If it ain't testable, then it's worthless.

There are so many fallacies in your post it's ridiculous.

Holstic systems are not testable? Says you! What exactly IS a holistic system? Is it magic or something? :eyes:

If something is claimed to HAVE a specific effect, it's a priori testable. Period. End of story. Thing "A" has effect "B" on system "C". Regardless if the system is holistic or not, if A leads to B then it's testable. End of story.

"Ayurvedic systems have been in place for thousands of years."

So what? So was blood draining before it was found out as bullshit. PPeople believed in demons for thousands of years to, some still do. :eyes:

"Almost all homeopathic concentrates are derived from natural sources."

Err, almost everything is derived from "natural sources" in some way or another. What's your point?

"You may not like conspiracy theories but soon you will not be able to buy your vitamins over the counter in the US. Maybe then you will understand what I mean."

I don't think so. Have any evidence for this claim? Your appeal to bullshit like this really makes you look like a woo woo.

"In Europe our health shops freedoms have already been severely curtailed. Accept it or not, that is your problem, not mine."

I don't know WTF your talking about. Ain't my problem. I live in the US. Actually it DOES sound like YOUR problem.

Your anecdotes are not evidence of anything, nor are the anecdotes on that website. The only thing proven, time and again to actually WORK to show efficacy, is actually testing through experimentation and clinical trials. Period. I'm sorry you find that so difficult to understand, but that too is your problem.
