Yes, the subtlety does indeed escape me. It is an alternative to
conventional medical practice and treatment. As long as you are not
relying
on it to the exclusion of what is KNOWN, I suppose it will not do any
harm.
But it is not KNOWN that it will do any good either.

Some of the supplements I take have proved their worth in clinical

trials, so they are kown to be of benefit.

Clinical trials are pretty worthless too. A double blind scientific study on
a large scale is just about the only way to prove something.

Whereas it is a given that the large the test base the move valid the
data, it is also a given that without scientifically conducted
clinical trials (which are scientifically conducted), we woudl be
without many of the benefiial drugs that we rely on today.
