Nutrition. Exercise. Stress management. I think these are mainstream health practices.
If you have a very serious medical condition, like cancer, and you talk to a doctor about things like taking vitamins, most of them will pooh-pooh it as if any impact it has is merely a placebo effect. Using nutrition, exercise and stress management as part of your defense in the face of something that doctors don't really know how to treat gets dismissed and attacked and basically lumped in with snake oil. In fact, you are basically doing this yourself with your wild misquotes of people here in service of some agenda that has nothing whatsoever to do with trying to comprehend anything being said here, as best I can tell.
- inopinatus 9y agoI am not surprised that you dislike that I have rebutted your remarks. Nevertheless, when I quote you, it is practically cut-and-paste. Mz, I think your comments in particular in this thread have been worthy of such strongly worded reprimand because they could lead others to attempt self-treatment and to disregard medical advice. The fact that you've done so by misrepresenting the character, motives, competence and behaviour of practitioners is something I take further umbrage at.
- Mz 9y agoWhen you misquote me and then wildly twist my meaning, with zero intent whatsoever to actually have any respect for me or understand anything I am saying, yes, you very selectively cut and paste in order to try to make it say whatever meaning you are attempting to force upon my words.
- averagewall 9y agoA relative was diagnosed with dementia and the doctor recommended all 3 of these things. I agree they are mainstream. Of course he's not going to say they'll cure it or cancer because there isn't evidence of that.
- nradov 9y agoAre there any specific vitamins which have been shown effective in treating cancer or other serious conditions? In general research into vitamin supplements hasn't shown any benefits, at least not for people with working digestive systems who eat proper balanced diets.
