Want to see living proof of how bad science education is in the US?
Just check out GD. I have NEVER seen such ignorance about cancer in my life, than here. Now its "chemotherapy kills"! All you need to do to keep cancer away is to eat and boost your immunity. All that wonderful granola ya know..That'll cure you! Fucking stupid idiot must have read something about cancer immunogenics and decided chemo/rad therapy is all a scan by Big Pharma.
I swear most of the people in GD must have never graduated HS..How could anyone get a HS degree without knowing basic biology?
Morons.:banghead:

2. Best post in the thread:
Bastards killed my mom.
She was doing fine, all things considered. With chemo and radiation, she declined quite rapidly.


Apparently having cancer is "doing fine".

6. I alerted on it three times.
I seriously have to wonder what goes on inside paranoid little minds like that. Getting a glimpse of it is scary enough. They evidently see this world of mad, crazed doctors who diagnose cancer in you, strap you down, and pump poisons into you with the intended goal of KILLING you. And, as happened on the thread, when confronted with TRUTH, they lash out and attack. They don't want truth. They want to believe in this scary, evil world they've invented.

7. Speaking of which
I think our nuclear woo friend just truly illustrated his/her stupidity..On a thread about Polio vaccines being made mandatory in Belgium I think, the first post was how nobody was gonna cure Polio cause there was no "profit" in it. I so pointed out that Polio is basically non existent where the vaccines been used like here....Shut that moron up FAST....:rofl:

4. Yes, but the " holistic practitioners" are right!
Why are you so closed-minded?

8. Oy vey
Lucky I didn't happen on that one before it was locked, I'd have blown a gasket. I see hundreds of cancer patients in the hallways weekly, and this dangerous shit is designed to specifically prey on people who are at their most vulnerable and desparate.

My exSIL just finished treatment for stomach cancer (early stage) and she was surprised at how well she felt during treatment. She felt like shit, but nothing like what was expecting based on TV and bullshit spread around. She's had 2 clear PET scans and looks great.
