Dear Henry and Kevin,
I agree with you, science is born out of clinical
practice and like any other experiment, if the
scientific evidence doesn't support the hypothesis,
then you simply change the hypothesis until somebody
else disproves it again.
To take a simple example, science says that wine is
good for your heart then that red wine is especially
good for your heart and recently that wine is not that
good for your heart.
Anyway, I raise my glass of wine.
Cheers,
Noemi
