a poor argument, so have lots belief systems but that doesn't make them any more valid.
edit: another thought, intelligent discussions about therapies of any kind should be about evidence base, rather than traditional vs. complimentary. evidence-based analyses are rubbishing traditional medicines all the time. it also seems to be the case that there is very little good evidence for complimentary medicines. there may be numeous reasons for this, for example, there may be little funding (i.e. drug company money) available for clinical trials into complimentary medicines. however, to be believe in something for which there is no good evidence isn't keeping an open mind, it's stupidity.
sorry scuby looby, i know we're going off on a bit of a tangent.
