Seems seriously flawed to me. Why take on the easy targets when there are so many issues with modern medicine. The study brings up so many questions. Some of the cancers show no better results for medicine compared with alternative therapies. The fact that they couldn't even identify which alternative therapy patients were using is a big problem. What if they had compared an alternative therapy to some unknown medical treatment?
This needs to be done as a proper double blind study with a control group before it has any credibility.
Because it's easier to do. Like calling chronic fatigue syndrome and irritable bowel syndrome functional all in your head stress induced bullshit rather than getting off your collective asses and doing some HARD WORK to find out the real causes of this stuff!
