As many of you may know I am not a proponent of alternative medicine
but I think many here are, so I am forwarding the press release which
I recently received for an online debate on this topic. Zee

CONVENTIONAL MEDICINE NOT ENOUGH?', and in attending the related public
event being held in central London on the evening of Wednesday 15 June 2005.

Four lead pieces have been published as part of the online debate, and
three of these experts will be speaking on the panel at the 15 June public
event:
- DR PETER FISHER, clinical director of the Royal London Homeopathic
Hospital, argues that 'for some clinical problems, conventional treatments
are not fully effective'.
http://www.spiked-online.com/articles/0000000CAB80.htm
- MARK HENDERSON, science correspondent at The Times (London), argues that
'any perceived benefit of homeopathy or reflexology arises purely from the
placebo effect or the regressive fallacy'.
http://www.spiked-online.com/articles/0000000CAB6A.htm
- CHARLES PITHER, medical director of the RealHealth Institute, argues that
'conventional medicine has forgotten the primal aspects of caring'.
http://www.spiked-online.com/articles/0000000CAB68.htm
- MICHAEL BAUM, emeritus professor of surgery at University College London,
argues that 'in the past 200 years we have learnt much about the exquisite
mechanisms of the body'.
