hmmmm, they are. So, what is a "purely theoretical view of medicine"? Well, science is based on evidence and a theory explains evidence. What's condescending about that? It's the homeopaths with their thickheaded insistence in spite of all that's know who are to be criticized...

ah, cherry picking studies.
