I wanted an article to list some of my grievances with “Science Based Medicine”

I’m a skeptic. I read “skeptic” blogs sometimes because many times they have valid points and I like to see a diversity of opinions. Sometimes SBM has valid points and can be a source of information, but people need to be skeptical of SBM as well.

About SBM

SBM is a cult organization that is highly dogmatic. However, much of what they write I agree with such as when they debunk stuff that is just loaded with crap.

They will take a “quack” that is completely ridiculous and debunk him. But in the process, they often throw the baby out with the bathwater since even quacks often have some truthful aspect.

True Skepticism vs Selective Skepticism

Science-Based Medicine is an organization that tries to portray itself as skeptical, but I say it’s selectively skeptical.

This is because they are not willing to entertain certain ideas and they form strong beliefs that certain treatments have no value outside of what your doctor recommends.
