Negative Positive
Title: Old Wine, New Bottle
Review: Criticizing a well-intentioned man who is likeable and charming, looks like Santa, and is well-intentioned, is always a thankless task. I've met too many people failed by Dr. Weil's methodology; perhaps as many as have benefited. It would be helpful if he subjected his methods to some double blind tests. Yes, orthodox medical practice has all the big bucks, and it would behoove that community to fund these tests. We all know they never will. Nevertheless, in light of the medical communitiy's failure to do so, Dr. Weil should point out that he really has little basis for making his claims. The argument that his techniques are just "good common sense" doesn't hold much water. The belief that the sun revolved around the earth was also based on good common sense, and yet it was wrong. Until, the good doctor can prove otherwise, his medicine is as much hit and miss as most other folk medicine. Old wine, new bottle.
