Holistic Section Lately we have had an increasing number of people complaining about science and evidence-based pet recommendations on YT. The moderator says all opinions are welcome, but if one comments against holistic approaches, we are not truly welcomed to do that without a few people complaining. Just because some of us who like more proven, mainstream approaches do not run and complain about holistic remedies on YT doesn't mean we aren't just as offended as these complainers. A way to resolve this would be to have a dedicated holistic area of the forum. |
I don't think people are complaining about science based evidence, it that sometimes a person makes a comment about something they believe and people say things like "back it up with science, where's the proof of that?" Yorkietalk is more than a medical site, it's also about human beings who want to offer an opinion based on experience. My background is science, specifically experimental psychology, so I'm all about the scientific method. However, before scientists decide to do an experiment they observe their surroundings and experiments are designed upon antidotal evidence. So even scientists consider things to be important that haven't been proven yet. Remember that Holistic means "relating to or concerned with wholes or with complete systems rather than with the analysis of, treatment of, or dissection into parts." What about that could be threatening? Obviously, some charlatans will abuse the word, but not everything holistic is hogwash. Holistic medicine today, could become proven science tomorrow. |

We will not be creating a Holistic section merely bc some people do not support holistic or natural treatments. ALL types of health concerns are welcome in Health and Diet, as always. And btw, NO ONE is complaining about "science and evidence-based pet recommendations on YT" -- not a single person. The complaints are about those who try to post ANYTHING non-scientific in nature, and how they're being treated. |
Yes, we are open to any and all health opinions and discussions. Holistic discussions fit in just fine in the Health and Diet forum. |
