It’s called, “The Triumph of New Age Medicine,” and it makes my blood boil. There’s a lot of hippy bullshit at the bottom of the page as well as some biting comments from skeptics. Some ding-dong in the comments actually suggests that doctors should not be licensed! And these people vote.
Enjoy, if you are able.

That first italicized paragraph, in between “Again and again controlled studies…” and “But now doctors admit…”, there’s a warning label missing: remove brain, encase in black box for later investigators.
What a crappy article. But then over the years The Atlantic has published a huge amount of what can only be called shit. The magazine seems to have, for example, a permanent case of pearl clutching over “political correctness” and related matters.
As for Homeopathy when I found out about the dilutions and about how this supposedly increases it effectiveness, realized that it was total BS. That people will pay large amounts for water and surgar pills is disgusting.
Of course this so called effective medicine can be drunk in large amounts with no ill effects. Funny that.
