I was just reading an unrelated article about medicine. It made a good point that nothing in medicine is black and white. Everything is gray.
Are doctors and mainstream medicine infallible? No. People make mistakes, illnesses don't respond to the selected treatment, etc.
But does that mean that everyone should become a vegan, and suddenly all illness and disease will disappear? That's just as obviously absurd.
So if somebody wants to be a vegan, and they feel that it helps them - Fine. But for the most part, telling the general population that they should stop depending on medical science won't be too productive.
On the other hand, If somebody wishes to utilize mainstream medicine, and subject themselves to every test and prescription that their doctor recommends - who am I to judge? But, telling all Vegans that they are gullible nutjobs probably won't sway them.
