A reply to skeptic’s smear attack of Feb, 1999
against Russian scientist Nicolai Levashov
«...The above refers to the alleged «Alternative Medicine Tragedy» of renowned actress, Susan Strasberg. This is a total fabrication, born
of the rigid bias and mindset of Skeptic chief Michael Shermer, who chose to ignore or suppress data from the impeccable medical records made
available to him. Michael Shermer, a history of science Ph.D., from Claremont Graduate School, is on a religious jihad against alternative
medicine in general and Nicolai Levashov in particular. He is not interested in any authentic documentation or long-range favorable outcomes of
Levashov’s work published in reputable journals and made available to him through hospital records. Why, Michael Shermer? What is your point,
other than discrediting honest and remarkable work because you don’t understand it or cannot tolerate the idea that serious, empirically based
outcomes can be achieved outside mainstream medicine? Instead of looking at the evidence, you impugn the integrity of those whose work you
don’t understand or because someone dares to come up with a new paradigm. The history of science, your chosen field, is full of examples of the
liquidation of thinkers that were ahead of their time. No one should know that better than you!..»
