Letter: What goes around comes around

Letter: What goes around comes around

ALTHOUGH ANTHONY Daniels' article about the media and politicians' treatment of Glenn Hoddle is on the whole admirable, the overall effect was ruined by his crass lumping together of "alternative medicine" and "creationist science". The first is the product of thousands of years of observation and records of empirical data, the second, the reaction of a few dozen Victorian clerics to Darwin.

A minimum of research reveals that many of the ailments that "real" medicine has no diagnosis of or answer for, respond well to "alternative" medicine.
