Here's one from the 1990s with Dr Richard Gordon and Karen Stollznow from Australian Skeptics.

That's a good one thanks.

The alt med spokesman did a good job fighting his corner. Rosie the dog was a bit of a sideswip tho, we can't hold alt med responsible for the slackness around Australian business registration. I mean they could equally have registered Rosie as the head of an hardware company.

I liked the editing of the level headed Mr reasonable alt med spokesman intercut with clips of the naturapath waving his hands.

Could someone tell what is the long complicated word said around 03:36?

 

[Yeah_Right]

Did you mean, "efficacious?", it simply means effective.

 

[Diabolos]

Did you mean, "efficacious?", it simply means effective.

The last time I heard that word used was about 1968, from the song Lily The Pink:

We'll drink a drink a drink
To Lily the pink a pink a pink
The saviour of the human race
For she invented medicinal compound
Most efficacious in every case

etc...
