Good for you and your research, cheerleader! There was a time that my curious mind worked well, and I appreciate your mentation, and tenacity, immensely. (I don't need to be told to shower, and I am still up for adoption)
The old "do no harm" saw gets tired when it comes to tired, unimaginative, gutless physicians. I think that the first Hippocratic precept is "relieve suffering - where possible", or should be.
It drives me mad that "physicians" like Freedman will prescribe toxic therapies that can potentially kill, but in the end, the patient must give informed consent. It is ultimately up to us - as patients. It drives me no less mad when patients are uninformed, and give consent. Don't be desperate!
Clowns like Freedman only have the credibility that we give them.
