T.S. Wiley is Not "Prescribing"

Submitted by debv on Sat, 01/31/2009 - 6:22am.

T.S. Wiley is a confirmed college dropout:

consulting with patients apart from and without respect to their doctors,
listening to their symptoms,
on the basis thereof telling them precisely how to dose the medications prescribed by their doctors,
and then telling them to follow up with her on the results.

And she insists with rolling eyes that she's not "prescribing".

From a Wiley Protocol support meeting.

At the heart of science is an essential tension between two seemingly contradictory attitudes — an openness to new ideas, no matter how bizarre or counterintuitive they may be, and the most ruthless skeptical scrutiny of all ideas, old and new. This is how deep truths are winnowed from deep nonsense.
—Carl Sagan
