I think it’s healthier on a personal and societal level if we try and fail instead of quit. Worst case we learn what doesn’t work.
- stvltvs 3y agoTo clarify, accepting that no answers might be available frees up our energy to focus on what we can do rather than trying out every dubious or fraudulent claim that could do us real harm. This is coming from someone facing a life-threatening illness. I hear lots of shit advice all the time. I've chosen to separate myself from support groups that circulate dangerous ideas, and I think I'm better off.
- Sirizarry 3y agoI do hope you get better and advising against ignorant support groups spreading misinformation is good, but it’s also stupid as all hell to suggest to others that they give up. Accepting that there are no answers is the same as lying down to die. There is always an answer and even if you or I won’t find it, the group pursuit for truth is a positive thing
- stvltvs 3y agoThank you sincerely for the concern. The alternative isn't giving up. It's doing what we can with what we actually know based on science-based medicine. That might include seeking a second, third, etc. credible opinion. Unfortunately, there isn't always an answer. Countless people suffer from conditions that no one understands.
