Science is a method for eliminating alternative hypotheses through empirical testing. It is no guarantee and mostly plays odds. However, anecdotal evidence is entirely rejected, because it all too often leads to false positives. > > Chuck, plenty of drugs that have been used for years suddenly get > recalled, for example in 2003 any medication containing > PHENYLPROPANOLAMINE were taken of the market.... As I said, many drugs are pulled off the market because of undetected side effects, but not because they prove ineffective after proper tests have shown them to be effective. Every one of your examples was pulled due to side effects, not due to a suddenly discovered lack of potency. Evidently, " scientific " is not the only word that is meaningless to you.
