Alternative medicine better than physician's advice?

Researchers examined 772 relatively healthy overweight adults from England, Germany and Australia. One group were given advice from their physicians, the other were given free access to Weight-Watcher services.

After 12 months, weight loss was significantly greater in the WW group than in the physician-directed group.

The study was originally reported in Lancet 2011, Sep. 8, and summarized in Journal Watch, Sept. 22, a service for doctors! Physicians were shown that their work is sub-par? Shocking! LOL
