Truth
Perhaps in light of the last post, I should make a general comment again. I stopped posting for a long time for various unrelated reasons, but among them was the post VERITAS. Patients and doctors like think that medicine has found truth, when it has not and cannot. (Well, it can find truth, properly understood. Continue below.) So this hubris that I am writing against was summarized poetically in the name of those studies, VERITAS.
I do not doubt that many people feel better after taking shark cartilage or C/G for their joint pain. The original Mass VA study using ground up chicken cartilage had some 20 of 21 end-stage knees or hips walking out of the hospital without surgery. But if the scientific method means anything, it is capable of proving that certain interventions are not accomplishing what they claim.
Science cannot determine truth, which is a person, Jesus Christ, in whom all things cohere. But it can demonstrate the uselessness of many of our interventions.
