[DIYbio] Re: Political work: DIYbio vs. "alternative 'medicine'"

"Alternative medicine has either not been proved to work, or been proved not to work. Do you know what they call 'alternative medicine' that's been proved to work? Medicine!"

I guess most of us are aware, that "alternative medicine" aka esoteric bullshit is a plague that influences many peoples lifes in a negative way and spreads a false view of chemistry, medicine, molecular biology - mostly in the name of making cash.

So how do you react when you're confronted with esoteric stuff, especially when it sells itself under the pretext of science? Is it our mission as a movement to fight against such lies actively?
Or do you think that biohackers should be passive and just focus on their stuff?
