You are delegating the responsibility to anyone.

I see that this is useless, kind of like deprogramming a cult member. So I’m glad you’re happy with the choices you’ve made and your faith in “alternative” medicine, I hope you do well with it. So I’ll stop posting the facts, but promise if you ever get seriously ill you won’t hesitate to consult a real doctor

Much like the lawyer who represents himself having a fool for a client?

Pretty much. And if you and I won't advise ourselves, what chance does an amateur have????

Modern M.D. Oath -"A patient cured is a customer lost"

Stop eating a plant-based diet.
Pound Vitamin C daily (Sodium Ascorbate and Citric Acid).
Get out in the sun.
Get aerobic activity.

You then will have little need for a Dr or DO. Insulin resistance is the root of all evil.

Remember: An apple a day keeps the doctors in yachts and summer homes.

Modern western medicine only has two answers for what ails you: drugs and surgery. Even nutrition is not generally available in medical school.

It’s a bit narrow to think that only western medicine has all the answers.

I’d rather be cured, or prevent disease, by diet and exercise than some “approved” medicine which invariably has side effects. I have no faith in the FDA.

I know I posted that I would stop trying to educate people with the facts, but this is such low hanging fruit I can't resist. I would like to be cured by diet and exercise as well, but unfortunately that is dangerous and deadly wish. Diet and exercise have been around for thousands of years, but here are the top ten causes of death at the beginning of the last century:

Tuberculosis
Dysentery/diarrhea
Cholera
Malaria
Typhoid Fever
Pneumonia
Diphtheria
Scarlet Fever
Meningitis
Whooping Cough

The only one remaining today at #6 is pneumonia/influenza.

If you get anything on this list, please do not go to your "naturopath" or chiropractor or other snake oil salesmen---you will die. Continue your diet and exercise, but if that's all you do, you will die. Instead, put on your big boy pants, go to a real doctor, and suck down whatever pills that "big pharma" produces and live on. There's a reason why those diseases on that list are all curable and not the leading causes of mortality---and it is not "diet and exercise".

Again, I am astounded at the nonsense that has been put out there in the media and some people believe.

PS: Invariably has "side effects"???? Side effects are unwanted deleterious consequences of a drug that affects 2-5% of those taking it. We prescribe these medications for their 96% EFFECT. And so called "natural" remedies can have side effects as well.
