...or rather, Senator Harkin is not happy that the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine isn't proving that quack medical treaments are working (http://majikthise.typepad.com/majikthise_/2009/02/sen-harkin-national-center-for-alternative-medicine-disproves-too-much-alternative-medicine.html):
Sen. Tom Harkin, the proud father of the National Center for Complimentary and Alternative Medicine, told a Senate hearing on Thursday that NCCAM had disappointed him by disproving too many alternative therapies.
"One of the purposes of this center was to investigate and validate alternative approaches. Quite frankly, I must say publicly that it has fallen short," Harkin said.
The senator went on to lament that, since its inception in 1998, the focus of NCCAM has been "disproving things rather than seeking out and approving things."
So big, bad science shows that crystal worship and magic herbs can't cure diseases, but rather than admitting he's wrong what does he do?
He whines... like a little girl...:v:
