Alternative health treatments (PDF)

Over on the "Support for Families Dealing with Cancer and Other Serious Illnesses II" thread, there’s this user, Don Michael, who just dropped two massive walls of text filled with such an overwhelming amount of nonsense and blatant misinformation that it actually leaves you breathless. This guy even includes his contact info alongside that classic line used by every self-proclaimed "well-meaning" healer out there: I don't ask for anything or want anything in return when I help someone; I only expect sincere gratitude. Doesn't that sentence sound suspiciously similar to the old saying, "I seek no mercy, nor would I grant it to you"?

Not long after those two posts, Eric Newman75 pops up to politely suggest that discussions like that really belong over in the alternative medicine subforum, but does anyone even bother to respond? Not a soul.

Is it possible for a site like this to finally put an end to these types of "well-meaning healers"?
The site administrators really need to draw a hard line between legitimate medical advice and this so-called alternative stuff. To me, watching people pull these kinds of scams and take money from the terminally ill feels absolutely reprehensible and disgusting.

His posts regarding health have been taken down 👍

But, I see he’s gone ahead and added a bunch of his usual nonsense and outright lies to his profile signature now

I honestly can't tell if this guy is just a dedicated troll or if he actually has some serious issues going on internally—either way, I am not feeling this at all. We're talking about incredibly serious matters here, and this kind of behavior is just unacceptable

Hello,

Thanks for flagging this. As stated clearly in our Health section guidelines, posts like the one you reported aren't permitted here. Other sections fall under different moderators and follow their own specific rules, which we don't oversee here.

The post was removed within 48 hours thanks to rustydrifter10. Given that it's vacation season and hospital shifts are ramping up—I've been on call every other day this week myself—we can't monitor the forum constantly while managing clinical duties. Please understand that we can't be online 24/7 to react instantly; my patients at the hospital take precedence over forum moderation.

Best regards,
Felix the Cat

Another "alternative" health hack, this time claiming you can kick parasites out of your system just by drinking tea 🤦

You're probably thinking of this, I guess. Honestly, this whole thread is a total mess—no structure at all, just jumping all over the place.

Eric Newman75 said:Think about it. I don't even know where to start with this. This is just ridiculous.Honestly, it feels like a total mess to me. This whole thread is all over the place—no structure, no flow, just zero logic. It’s a complete disaster.

Yeah, this thread: I can't believe I'm even seeing this kind of garbage on my feed today. Seriously, some people just have zero common sense. You see these threads popping up all the time where people act like they’ve discovered fire, but it’s actually just pure stupidity. It’s the same old story. People get worked up over nothing, making massive assumptions without checking a single fact. It’s exhausting. Honestly, I remember back when I was working at that tech startup in Austin—everyone was constantly arguing about things that didn't even matter, just to hear themselves talk. It’s a total waste of energy. And don't even get me started on the "experts" in these comments. They think because they have an internet connection, they suddenly have a PhD in everything. It’s pathetic. We need more actual logic and way less ego if we’re ever going to have a decent conversation online. Just a thought.
