Actually, if I had heart disease and my heart specialist was telling me I needed to do things that were scientifically unproven, I'd be arguing my head off.
The problem is that while I'm sure in time history will show that our treatments for heart disease are still rudimentary, our medical professionals are clearly on the right track when it comes to causality and treatment. When it comes to addiction, the current most popular treatment methods don't stand up to scientific/psychological scrutiny, have appalling success rates and way too often fail to address the medical facts that have been confirmed.
