Whats the future of alternative medicine?
I don’t use the term alternative medicine unless I’m answering a question because I call them, in general, sectarian systems, which are systems of medicine that are not scientific and that have ideological basis or cultural basis. They have not been proved to work or have already been proved not to work or are not likely to work. So we have sectarian systems and anomalous methods, and the future for these is that sectarian systems, I think, will eventually disappear. We’ll be left with a number of anomalous methods, things people think up and invent for themselves and then try to impose those on the public. Eventually most of them will be disproved, but they will have a following and that’s the way the world is. Different kinds of people will believe in different things.
