The Scientific Method vs. The Empirical Method

The scientific method, is like all methods of
evaluation. It based upon empirical evidence,
that is based upon the anecdotal reports of
the investigator. The report is done using a
series of controls, and hopefully replicated
prior to publication. With some luck, other
researchers will be able to duplicate the
results. This is the method chosen by the
Medical profession for evaluation of their
medications.

The great majority of treatments rendered by
the Medical profession that do not utilize
medications are not "scientifically " proven.
One of these methods of treatments is surgery.
Yes, people have been cut on, and repaired for
thousands of years all without the need for a
"scientific evaluation" and true scientific
evidence.

The natural health care professions, like Dr.
Robert O. Young do not have billions of dollars
each year to do research. They have adopted a
different method of proof that works, and has
a history of reliability that goes back millennial.

The natural health care professionals primarily
utilize anecdotal reports based upon empirical
evidence of the investigator. No controls are
generally utilized. The basis of a report to
their profession is outcome based. The investigator
utilizes a certain treatment they have developed
that has consistently delivered a specific result
in practical application. The report is published,
and other members of the profession then utilize
the method and evaluate it to it's effectiveness.
If effective, it becomes generally accepted, and
becomes part of the curriculum of their profession.

There isn't a single person alive on this planet
today, that does not owe their existence to the
healing ability of someone that utilized a non-
scientific method to heal a direct relative of
theirs somewhere in the distant past.

The scientific method has immense value, but the
costs involved in it's usage are enormous. The
problem with the scientific method is that it is
used as a selective standard. It's lack is applied
to the Natural Health Care professional as a
bludgeon in an attempt to tear them down and
destroy them. Meanwhile the wielder of the
bludgeon blithely ignores that the Medical
profession basis much of it's treatment on the
same evaluation process as the Natural Health
Care professions.

This whole argument is about limiting competition.
If the powers that be don't like the fact the Natural
Health Care profession do not utilize the scientific
method, they should fund our research adequately.

The natural health care profession provides 25% of
the health care in the US. So why not spend 25% of
the NIH budget on Natural Health Care research?

That would only be 6 Billion dollars.... a year.

In the meantime, we continue to have excellent
results using the pH Miracle Lifestyle and Diet
to help thousands of folks around the world
improve the quality and quantity of life -
regardless of the condition of health!

Bottom line people are interested in the
result not the research.
