The problem is that so much of what alternative medicine points to is quackery, even if they get the system potentially correct.

I've worked a bit in gut microbiome stuff, and a bunch of the things alt medicine advances about it still fall in the "That's not how any of this works..." realm.

Oh, absolutely. It's just that I'd rather read more interesting insight on what we do know rather than a tangential attack on how Autism and gut yeast can't be related. I guess it's similar to a lot of more controversial topics where the dialogue is often narrated by extreme viewpoints rather than the more reasonable middle ground
