Western vs Alternative Medicine and Holistic Healing

[icarus313]

Ridiculous! This entire speech is an appeal to an idea called "vitalism", which has been disproven dozens of times throughout history. Every attempt to discover an "energy" or "Qi" that is unique to living organisms has failed. The very theory of vitalism is also logically indefensible, because it doesn't actually explain what "Qi" is or how it works and it relies on "Begging the Question", which is a logical fallacy where the answer is reached by assuming it's already true in the premise.
