To proponents of science based medicine. Try to stop yourself and just ignore people who are proactively pushing non-medicine, either directly or under pretext of being 'open minded'. Your time is better spent spreading scientific knowledge to people who are not active promoters of non-medicine. Once you convert someone to the scientific way of thinking they very rarely come back. You can count that as a solid win against ignorance.
Those who are pushing non-medicine usually have too much invested into the argument to give it up. They either make public claims, which makes it really hard to backtrack and don't look bad. Or their livelihood literally depends on it because that is how they make their income.
Also take a look at this article/podcast. It says the same thing but in much better way. I relisten and reread it time to time to remind myself to resist the urges to fight the anti-science claims.
