Abstract

As a consequence of the widespread humbug in Medicine today the number of law suits against medical outsiders causing damage to patients is visibly increasing. Quackery is unmasked by typical features common to nearly all occult sciences. In cases of failure or doing harm to patients medical outsiders have to face indictment more than scientifically treating physicians. Sometimes there is even suspicion of deliberate cheating, if not mental disorder. Legislation is urged to bring to an end this humiliating form of quackery.
