Dave Colquhoun of DC’s Improbable Science provides further insight into Ofquack also known as the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC).
He makes the case that Ofquack will ultimately fail. The problem with Ofquack is that it does not seem to have a rigorous method for determining the efficacy of the various treatments that fall under its umbrella.
Whether you call it “natural” or not, provided that a treatment is shown to work it becomes known as “medicine”, right? Evidence-based medicine is what we’re after, and Ofquack seems to be failing in that regard.
