Poor health is best understood as merely a symptom of deeper spiritual

Poor health is best understood as merely a symptom of deeper spiritual problems. Therefore, the only way to improve a patient's physical health is to address that patient's spiritual well-being. While this conclusion has been met with unrelenting criticism from the medical establishment, consider this: if the only way to remedy poor health is to address spiritual well-being, then other methods used by the medical establishment are useless in promoting good health.

The reasoning in the argument above is flawed because it:


(A) presupposes what it sets out to prove

(B) overlooks the possibility that some members of the medical establishment might also be practitioners of "alternative medicine"

(C) is based on premises that are inconsistent with each other

(D) bases its conclusion on an attack on the character of members of the medical establishment

(E) Relies on experts outside of their area of expertise
