Yea, I mean Americans called Italian noodles "noodles" before they learned the Italian words. We already call Vietnamese noodles "pho" even though we can't pronounce it. "Noodle" is literally defined as "pasta" or "similar." It's not really an argument so much as lack of dictionary.

More research is needed to understand the effectiveness of alternative medicines such as acupuncture and herbal medicine (sometimes derived from plants and minerals found in fda approved rx drugs). Many treatments not considered “alternative” have serious adverse effects. Outcomes, not buzzwords.

Controlled studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of treatments like acupuncture for sports injuries, and that’s why, contrary to your suggestion, adoption is growing.

To measure outcomes you need to follow scientific method. But some “alternative medicines” demonstrate effectiveness under that condition. Conflating “alternative medicine” with “psuedoscience” is imprecise and misleading.

What you say is untrue. Acupuncture is gaining acceptance in many fields including sports medicine, because of proven effectiveness. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38115589/

The scientific principle is not useful here. We want to see outcomes, not theory. Many herbal medicines, another alternative, are widely recognized as effective to treat a wide range of symptoms.

It seen by more as treatment now than before, and an effective one, but it is considered “alternative,” because modern science hasn’t yet discerned why it works. I took issue with the OP conflating “alternative” with pseudoscience.

From NIH… it’s also widely used in sports medicine to speed the time to heal injuries, despite skepticism, because of outcomes.

Just because we can't measure or "see" *why* a treatment works, doesn't mean we can't observe outcomes and base it's usefulness on outcomes, not dogma.

Some "alternative medicine", such as acupuncture is proven to be effective. Integrative medicine includes treatments that produce positive outcomes. Conflating such medicine as "pseudoscience," or worse still, astrology, is not rational.

There are treatments commonly referred to as "alternative medicine" but work! There are pharmaceutical products that have proven to do more harm than good!
a rational approach would be to base usefulness of medicine on outcomes, not dogma based on a vague conception of "alternative."

Treatment for health problems should be based on outcomes. Treatments that do not produce positive outcomes should not be used. Treatments that produces positive outcomes should be used. Back surgery is based on "science" but with mixed outcomes and risk of harm. Acupuncture works with minimal risk

Okay I see, I get it it's just a joke about white ignorance (maybe to commiserate with people who aren't white like me?)... but I already did so you don't have to wait anymore! People in converse situations commiserate with a similar sense of humor.

Maybe it has more to do with the diversity of backgrounds you grew up with than your skin color?

Is there a converse to this? Living abroad in non-white countries I apparently looked like Keanu Reeves, Tom Cruise and Gerard Depardieu all at once. I don’t look at all like any of them.

I want to watch him grow and develop and now hold a static view of him! Just hope he doesn’t think he’s a mistake because of comments and I want him to be confident about the future of humanity no matter one’s gender!
