Now this one is going to get me in trouble.
There is such a thing as quackery. We have all heard of this, a medical practice or medicine that has no rational support, no scientific backing, but is purported to be effective. Throughout the pre-scientific age, most medicine by necessity fell within this category, and we could have expected progress within the last century in eliminated bad cures.
But we haven't. Quackery is going strong and beginning to cause serious problems in a world where we actually have progressing technology to cure and treat disease. Billions are wasted on acupuncture, homeopathy, chiropracty, and untested herbal remedies (warning: untested is the key term here. I likes my St. Johns). In my blazingly egotistical opinion, this is folly. We should be doing better than this after all this time.
I really don't care, fundamentally, or I haven't cared about the trend until I started BFR. There seems to be a stronger vein of this among this community. I am worried that BFR will come to be poisoned, or tainted, by the proper disgust people should be having for quack remedies.
Boom!
