine proponents argue for their viewpoints in similar ways to religious apologists. Their arguments are just as ill-informed and irrational as any religious fundamentalist’s. So, debunking them takes little more than basic critical thinking skills and a little understanding of how drugs are researched and regulated. Naturopathy is pseudoscience, essential oils don’t work, homeopathy is a scam, the supplement industry is bogus, and the terrible arguments their proponents present are definitely no help.
The claims I debunk are as follows:
1. There are no side effects
2. I’ve experienced it and it works
3. It's been used for thousands of years
4. There’s research about it
5. Big pharma is all about money and alternative medicine isn’t
6. Pharmaceuticals are derived from plant extracts, so you might as well take the “real thing”
7. God made it so it must be the perfect medicine
