We're talking health technology here, and clinical results are all that count. Unless research is put to practical use it's speculative too. And you're obviously not a researcher either.
The logical fallacy of appeal to authority is only a problem when someone invokes a celebrity endorsement or other figure that has no actual expertise on a subject. If you think that your armchair opinion is on par with medical clinicians from any camp you're really delusional. Maybe you can go shill Boniva with Sally Field, but then again, I'm guessing that in the public eye you're nobody.
Before you start tossing around philosophical issues take a real University course in philosophy and stop relying on pseudoskeptical websites for your "education".
