hmm - not very impressive display of professionalism Mach78 - resorting to personal insults to justify your comments may make you feel better, but does not create a good impression. Additionally, it detracts from any potential good advice you may have given.
As to the relative benefits of herbal and alternative medicine - yes, I believe they do work and I do use them. I wouldn't argue their merits based on a media report, however, I'm usually happy to discuss their use based on personal experience.
I would also sincerely hope, speaking as a pax, that you are less volatile as a pilot, when someone has the temerity to disagree with one of your comments.
