CAM proponents will either argue their methods are based on legitimate natural phenomena science is currently too primative to understand, or on mysterious entities science cannot by its nature understand. Here are a couple good examples from a recent discussion elsewhere:<br /><br />"Good TCVM and homeopathy both recognize that the body is energetic in nature and that healing can occur by manipulating that energy. To my knowledge we have no way to measure that energy and therefor no way to “prove” how they work .. YET.. physics will one day catch up with homeopathy and TCVM and we will be able to identify the vital force or the chi."<br /><br />"But, as modern physics shows, it is Energy that precedes chemistry; if we want to go to the source of illness and actually cure, then we need to learn to pay more attention to Energetics, try to understand what lies behind that sick tissue manifestation. If the energy is still in disharmony, then the patient is not cured, even if the tumor is removed."Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04970397729430396977noreply@blogger.com
