oh my god, really seventh? are you even reading my posts? you're calling me a murderer for suggesting a treatment that I believe works! I'm not even saying he should drop western treatments - he should keep doing those, ye\
Hell, more than that even, I'm being threatened by him constantly bashing me into the ground with evidence or lack thereof. again, if he had even read my posts, we aren't loving arguing about evidence! we've acknowledge the lack thereof and are discussing other things!
oh and homeopathic medicine: i used that phrase and thought it meant something else. watching the video and doing quick wikipedia lookups: are you loving KIDDING ME? wow, that stuff looks stupid. in fact, it appears that these remedies are FDA regulated as Over The Counter drugs? now, those regulations are looser than perscription ones, but still, surely the FDA is wrong on this one?
1. Homeopathic medicine is not an over the counter pharmaceutical, it is just sold in pharmacies. CVS is a pharmacy and sells coca cola and candy bars. Those aren't pharmaceuticals though.
2. I'm not threatening you, I'm saying you're endangering the lives of others by advocating for treatments that have been proven not to work. I like how you're referring to the treatments as having a lack of evidence. There's significant evidence that holistic medicine cannot help anything other than pain.
3. If you're wrong about the definition of what you're telling people to do, you shouldn't have said it in the first place.

You are not a doctor and this thread is not a clinical trial or a scientific study. From what I'm reading all you're doing is saying from a stance of ignorance that alternative medicine somehow enhances modern medicine efficacy which is a completely unsupported statement to make.

I can't. I don't think that it's even been done.
Besides that, I'm not trying to provide proof, I'm providing a testimonial and making a friendly reccomendation to game about an option he might want to consider. I mean, it worked for me, I believe it'll work for him, is it not my duty as a friendly, caring human being to try to help him out?
If you genuinely believe that your own anecdotal experience can help Gamefandan, you are an idiot. Go read up on sample size, the placebo effect, and the scientific method and understand
why you are being an idiot.
Also who loving cares if it worked for you? Gamefandan fears he has a brain tumor, not an ear infection. You can't treat cancer with Robitussin.
"Hey man, I heard you got shot in the chest. I once had an ear infection and ate some plant on the forest floor and it cleared up in a few days. Here have some!"
