Talk:Health science

are you sure you want to make the distinction between healing arts and health sciences, Everything is referred to by "ABC science" and if this is the universal way people call things,.... David Goodman Yes, David. To call traditional healing arts "health science" is an oxymoron and confuses everything, leading to articles - such as the one I edited, in which little to no real information is given.That article actually had a couple of lines dedicated to the fact that some of the disciplines that were covered were NOT " science ". Instead, "Healing Arts" and "Health Care" articles can give Chinese Traditional Medicine and other very important healing arts their due, and "Health Science" can actually cover the Allied Health Sciences which, alone, is an enormous subject. I'm just getting started on it. Regards, Nancy Sculerati MD 06:05, 2 November 2006 (CST)

I use the recently added sentence on chiropractics as an example of non-neutrality. I share NS's presumed bias that it is relatively worthless as therapy and absurd as science. I would not present it as a sole example here in the initial part of an article. Somewhere in this article there should be a relatively non-specific presentation of alternative health sciences, with reference to the good articles now being written on each. The evidence for the status should there be presented, so the reader may judge.
