Moderation on PDF: Alternatives to the Darwinian Edge III

Things are finally starting to clear up on the fringes of science.

Two absolute troublemakers have been sidelined, so the atmosphere feels much lighter now.

Kudos to the moderator.

THANKS 👍

Quick question for the future regarding reporting weird posts—should I use the little triangle icon on the left, or just drop links to the problematic behavior right here in this thread?

neoneagle93 said:Just thinking ahead here—when it comes to reporting those totally bizarre posts, should we be using that little triangle icon on the left, or is it better to just drop links to the problematic behavior right here in this thread?

You could also just shoot a direct message to the inbox. And hey, if this thread happens to get locked before you get a chance, feel free to start a fresh one (just make sure you follow the guidelines in the site rules PDF).

I have to admit, following that whole mess regarding the IRS was incredibly entertaining. Sure, I might have gone a bit overboard a few times, but honestly, the whole situation felt completely lopsided due to the lack of moderation. I had about eight or nine different users backed into a corner with actual logic—if they want to troll and play dumb, fine, I can outmaneuver them four times over.
I’m slightly disappointed the thread got shut down, though, because I still have plenty of scientific evidence left—stuff I found on YouTube that makes those globe-believers sound like they're just venting out of pure jealousy😂—which would have allowed me to finally bury the globe once and for all.
Then again, maybe closing it wasn't such a bad idea; you can't just debate forever without the whole thing devolving into some endless, ideological philosophical shouting match.
Besides, the globe is already RIP

Since Peter Peterson brought up the whole Flat Earth theory, I noticed something rather curious— on this message board, there have already been several threads regarding Flat Earth that were shut down...

It really makes me wonder—what's the deal?
Was there some kind of violation of the site's terms of service, or perhaps even the laws of the United States, that applied to every single one of those topics?

Ethan Barrett22 said:Since Peter Peterson is already bringing up Flat Earth—there’s actually something pretty interesting going on— on this message board, there have already been several threads about Flat Earth locked down...

I gotta wonder—why though?
Were they actually breaking the site rules or even the laws of the US in all those specific threads?

Honestly, it’s just an unwritten rule—or more like a habit—for admins on different forums when they’re short on active mods, or maybe just dealing with lazy ones... or even just mods who are way too busy to deal with immature users.

By just locking down the problematic threads or the ones where everyone’s getting heated, it means fewer mods have to work, and hey—everyone lives happily ever after!

Hey, I’m putting out a huge request for any active supermods or the admin team—could someone please step in and set up at least one organized thread on the unmoderated Alternative board regarding "cancer treatment"? Right now, the trolls are running wild, and honestly, it’s more than just breaking forum rules—it feels downright cruel to watch them mock people who are suffering.

It happens all too often—people dealing with terminal illnesses, or their loved ones, are searching for even a tiny shred of hope, only to hit this massive, cold wall of troll comments that completely bury the actual helpful advice about cancer treatment.

I know rustydrifter10 isn't around right now, but surely someone else has been handed the baton in the meantime...

Maybe gargamels could jump in to help out temporarily since she was already moderating that PDF?🤷

PS: Or, here's an idea—maybe open a new thread with the exact same title, but mark it specifically for sharing advice *only*, with no comments allowed. Then, create a separate thread just for discussing that info. Once a new mod is assigned to the PDF, they could clean up the old thread and merge it with the new one.
That way, the original thread stays clean and easy to read for anyone looking for alternative cancer treatment options.

By doing it this way, people seeking help can actually find what they need without the noise, trolls get their own little sandbox to play in, and the skeptics or critics have their own specific place to voice their opposition to alternative methods.

Gregory Ramirez2 said:I’d like to make a sincere request to any active supermoderators or members of the administration: could we please get some actual order imposed on that completely unmoderated Alternative board? Specifically, the thread regarding cancer treatment has become an absolute disaster zone filled with inhuman trolling. It isn't just a blatant violation of the forum rules and subforum guidelines; it feels like people are genuinely reveling in the suffering of others.

It seems to be a recurring tragedy that when people facing terminal illnesses—or those standing by their side—reach out for a final glimmer of hope, they run straight into a cold, impenetrable wall of internet trolls. It’s disheartening to see someone searching for genuine advice on cancer treatment only to be met with such blatant hostility.

It’s honestly a relief that someone decided to bring this topic back up for discussion again. 👍
To be perfectly honest, everything Gregory Ramirez2 wrote was... That’s the truth.
It seems like there are a few recurring characters—though one particular individual really stands out—who seem to be constantly obstructing everything, and I don't just mean the actual topic at hand. Cancer treatment. I believe there are actually several other threads on this same subforum that dive into alternative cancer treatment methods as well.
It feels like we’ve hit a point where people are just trolling and intentionally derailing the conversation. It’s been accompanied by a steady stream of insults from those who simply can't handle a differing opinion.It’s been going on for quite some time now, honestly. It feels especially glaring lately since there hasn't been any real moderation on the alternative boards, which has basically allowed certain individuals to just run wild and take over.

Just to give you a few examples of how people have been trolling and derailing the cancer treatment thread—it’s becoming pretty obvious at this point. Without a single shred of actual evidence. It seems like they have this habit of downplaying absolutely every single treatment method someone suggests, even when those suggestions are made with the best intentions to actually help people.
I suppose I should probably address what Elizabeth Jackson mentioned earlier regarding the current state of things. It feels like we are constantly circling the same drain, doesn't it? There is this persistent sense that despite all our efforts to modernize and streamline, we are still tripping over the same old hurdles that have plagued us for decades. I was thinking about the implications of the recent discussions on tax policy—specifically how the IRS handles these specific types of filings. It’s easy to get caught up in the minutiae, but when you step back, you realize the systemic friction is actually quite significant. It isn't just a matter of paperwork; it's about how much trust remains between the citizen and the state. I guess one could argue that the lack of transparency is a feature rather than a bug, though that’s a rather cynical way to look at it. Regarding the legal side of things, looking at the Penal Code here in the US, there seems to be an increasing tendency toward overreach. I mean, I don't want to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but the way certain regulations are being interpreted lately feels almost arbitrary at times. It makes you wonder where the line is actually drawn. Maybe gargamels will eventually show up to fix everything, but I wouldn't hold my breath. In the meantime, I think we just have to keep navigating this mess with whatever sense of pragmatism we have left. It’s a bit exhausting, if I’m being honest, but I suppose that's just the reality of living through these cycles.
I’ve been following this thread for a while now, and I have to say, some of the arguments being thrown around here are quite interesting, if a bit misguided. I was reading through what Elizabeth Jackson had to say earlier, and while I see where she might be coming from, I think she’s overlooking a few key nuances regarding how our tax system actually functions under the IRS. It isn't always as black and white as people want to believe. I guess what I’m trying to get at is that when we talk about legal frameworks and the Penal Code, we shouldn't just jump to conclusions without looking at the broader context of how these laws are applied in practice. It’s easy to get caught up in the rhetoric, but the reality is often much more complicated. Perhaps we should take a step back and look at the actual data before making such sweeping statements. Anyway, I’ll be interested to see how this discussion evolves. It feels like we’re just scratching the surface of a much larger issue here.
I suppose there’s a certain logic to how things unfold, though I can’t say it feels particularly fair. Looking at the way the legal system operates here, it seems like we're constantly dancing around the edges of what's actually just. If you look at the Penal Code, everything is so incredibly rigid, yet somehow, when it comes to actual enforcement, things feel remarkably fluid—almost unpredictable. It makes you wonder if the rules are even designed to be followed, or if they're just there to provide a veneer of order while the real decisions happen behind closed doors. I was reading some thoughts from Elizabeth Jackson earlier, and she made an interesting point about the systemic nature of these issues. It isn't just a series of isolated incidents; it's baked into the framework itself. I guess that's why people get so frustrated. You try to play by the book, you follow the guidelines set by the IRS, you do everything "right," and yet you still find yourself stuck in the middle of some bureaucratic nightmare that feels entirely avoidable. Maybe we're all just being a bit too optimistic about the idea of institutional integrity. I mean, I want to believe that the systems meant to protect us actually function as intended, but then you see the cracks. It’s like trying to build something solid on shifting sand. You can have the best intentions and the most meticulous planning, but if the foundation is fundamentally flawed, you're always going to be dealing with instability. It’s a bit disheartening, I suppose, but perhaps that’s just the reality of how large-scale organizations operate in this country.
I’ve been thinking quite a bit about how we approach this, and I honestly feel like we might be missing the forest for the trees here. If you look at the way things are being handled, it seems almost as if there's a deliberate attempt to complicate what should be a relatively straightforward process. I guess I’m just being cynical, but it feels that way. When you consider the current legal framework—specifically under the federal Penal Code—there really isn't much room for interpretation if you follow the letter of the law. Yet, somehow, we always find ourselves circling back to these endless debates. It’s almost as if people are hoping for some kind of loophole that simply doesn't exist. I was reading a thread earlier where rustydrifter10 mentioned something similar regarding the tax implications, and I have to say, I think they hit the nail on the head. When you deal with the IRS, you really can't afford to be vague. One wrong move and you're looking at a headache that lasts years. Maybe I'm overthinking it, or maybe I'm just being overly cautious, but I suspect that if we actually applied the logic used in most major US cities, we wouldn't be having this conversation in the first place. There’s a certain level of administrative chaos that seems to be baked into the system, which makes me wonder if anyone is actually aiming for efficiency, or if the inefficiency itself is the goal. Anyway, that's just my two cents. I know I tend to get a bit carried away with these deep dives, but I figured it was worth mentioning.
I suppose I should probably weigh in on this, if only to offer a bit of perspective on the situation. It seems like everyone is getting quite worked up about the recent developments, but if we take a step back and look at the broader context, things might not be quite as dire as they seem. I was reading some of the points made by rustydrifter10 earlier, and while I can see where they're coming from, I think they might be overlooking a few key nuances. It’s easy to get caught up in the immediate fallout, but we have to consider how these changes will play out over the long term. In my view, the impact on our local economy—much like how a major shift in policy might affect a city like Chicago or Houston—will likely be more gradual than people are anticipating. Regarding the legal implications, there's a certain complexity to how the Penal Code applies here that I don't think has been fully addressed. It isn't just a matter of black and white; there are layers of interpretation that could lead to very different outcomes depending on how the courts decide to handle these cases. I guess you could say it's a bit of a moving target. As for the discussions regarding cancer treatment and healthcare costs, which have been popping up frequently in these threads, I find myself agreeing with much of what Elizabeth Jackson has pointed out. The rising costs are a legitimate concern for any American family, and without some sort of systemic reform, we're essentially just waiting for the next crisis to hit. Maybe gargamels is a bit too harsh a term for those who disagree, but I do feel there's a certain level of heated rhetoric that doesn't really help the conversation move forward. If we want to reach any kind of meaningful consensus, we probably need to dial back the intensity just a touch and focus on the actual data. Anyway, that's just my two cents. I'm curious to hear what others think, though I suspect we won't all see eye to eye on this one.
I suppose I should probably address the elephant in the room regarding how we handle medical expenses and tax deductions. It’s a bit of a headache, isn't it? I was reading through some of the points raised by Elizabeth Jackson earlier, and while her perspective is certainly interesting, I find myself feeling a little more skeptical about the sheer simplicity of the situation. When you look at the way the IRS handles things, there is a certain level of complexity that people often overlook. If you're looking into significant costs, like specialized cancer treatment, you can't just assume everything will be seamlessly deductible without a mountain of paperwork. I guess it really comes down to how meticulously you track every single receipt and consultation. I was also thinking about what Peter Peterson mentioned regarding the legal implications. While the federal Penal Code doesn't typically get involved in simple tax disputes unless there's actual fraud, one has to be incredibly careful. You don't want to accidentally cross the line from "aggressive accounting" into something that looks suspicious to an auditor. It’s a fine line, perhaps even thinner than most people realize. Maybe gargamels would have had better luck navigating this bureaucracy, but for the rest of us, it feels like a constant uphill battle. I mean, between managing the actual health crisis and then trying to make sense of the financial fallout, it’s enough to make anyone feel a bit overwhelmed. We aren't exactly dealing with a straightforward system here.
I suppose I should probably weigh in on this, given how much ground we’ve covered. Looking at the current situation, it feels like we’re circling the drain a bit, doesn't it? There’s a certain inevitability to these things that I find hard to ignore, even if I hate being proven right. I was reading some thoughts from Elizabeth Jackson earlier, and while her perspective is certainly spirited, I can't help but feel she might be overlooking the sheer scale of the bureaucratic hurdles we're facing. It isn't just about one single policy change; it's about the entire infrastructure of how the IRS handles these types of disputes. It’s a massive, slow-moving machine, and trying to force it to pivot overnight is, well, ambitious, to say the least. Then you have Peter Peterson, who seems convinced that a more aggressive legal approach is the only way forward. I see his point—really, I do—but I worry that leaning too heavily on the Penal Code might backfire. If we push too hard without building a solid foundation of public support, we might just end up hitting a brick wall. It’s a delicate balancing act, and frankly, I think we’re currently leaning a little too far toward the "all or nothing" side of the spectrum. Maybe I'm being overly cautious. Perhaps my tendency to hedge every opinion makes me sound less decisive than I intend to be, but I truly believe there’s a middle path here. We need to navigate the complexities of the system without getting swallowed by them. It’s easy to demand radical shifts, but the reality of American institutions is often much messier and more stubborn than our ideals suggest. Anyway, that's just my two cents. I'll be curious to see if anyone else sees a viable way through this without causing a total meltdown.
I suppose I should probably address what Elizabeth Jackson mentioned earlier, though I’m not entirely sure if we’re all looking at this from the same angle. It feels like there's a bit of a disconnect in how people are interpreting the recent shifts in policy. If you look at the way things are moving, it seems almost inevitable that the regulatory landscape is going to tighten up. I mean, I guess it isn't surprising, really. Given the current economic climate here in the States, the government—specifically the IRS—is bound to be looking for more leverage. It's just part of the cycle, I suppose. I was reading some thoughts from Peter Peterson on this, and while I don't necessarily agree with his more cynical take, he does have a point regarding the lack of transparency. It makes one wonder if these changes are actually designed to streamline things or if they're just another layer of bureaucracy meant to keep us all on our toes. Maybe we're overthinking it, or maybe we're not thinking about it enough. There's a fine line between being prepared and being paranoid, isn't there? Personally, I tend to lean toward caution, but I try not to let it cloud my judgment too much. It’s a delicate balance to strike.
I suppose I should probably address what Elizabeth Jackson mentioned earlier, though I’m not entirely sure if we're all looking at this from the same angle. It seems like there's a bit of a misunderstanding regarding how these regulations actually function on the ground here in the States. If you look at the way the IRS handles these specific filings, it isn't just a matter of following a checklist; there's a certain level of nuance that people often overlook. I guess you could say it’s less about the letter of the law and more about how the agencies interpret their own mandates. It can be quite frustrating when you realize that what seems straightforward on paper becomes a massive headache once you're actually dealing with federal oversight. I was reading a thread recently where Matthew Castillo5 was making a similar point about the complexity of the legal framework. He seemed to suggest that the current interpretation of the Penal Code might be a bit too rigid, which I can certainly see being an issue. If the rules are applied too strictly without considering the context, you end up with these bizarre outcomes that don't really serve the public interest. Maybe we're overthinking it, or maybe we're not thinking about it enough. It’s hard to say. But I do think it's worth noting that whenever we see these shifts in policy, there's usually a ripple effect that hits small businesses and individual taxpayers much harder than the big corporations. It's a bit of a mess, honestly, but I suppose that's just the nature of the beast when it comes to large-scale bureaucracy.
I suppose I should probably address what Elizabeth Jackson mentioned earlier. There’s this lingering feeling that we aren't quite looking at the full picture when it comes to how the legal system handles these specific types of cases. It feels like there's a disconnect between the letter of the law and how things actually play out on the ground. I was thinking about what Peter Peterson brought up regarding the regulatory side of things. If you look at how the IRS operates compared to some of the more specialized agencies, there’s a certain level of bureaucratic friction that seems almost designed to slow everything down. It makes me wonder if the complexity isn't just a byproduct of a large system, but perhaps an intentional feature. Maybe I’m being too cynical, but I can’t help but feel that when we talk about institutional oversight, we’re often just talking about layers of red tape meant to obscure accountability. It’s a bit like trying to navigate through a fog where the landmarks keep shifting. I guess it’s just my way of looking at it, though I realize others might see it quite differently.
I suppose there’s no sense in pretending otherwise: we are all essentially just waiting for the inevitable. It feels like we’ve been circling this drain for a while now, hasn't it? I was thinking about what Elizabeth Jackson mentioned earlier regarding the systemic shifts we're seeing, and I can't help but feel there's a certain heavy irony to the whole situation. It’s almost funny, in a dark sort of way. We spend so much time debating the minutiae of policy and local regulation, yet we seem completely blind to the larger momentum pulling us under. I mean, maybe I'm being too cynical, but looking at how the current legal frameworks are being applied—it feels less like progress and more like a slow, methodical tightening of the screws. I remember reading a piece once about how institutional inertia works, and honestly, I think that's exactly what we're witnessing here. It isn't necessarily a grand conspiracy, but rather a collection of small, seemingly insignificant decisions that, when viewed in totality, create this overwhelming sense of stagnation. Gregory Ramirez2 seems convinced that things will pivot if we just push hard enough on specific legislative fronts, but I guess I have my doubts. History doesn't usually move in straight lines, does it? It tends to meander, loop back on itself, and occasionally crash headlong into reality. Perhaps we should be looking less at the immediate friction and more at the underlying currents. Or perhaps I'm just overthinking it. It’s hard to tell sometimes.
I suppose I should probably address what Elizabeth Jackson mentioned earlier regarding the current state of our legal system. It’s a bit of a mess, isn't it? When you look at how things are being handled under the American Penal Code, there seems to be this growing disconnect between what we consider justice and how the actual mechanisms of the law are functioning on the ground. It feels like we are constantly moving the goalposts. One day, a certain action is viewed through one lens, and the next, the entire framework shifts. I guess that's just the nature of evolving legislation, but it leaves a lot of us feeling somewhat adrift. It makes you wonder if the intention behind these changes is truly to improve society, or if we are just reacting to the loudest voices in the room. Maybe we're being too cynical, but I can't help but feel that the consistency we once relied upon is thinning out. It's a complex issue, and I certainly don't claim to have all the answers, but the lack of predictability is becoming increasingly difficult to ignore. We really ought to be having more substantive discussions about the long-term implications of these shifts before they become the new, permanent reality.

...or just completely useless trolling and posts that are 100% off-topic:
I suppose I should probably clarify my position on this, though I suspect some might find my perspective a bit overly cautious. When we look at how the IRS handles these types of discrepancies, there’s a certain level of unpredictability that can be quite unsettling. It isn't just about the immediate fine; it's about the precedent being set for future audits. I was reading a thread where rustydrifter10 mentioned a similar situation involving a misunderstanding of tax filings, and honestly, it felt uncomfortably familiar. There is a fine line between a simple clerical error and what the authorities might classify as intentional evasion. If you lean too far toward the latter, you aren't just looking at a slap on the wrist—you're staring down the barrel of the federal Penal Code. That’s a heavy shadow to walk under. Gregory Ramirez2 seems to think the system is more forgiving than it actually is, which, in my experience, is a rather dangerous way to approach federal oversight. I don't mean to sound cynical, but history suggests that once the government decides to take an interest in your books, they rarely do so with a spirit of leniency. Perhaps I am being too pedantic, or maybe I'm just being overly wary of how much power these institutions hold over individual taxpayers. But I truly believe that being meticulously prepared is the only real defense we have. We shouldn't just hope for the best; we should actively work to ensure there isn't a "best" to hope for because everything is already in order.

...or just flat-out insulting the community:

So, that's really just a tiny fraction of the whole mess. I'm talking specifically about the cancer treatment thread, but I won't even get started on the others—the situation is practically identical everywhere.

If there aren't any moderators available right now, couldn't a supermoderator at least step in temporarily to handle these kinds of issues? 🤷

Because this honestly makes no sense. I don't think you'll find a single forum in the world where this kind of behavior is tolerated for more than two or three posts.
Even for much milder rule violations on other subforums (like the Science section, where people can rack up 100 points just by spreading misinformation)—those types wouldn't just be collecting warnings and bans, they would have been permanently removed ages ago. After all, they contribute absolutely nothing to the discussions; instead, they constantly obstruct them with clearly malicious comments. It’s particularly concerning and frankly quite distasteful on such sensitive topics, where people are discussing treatments for serious illnesses and looking for genuine help.

To the supermoderators: why is this specific subforum an exception? Why is everything being permitted here that would be strictly sanctioned and permanently resolved on any other part of the site?

Elizabeth Jackson said:Besides the experience I just mentioned, here is another example showing that stage 4 cancer can absolutely be cured—if treated the right way.

A woman cured her stage 4 thyroid cancer through nutrition.

Of course she turned down chemotherapy, even though those high-and-mighty doctors took it upon themselves to decide exactly how much time she had left.

She lived mostly on fresh, raw fruit—pineapple, grapefruit, kiwi, papaya, lemon, apples, bananas—and cut out all animal products entirely.

In just six months, the stage 4 cancer almost completely vanished, leaving the doctors looking about as stunned as a deer in headlights.
This isn't anything unusual or miraculous; it’s actually a totally normal occurrence [/B]when you give the body what it was naturally designed and adapted for: raw plant foods.
This is just one more case in a long line where raw vegan diets have cured cancer. 👍

Elizabeth, do you really have the nerve to comment on this after someone with actual expertise has been debunking your claims post after post?
The text is unverified from some random news site, yet you’re posting it here as if it were hard fact without checking a single thing. To make matters worse, you describe it as POSITIVE and desirable, commenting that it's perfectly fine how she rejected the prescribed medical treatment. You are practically encouraging people reading this—people who might be desperate enough to try the exact same thing and abandon their life-saving treatments just to survive—to follow suit.

Are you in your right mind, Elizabeth? I am asking you clearly, loudly, and openly, right here in front of all the moderators, super-mods, and the admin: How can you comment on something like this without any caveats, without verification, and without any actual knowledge? (Since you aren't a doctor or an oncology expert, you shouldn't be making these kinds of claims.)
You talk about helping people? You talk about obstruction? Sorry, but if this is considered obstruction, then I’m seriously inviting you to go read the U.S. Penal Code. You might be from Canada, but the laws in America are very clear about things like this.

Practicing medicine without a license
Section 184.
(1) Anyone who lacks the required professional credentials engages in medical treatment or provides other medical assistance, shall be punished by imprisonment for up to one year.

(2) If the actions described in paragraph 1 cause a significant worsening of a disease or injury to another person's health, the perpetrator shall be punished by imprisonment from six months to five years.

So go ahead, keep encouraging people to quit their treatments, you hack. 🤦🤦😵😵

Gregory Ramirez2 said:I’d love to ask any active super-mod or even someone from the admin team to please step in on the unmoderated Alternative sub-forum. Could we get at least one organized thread in the "cancer treatment" section? Right now, it feels like more than just a violation of our community guidelines—it honestly feels like people are just being cruel and feeding off others' suffering.

It happens all too often: people facing terminal illnesses, or their loved ones, go looking for a tiny glimmer of hope only to run smack into a cold, thick "wall of trolls" that buries all the actual helpful advice regarding treatment.

I know rustydrifter10 isn't around right now, but hopefully someone else has been handed the baton for a little while...

Maybe gargamels could jump in to help out temporarily, since she already handled moderating that PDF.🤷

PS: Or, maybe you could open a duplicate thread (with the exact same title) specifically marked for sharing advice *without* commentary. Then, create a separate thread for discussions. Once a new mod is assigned to the PDF section, they could moderate the existing thread and reopen it, then merge this new one back with the old one.
That way, the original thread becomes much easier to read, which would be a huge relief for everyone searching for alternative cancer treatment options.

By doing this, people looking for help will find what they need much faster, while the trolls can have their own little sandbox to play in, and those who disagree with alternative methods can have a dedicated space to express their opposition without cluttering up the helpful posts.

That "thick wall of trolls" you're talking about is actually just people trying to find a shred of common sense within your "opinions" and "advice," so please, try to maintain some boundaries where your logic allows.
They aren't attacking you; they are asking questions to verify the nonsense you've scraped from obscure, unverified websites before posting it here. Honestly, how many posts have been written where it's been scientifically proven—not just suggested, but proven—that you and Elizabeth Jackson are giving advice that is completely wrong? Are you taking these questions as personal insults because you've convinced yourselves you're some kind of messiahs who can say whatever you want?

Gregory Ramirez2 said:Just rise above it, get back to your level, and stop feeding the trolls—especially on a topic like this.
Show them your emotional maturity instead.

And this is how you handle differing opinions and people being direct with you? Who exactly do you think you are...?

You talk about helping people? You talk about obstruction? Honestly, if this counts as obstruction, then I’m seriously inviting you to go read the U.S. Penal Code. Maybe you're from Canada, but the Penal Code of the United States is very specific about these things.

So go ahead, keep encouraging people to quit their treatments, you hack. 🤦🤦😵😵

How could expressing an opinion (right or wrong) regarding cancer treatment through diet ever be classified as practicing medicine without a license?
Nobody views him (Elizabeth Jackson) as some sort of medical authority or healthcare provider. Even if they did, it would be his own fault if someone actually listened to him and stopped their treatment.

I’ll say it again: I don't agree with moderators playing judge over the accuracy of someone's opinions (or punishing users for having views they disagree with), because time and again, they've proven they aren't up to the task.

Linda Young38 said:How on earth could sharing an opinion (right or wrong!) about using diet for cancer treatment be labeled as practicing medicine without a license?
I mean, let's be real, I don't think anyone actually views him (Elizabeth Jackson) as some kind of medical authority or a healthcare provider. And even if they did, that's on them if they decide to listen and stop their actual medical treatment based on what he says.

I'll say it again: I really don't agree with moderators playing judge and jury over whether someone's opinion is "correct" (and then punishing people for having those views), because honestly, they haven't exactly proven they have the expertise to make those calls!

Look, having a specific viewpoint—whether accurate or not—about using nutrition for cancer treatment shouldn't, and doesn't need to, fall under the umbrella of quackery. But the way it was phrased, specifically saying: "if she's being treated the right way"","

really implies that

"Of course she turned down chemo, even though those big-shot doctors took it upon themselves to tell her exactly how much time she had left."

...defines the "proper" way to handle things, which leads to this conclusion:


"In just six months, that stage 4 cancer was almost entirely gone, and the doctors were left looking absolutely clueless.
This isn't some miracle; it's just a totally normal occurrence."

A phenomenon that happens in maybe 1 out of 10,000 cases.
That whole thing isn't just a suggestion about eating more fruits and veggies to help things along... 🙄🤦

Regarding that bolded part, when people are suffering from a devastating illness, they tend to grab onto any advice they can find as if it's absolute truth, especially if they hear it multiple times or see it mentioned in different places. Hiding behind the excuse of "well, they're adults and should know better" is super questionable in my book. I've already told both him and Gregory Ramirez2 that, by writing these things, they might actually be playing with people's lives...
I just can't help but feel like they either don't realize it, or they simply don't want to—or can't—see the weight of it.

Right now, we really need immediate action regarding all the trolling happening in the cancer treatment thread.

Honestly, even someone who isn't paying attention can see that we absolutely need a dedicated discussion thread specifically for cancer treatment topics.

For example, some of the other subforums have specific threads just for commenting on user photos—where in the photo threads commenting is actually banned and penalized—yet this topic, which is literally life-changing for so many people, has turned into a total dumping ground where people just "throw" whatever they want in there instead of sticking strictly to sharing advice and info about treatment.

The current thread should be strictly for sharing treatment advice, while the newly opened one can be for the actual debates—you know, let everyone argue to their heart's content over there without hurting those who are actually looking for help with their treatment.

That way, nobody loses their right to share or ask for specific treatment advice and info, nor their right to comment on it.

It’s a win-win for everyone!

Gregory Ramirez2 said:Right now, things are looking like... I’m looking for some help! Oh my goodness, guys, I am in a total panic right now! This is an absolute emergency! I’ve gotta say, I really feel like we need to step in here! It feels like things are heading in a direction that just doesn't make sense, and if someone doesn't jump in to course-correct, we might be looking at a total mess. I'm probably overthinking this—I tend to get a little carried away sometimes—but I truly believe a bit of outside intervention is exactly what's needed right now to get everything back on track! I honestly have to say, I’m feeling a little bit exhausted by the constant trolling we're seeing in that thread about cancer treatments. It’s one thing to have a heated debate about science or medical opinions, but when people start derailing serious discussions with pure malice or nonsense, it just gets old fast. It’s actually pretty disheartening! We’re talking about life-altering stuff here—topics that affect real families across America—and instead of having meaningful conversations, some folks just seem to enjoy stirring the pot for the sake of chaos. It feels like every time a serious topic pops up, there’s always someone lurking in the shadows just waiting to throw a wrench in the works. I know, I know, I’m probably being a bit too sensitive or "too much" about it, but I just can't help it! I really want this community to be a place where we can actually learn from one another without having to dodge insults or blatant misinformation every five seconds. Let's try to keep it classy, guys. We can disagree without being completely obnoxious about it!

Hey everyone! Let’s use this thread as our go-to spot for sharing treatment advice and helpful tips. Feel free to jump in! I’ve just opened up a new discussion thread regarding this topic! Please, feel free to go at it—debate away, argue your points, and let the back-and-forth happen as much as you like. All I ask is that we keep it respectful and don't direct any of that heat toward the people who are out there genuinely searching for help with their medical treatments. Let's keep the debate lively, but let's keep it kind to those in need!

Please, I am begging you—stop taking medical advice from those sketchy, bottom-of-the-barrel websites that claim "one in 35,000 people" were miraculously cured. Honestly, anyone with even a tiny shred of common sense can debunk those claims in about three sentences! It’s just not how science works. Carrots aren't going to cure sarcoma, baking soda isn't a fix for breast cancer, and eating piles of beets isn't going to touch lung cancer, no matter how many truckloads of them you consume. Let's please stick to actual medicine!

What is even going on with you, Benny? Is this because you aren't "moderating" the thread exactly how you want it anymore? Are you upset that things aren't following your specific vision of how the whole discussion should look? Is it because now it just looks like a tiny little clique of yours is running the show? Whatever you're in the mood for! I'm totally game. Just let me know what's on your mind, and we can get the ball rolling! Is it actually okay to just jump in and start questioning someone's claims without them even asking for my input first? I mean, can we really just go around challenging what people say out of the blue like that?
So, are you seriously calling for everyone who asks a question to be kicked off the thread? Look, I already told you—you’re not Messi, and you’re definitely not some untouchable expert. Sure, you might pick up a few things here and there, but the way you present them is just totally off. And honestly, why the aggression? You’re being so rude, insulting people and basically calling for a digital mob mentality. Maybe take a second to look in the mirror and ask yourself what your actual problem is...

Whenever someone rolls out some miraculous testimony about "healing themselves" through nothing more than a clean diet—honestly, it’s enough to make you roll your eyes—it feels exactly like one of those Monty Python sketches. You know the ones. It’s that absurd, over-the-top theatricality where people act like a handful of kale and some organic blueberries are some kind of divine intervention, while actual medical professionals just stand there watching the madness unfold. It's pure farce.

You already know exactly what kind of "scientific response" they’re going to serve up—if you tried to predict their five-sentence rebuttal, you’d probably end up being off by maybe five words.

"It’s just coming from those trashy tabloid sites," they say. Or, "You're just trying to obstruct actual medicine." Give me a break.
It’s almost as if you expect search results to only be valid if they originate from some massive domain like "megacorporation.com."

Of course, their goal isn’t to actually cure cancer—because if they did that, the "economic math" just wouldn't add up. A disease that funds private jets and superyachts for these outdated megalomaniacs is nothing short of a gold mine for them. They do everything in their power to ensure cancer rates continue to climb; after all, that's exactly why we've seen such a massive spike over the last few decades. We've already reached a point where we're consuming GMOs without a second thought, and honestly? Give it another twenty years and we'll probably be eating petroleum derivatives disguised as food.

It’s honestly pathetic how easily people fold for a handful of pocket change. It seems like everyone has a price these days—a tiny, insignificant amount—and they'll trade away their principles just to get it.

The moderation team really needs to step up and put an end to this relentless, baseless trolling—it’s completely unargumentative and frankly, exhausting.

Peter Peterson said:When someone presents a testimonial about how they managed to Cure themselves through healthy eating, the reaction from those die-hard chemotherapy enthusiasts is pretty much identical to what Brenda Gonzalez12 does.
...
Obviously, their goal isn't to actually solve the cancer problem, because if they did, the "economic math" wouldn't work out. A disease that fuels the purchase of luxury yachts and private jets is basically a gold mine for those outdated megalomaniacs. They do everything in their power to ensure cancer rates keep climbing—which explains why it’s been rising steadily over the decades. We’ve already reached a point where we consume GMOs without a second thought; in twenty years, we’ll probably be eating petroleum derivatives disguised as food.

So many people sell out for a relatively small price.

And honestly, the moderators really ought to put an end to this obnoxious, baseless trolling.

No worries at all, Peter Peterson! Why don't you help satisfy my "curiosity" then, just so it doesn't look like I'm relying on some "opus of passionate chemotherapy enthusiasts"?

Answer me these:
Does carrots cure sarcoma?
Does baking soda cure breast cancer?
Does beets cure lung cancer?

Name one plant, supplement, or substance that cures carcinoma with absolute certainty. Which one? What percentage? In what timeframe? And with what success rate?

After that, tell me exactly how many people have been COMPLETELY cured (with confirmed medical results) using Alternative methods, radiation, or chemotherapy, and what is the actual percentage of recovery? If it's such a miracle, the internet is overflowing with testimonials—finding a number shouldn't be hard.
Don't give me vague answers like "many," "a lot," "so many," or "several." I want the exact number of CURED individuals, backed by verified medical findings.

Let's see how "alternative" options actually hold up in the real world.
No faith, no lucky charms, and no wizards. Just concrete numbers.

No faith, no talismans, no wizards. Just concrete numbers.

🍿☕

No single ingredient works on its own; rather, through a healthy diet, you change the body's composition back to what it's supposed to be—healthy, free from unnatural elements and toxins that feed cancer cells—so the body just heals itself. You see miracles happen without any technology, without Star Trek nanobots, or any of those other "super-cures" found in conventional medicine.

By the way, stay on topic; this is a serious discussion, so save the trolling for somewhere else.

That’s exactly where the whole Alternative movement trips up. What you’re calling "trolling tactics" is actually just my way of looking at things—I’m looking for evidence, for hard data. But there isn't any. There are zero facts and zero real arguments.
There’s nothing on alternative medicine, nothing on the FDA...

And you won't find any exact data points. Talking about these isolated "miracle cures" from some random part of the world, or mentioning "some people" here and there, while in America hundreds and thousands are dying... honestly, it's painful to even read. Not because I don't think shifting perspectives can help, but because it feels like some people just want to dismiss every single effort and success our doctors achieve. They try to nudge people away from proven medical procedures and swap them out for something else—something that even the people supporting this alternative approach can't even name!

The question was incredibly direct and specific:
does eating carrots cure sarcoma?
does baking soda cure breast cancer?
does beet juice cure lung cancer?

The response was so vague it was almost like an answer wasn't even given. But look, it's not your fault; it's a flaw in the mindset. People are speaking authoritatively about things they haven't researched and don't actually KNOW are true.

Because of that—and regarding the moderation side of things—I am strictly against moderating topics unless they fall outside the actual forum rules. I’d also suggest that the alternative crowd cleans up their own act by weeding out the vague ramblings and those mindless YouTube-link posters who are actually hurting their own cause. Someone really needs to tell them that what they’re doing just isn't working. ☕

And the trolling just keeps going, along with all this off-topic nonsense cluttering up the alternative threads about the Titanic and the pyramids...
Does anyone actually plan on doing something about this?

Ethan Brooks59 said:Elizabeth Jackson, I find it somewhat bold of you to chime in here, especially when you’re choosing to critique someone who—if I’m being honest—has been consistently using actual expertise to dismantle your arguments, post after post.

Na On what grounds? You’re claiming that... Someone Does anyone here actually possess any specialized expertise? 🤷

Ethan Brooks59 said:The text hasn't been fact-checked yet. From the staff at the news portal.

Who exactly would be tasked with this, and what kind of framework are we even looking at here? I mean, on what basis, under which specific criteria, and by what methods should this supposed investigation be conducted?
By the way, you're overlooking one of the absolute fundamentals here. Forum Rules.

Ethan Brooks59 said:Following that, within the text, it should be framed as something POSITIVE and highly desirable. You’re suggesting that this is just par for the course, I suppose. So, she actually went ahead and turned down her doctor's prescribed treatment. Honestly, I’m a bit stunned. It feels like such a massive gamble to just brush off professional medical advice like that, especially when you consider how much we rely on these protocols to keep things from spiraling. I guess there’s always that element of personal autonomy, but when it comes to something this serious, it feels incredibly risky. Maybe she felt she knew better, or perhaps she was just overwhelmed by the whole process, but it's hard not to feel a sense of unease about the decision.

Quote me where I actually said that.

As for the rest, let’s move on to the main topic. When it comes to cancer treatment, I find that people often jump straight to the most aggressive conclusions without really weighing all the variables. It’s such a heavy, overwhelming subject, isn't it? One moment you're looking at standard protocols, and the next, you're spiraling into discussions about experimental therapies or holistic approaches. In my view, the landscape of oncology here in the States is incredibly complex. You have the massive research institutions—think Mayo Clinic or Johns Hopkins—where they are constantly pushing the envelope with immunotherapy and targeted treatments. Then, on the other hand, you have the more traditional routes like chemotherapy or radiation, which, while effective for many, certainly come with a heavy physical toll that isn't talked about enough. I suppose there isn't a one-size-fits-all answer, which is perhaps the most frustrating part of the whole ordeal. Every patient's journey seems to follow a different roadmap based on their specific diagnosis, their genetic makeup, and even how their insurance covers certain specialized drugs. Maybe it’s worth noting that while we see incredible leaps in medical technology every year, the emotional and psychological weight of navigating these decisions remains just as taxing as ever. It’s a delicate balance between following the established science and trying to maintain some semblance of quality of life throughout the process. This space is intended for discussion regarding... I suppose we could look into some alternative options. When we look at the various ways cancer is treated today, it’s clear that we’ve moved far beyond the "one size fits all" approach of previous decades. It’s a complex, often overwhelming landscape, and I suppose it can feel a bit daunting to navigate when you're first looking into it. The most traditional route, of course, remains surgery. Depending on the type and location of the tumor, surgeons might attempt to remove the entire mass, though sometimes they have to settle for a partial resection if the margins are too tight. Then there’s radiation therapy—using targeted beams of energy to destroy cancer cells—and chemotherapy, which uses systemic drugs to tackle cells that might have already begun to spread. However, what I find truly fascinating is how much the field has shifted toward precision medicine. We aren't just throwing everything at the wall anymore. Immunotherapy is a massive leap forward; instead of attacking the cancer directly, it essentially gives your own immune system a much-needed boost to recognize and fight the disease itself. There is also targeted therapy, which focuses on specific molecular changes within the cancer cells, acting almost like a key in a lock to shut down growth mechanisms without harming as many healthy cells. Of course, treatment plans are rarely just one thing. Most patients end up with a combination of these methods tailored specifically to their diagnosis. It’s a highly individualized process, and while the science is moving incredibly fast, it still feels like we are constantly learning more about how to strike the right balance between efficacy and quality of life. Any advice that might offer even a little bit of relief to those who are struggling with illness is more than welcome here. I suppose we should all look out for one another in these situations.
If you're looking to discuss conventional medical treatments, I think there's actually a separate thread and a different subforum specifically designated for that kind of talk.
And just a quick heads-up—don't let it slip your mind. I'm telling you again, just so we're on the same page. I suppose you’re looking for me to get started on this, though you haven't actually given me anything to work with yet. I'm standing by, ready to dive in whenever you've got the text prepared. Just let me know what you need. The rules.

Ethan Brooks59 said:Look, I’m sorry, but if you truly believe this constitutes obstruction, then I really am inviting you to go take a long look at the US Penal Code. You might be from Canada, but the US Penal Code is quite explicit about how these matters are handled.

The rise of quackery in modern medicine is something that I find increasingly unsettling, though perhaps I’m just being overly cautious. It seems like everywhere you look lately, there’s some new "miracle cure" or a charismatic guru claiming they’ve unlocked a secret to health that the entire medical establishment is supposedly hiding from us. It’s a bit of a slippery slope, isn't it? On one hand, you have legitimate scientific inquiry, and on the other, you have these predatory charlatans who exploit people at their most vulnerable. I guess it’s easy to see why people fall for it—when you're dealing with chronic pain or a frightening diagnosis, the promise of a quick, natural fix sounds much more comforting than a clinical lecture about managing symptoms. But that’s exactly where the danger lies. These practitioners often operate in this gray area, dancing right on the edge of violating the US Penal Code regarding fraud, yet they manage to skirt around the regulations by using vague, non-medical language. They aren't technically "treating" a disease; they are merely "balancing energies" or "optimizing wellness." It’s a clever, albeit deeply cynical, way to bypass accountability. I suspect we’ll see this trend continue to grow. As trust in large institutions like the Mayo Clinic or Johns Hopkins fluctuates, people naturally drift toward these fringe alternatives. I don't mean to sound cynical, but without much oversight, it feels like we're leaving the door wide open for anyone with a convincing website and a handful of placebo pills to call themselves an expert. It’s a messy situation, and frankly, a little bit heartbreaking to watch.
I suppose we should probably take a closer look at Article 184. It’s one of those sections that seems straightforward enough on the surface, but once you actually start digging into the implications, things get a bit more complicated, don't they? I guess there's a certain nuance to how it's applied under the US Penal Code that people often overlook.
Who else is... I suppose there’s a certain level of frustration that comes when someone tries to navigate a professional landscape without having the required credentials under their belt. It’s one of those situations where, despite whatever talent or grit a person might possess, they simply don't meet the formal standards set by the industry or the legal requirements laid out in the US Penal Code. I guess you could say they're essentially operating outside the established rules of the game. Anyone engaging in medical treatment or providing other forms of healthcare without the proper credentials could face up to a year in prison under the US Penal Code.

If someone’s actions under the first part of this section lead to a significant decline in another person's health or cause them serious bodily injury, the perpetrator faces prison time ranging from six months up to five years under the US Penal Code.

It seems I’ve become a bit of an obsession for you, as you’ve spent quite some time trying to orchestrate this little lynching attempt that, frankly, isn't going to achieve anything at all.
So, I'll keep this brief since it isn't worth much more than that:
1. You have no idea what my professional background is.
I don't practice medicine—I've never claimed to, and I could easily prove that.
I don't provide medical assistance; again, I've never asserted that, and proving it would be simple enough.
Therefore, any kind of legal retribution you're dreaming up is purely fictional. 🙂
2. Since I am not committing the acts mentioned in point one, point two doesn't even apply to me.

Monty said:
Well, just keep encouraging people to stop their treatment then, buddy.

Encouraging?
Hello, Monty?
Encouraging?
Didn't you just claim a moment ago that I actually do engage in and provide it? 🤦
Do you even understand the nuances of the English language and the distinction between those two things???

Monty said:
The "thick wall of trolls" you're referring to consists of people searching your tiny minds and "advice" for even a grain of wisdom, just so you might finally respect boundaries where your reason dictates.

Try being at least a little decent and show some respect for differing opinions.
I’ve already pointed out this forum rule to you.
Just accept it; it would make your life a lot easier.

Monty said:
How many posts have been written so far where it has been scientifically proven—not just that you're right, but that you are advising the complete opposite and are wrong—for you and Elizabeth Jackson?

0.

By the way, Monty, there is a separate thread regarding cancer treatment elsewhere, so feel free to state your case there. There are also threads on alternative versus conventional treatments, so you can write about whatever interests you there. 🙂
I have no intention of engaging in further debates because I have said everything I need to say; I'd essentially just be repeating myself.
There are forum rules; stick to them and you'll live happily. And please, spare me this cheap attempt at a character assassination; you won't achieve anything, and deep down, I think you know that.😘

Ethan Brooks59 said:Please respond to the following:
Does carrot really cure sarcoma?
Can baking soda actually treat breast cancer?
Is beetroot a cure for lung cancer?

Ethan Barrett22 said:Hey there! I'm just jumping in to say hello! On what grounds? You’re actually claiming that! Honestly, I can't quite believe you'd say that! Hey there! It looks like someone just dropped by to say hello, or maybe they're just lurking in the shadows waiting for the right moment to jump into the conversation! Honestly, I can never tell if it's a friendly wave or just someone passing through, but either way, it’s always nice to see a new face around here. I'm usually the one rambling on about something random, so feel free to break the ice whenever you're ready! Hey everyone! I just wanted to jump in here and say hi! I've been thinking about everything we've been discussing lately, and I honestly can't wait to dive deeper into these topics with all of you. It’s always such a blast catching up on this thread! Professional expertise.?

Since a few people in this group have already stepped up to share their expertise and even mentioned their educational backgrounds, I feel like we can actually start getting a real sense of who knows what! It’s pretty cool—we can basically gauge who the go-to experts are for specific topics and figure out just how much deep-dive knowledge everyone brings to the table in their respective fields.
Honestly, looking at how you responded to that, it feels like you’re just some self-taught armchair expert who picked up a random fact somewhere and is now passing it off as absolute, gospel truth!
And you’re still trying to hide behind the forum rules... seriously? 😵😵 If everyone actually followed the community guidelines around here, you wouldn't be seeing posts like this anymore! Just because this site puts a disclaimer up doesn't give Elizabeth Jackson a free pass to claim that eating literal garbage is going to cure people. The whole point of the disclaimer is just to remind everyone that what's being said isn't verified fact. It’s basically a way for the site to say, "Hey, don't blame us if someone follows Elizabeth Jackson's ridiculous nonsense and ends up in the hospital." We can't have people blaming the platform when someone takes such dangerous advice to heart!

Ethan Barrett22 said:So, who exactly is supposed to be looking into this? I mean, what kind of criteria are we talking about here, and what specific methods should they actually be using to run the check? It feels like we need a really clear roadmap for this!

Honestly, there’s really no need for that. Most of those news sites are just total garbage anyway—nothing but mindless nonsense and clickbait that you somehow pass off as absolute truth to everyone here. And then you have the nerve to lecture us about people making fun of someone's health? Talk about cynical!

Ethan Barrett22 said:Wait, hold on a second! Where exactly did I say that? Remind me, because my memory isn't quite what it used to be!

Look, I’ve already laid it all out for you twice now! Seriously, just do me a huge favor and scroll up a little bit—it's all right there in the previous posts. Give it a quick read!

Quote : Abraham Lincoln

Ethan Barrett22 said:As for everything else, let's keep this thread focused strictly on discussing cancer treatment! I’ve been thinking quite a bit lately about all those alternative options we often hear people buzzing about! You know, when you're looking for a different way to approach things rather than just sticking to the standard playbook. It's such an interesting topic because there are so many ways to pivot, isn't there? I sometimes struggle to make up my mind when there are so many paths to take—I can be a bit indecisive, honestly—but I find exploring these non-traditional routes so incredibly refreshing! It really makes you look at the world through a whole new lens. načinima When it comes to cancer treatment, things can get pretty overwhelming, right? It feels like you're constantly swimming through a sea of medical jargon and endless options. Honestly, I sometimes feel a little out of my depth just trying to wrap my head around all the latest breakthroughs! But hey, that's why we talk about this stuff—to make sense of it all together. Hey everyone! I am just so incredibly happy to have you all here. Seriously, please feel free to share any and all advice or tips that might be able to help those who are currently battling an illness. Every little bit of support counts!

Let’s clear the air on this one: we are talking about alternative ways to approach cancer treatment, plain and simple. This isn't a platform for debating those wild, "miracle" methods that claim a 1-in-10,000 success rate just so they can be shoved down everyone's throats as if they're some kind of definitive, final answer!
Look, if those methods were actually effective, we would have abandoned the ones labeled as "unreliable" or "dangerous" ages ago! Just because one person believes drinking urine will save their life doesn't mean every single person fighting cancer should follow suit. It’s the same logic—just because someone decides to do coffee enemas doesn't mean everyone else needs to join the club. And honestly, the "methods" you're pushing are exactly like that: just some "exclusive" articles read by people about one individual who claims they were cured. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of people die in America every year. If you're such a huge altruist, why aren't you standing in front of hospitals trying to save them? Please... give me a break! 👎

Ethan Barrett22 said:It seems like I've become an obsession for you, since you've spent quite a while trying to lynch my character in ways that won't yield any actual results.

To me, you're just some random person hiding behind a screen typing nonsense... which you're proving more and more every day. So, your little attempts to tear me down don't matter at all; you simply don't hold any weight in my life.

Ethan Barrett22 said:Anyway, I'll keep this brief because it isn't worth much time:
1. You have no idea if I have any medical training.
I don't practice medicine; I've never claimed that, and I can easily prove it.
I don't provide medical assistance; I've never said I do, and I can easily prove that too.
So, you can forget about ever holding me accountable. 🙂
2. Since I don't do anything mentioned in point 1, point 2 doesn't apply to me.

Regarding point 1: Unfortunately for you, I know you don't have any medical credentials.
And you admitted that yourself.

The second and third sentences are absolutely true. Within the context of this thread, you aren't practicing medicine; you're just peddling nonsense and suggesting that other people should use it as a last resort in their darkest hours. You're actually worse than the people who openly advocate for euthanasia for cancer patients—at least they're honest about it. You hide behind unverified articles and then pivot to "if they don't believe, they shouldn't use it."

Yeah, you aren't treating anyone; you're just encouraging people to listen to you and essentially walk off a cliff... all while pretending you want what's best for them.

Ethan Barrett22 said:By the way, Brenda Gonzalez12, there's a separate thread specifically for cancer treatment so go express yourself over there. There are also threads for alternative and conventional treatments, so feel free to write about whatever interests you there. 🙂

So, are you basically admitting that everything you’re posting here is just a big joke, while the actual facts are being discussed over in that other thread? You really just laid it all out there, plain and simple! Well, good to know. I guess from now on we can just move all our jokes about those guys—you know, the ones involving the whole cancer treatment thing (hey, a little optimism and good vibes never hurt anyone's recovery!)—straight over to the proper topic!

Are you absolutely sure about this? Or should I just let you sink to the bottom of the ocean on your own?
