If you were merely presenting alternative views you wouldn't be pushing your opinions so strongly. It seems as if you are setting yourself up as the new authority to be embraced.
Yet to get your authority for dissing modern medicine & cancer treatments, you quote 'experts' from 50 years ago.
I'm not sure why you can't understand that exers here are not embracing the new authorities. They just want the freedom of mind to chose medications if they want to. Some of the posters even agree with you on a qualfied basis that you have to be careful when trying some of these new medications. From the looks of it some of them have done a great deal of intelligent thinking on the subject. But they don't end up agreeing with you.
Exers seeing things all in black & white? Aren't you doing the same thing by condemning modern medicine so strongly?
