This author regards the biomedical perspective as a belief system, which

it is. Part of this belief system is a reliance, even an insistance on

research data.

 

I'm not anti-research. Biomedical research has led to advances that has

probably saved my life a few times. What I have a problem with is the

*requirement* that something be proven with research before it is true.

To me its like JAMA is The Bible and if it isn't in there, then it isn't true.

 

Perhaps it is necessary to help determine insurance costs and other

large scale socialogical phenomena, but gosh, people do like to hang on

to their pain till some magazine tells them that they don't need to

anymore. Strange, if you ask me.

I think you are reading what you want to hear. the

author also says that biomedical science is the

normal science of this era. whether it is a belief

system is irrelevant to this point. new paradigms

only arise by challenging normal science. that is the

most essential point of his argument.
