A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
Laymen evaluating science should scare us all.
I was raised in a family where my grandfather self-diagnosed and self-treated.
He was the layman's layman. He read voraciously.....crackpots.
If a thousand mg's of Vitamin C was "good" he'd up that ten times.
His reasoning: it is ten times the benefit!
He took handsful of vitamin capsules every day and spend thousands of dollars.
He died of stomach cancer.
He use to say THE DOCTORS don't want to cure you, they just want your money.
Is there any wonder I ended up in a crackpot cult after growing up around this indictment of humanity?
The willingness to attribute wrong motive to others and to see CONSPIRACY is a breeding ground for cults.
