Não é só a Organização Mundial de Saúde, Portugal e o extraordinário João Miguel Tavares (sempre tão céptico em relação a tudo o resto) que se deixam enganar. Também o Senado dos EUA aprovou há uns anos a medicina naturopática. Se eles soubessem...

"The reason so many people take Chinese medicine seriously, at least in part, is that it was reinvented by one of the most powerful propaganda machines of all time and then consciously marketed to a West disillusioned by its own spiritual traditions. The timing couldn’t have been better. Postmodernism was sweeping the academy, its valuable insights quickly degrading into naïve relativism. Thomas Kuhn had just published his theory of paradigm shifts and scientific revolutions, a brilliant (and controversial) analysis perennially abused by climate-change deniers and creation-scientists, who take him to have said that there’s no way to distinguish kooks from Galileo. Alan Watts was introducing hippies to mind-blowing Eastern philosophy; Joseph Campbell was preaching the power of myth. Sick of Christianity and guilty about past imperialist sins, the West was ready to be healed by Mao’s sanitized version of Chinese medicine. Ultimately, however, the existence of qiacupuncture meridians, and the Triple Energizer is no more inherently plausible than that of demons, the four humors, or the healing power of God. Slate

Quem defende a homeopatia e a acupunctura é ignorante, burro, desonesto, arrogante ou irresponsável (alguns acumulam). O Bastonário da Ordem dos Médicos tem feito barulho, mas a Ordem dos Médicos pode fazer muito mais. Muito mais.
