Holistic ER: "The Bold And Natural Approach To Medical Emergencies"
Can't remember whether I've posted this -- or maybe it was another show like it. Very funny...and perfectly shows the absurdity of "alternative" medicine (as in, alternative to evidence-based):
Thanks, SD!
I know you've posted Homeopathic A&E http://www.advicegoddess.com/archives/2009/07/05/if_woowoos_ran.html which seems to be the British version of the video above.
They are both pretty good, but wow, so very similar, that I have to wonder if one is um, an homage to the other. (I think the That Mitchell and Webb version from Britain is tighter and funnier.)

Spot on.
We have a wave of young people in Israel who blew off high school, can't afford university, and turn to "career training" - unfortunately, several of these places have hit on "alternative medicine" as another source of sounds-good-but-really-worthless "careers". Then you see these folks flogging their trade as "nutrition consultants" and homeopaths.

The world is full of incredibly ignorant brainwashed people as this video shows. Nobody recommends any of these treatments for people suffering from violent injuries so it is is dishonest to represent alternative medicine in that way. Meanwhile big pharma teaches our doctors how to treat symptoms and get free trips for prescribing their expensive and dangerous drugs. There's big money in that medicine. How many people died last year from negative side effects of drugs? And how many people died from aromatherapy or any alternative medicine treatments? You are an ignorant fool and you give bad advice on health and this blog stinks…….. Rockefeller's war on health continues so go watch some adds for drugs on TV and then go tell your stupid doctor what you need.

Sounds like someone needs some Lavender. No, Jasmine!

All kidding aside, many people (many children and infants) have died from alternative medicine treatments.
Perhaps you should investigate the facts before ranting about other people being ignorant.

@Emery--spot on.
This video is absolute hogwash drivel. Nobody recommends natural medicine for a gunshot wound.
But HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS die from Big Pharma drugs. In fact, if you add together all the deaths from mainstream western medicine, including deaths from "properly prescribed" drugs, improperly prescribed drugs, drug interactions, and complications from surgery--guess what--MAINSTREAM DOCTORS are the number-one cause of death in the US!
Natural medicine by contrast is VERY safe, and is profoundly effective when administered by competent practitioners.
So, "DrCos," your projection is showing.
