Another sign that quackery trumps intellectualism? Aetiology comments:
It’s hard to argue with anecdotes like that, and people taking these types of supplements in spite of the research, rather than because of it. Ironically, of course (as Orac can tell you), many who take these alternative meds do so because of a distaste for “big pharma” or “corporate medicine,” despite the fact that alternative medicine is just as much (if not more) of a moneymaker.
