    I’ve learned that Toni Bark died of her cancer yesterday. She espoused all kinds of quackery and antivaccine nonsense. Still, her death saddens me.pic.twitter.com/xqqXxMhgjv

        It is a useful lesson, though, that, contrary to the sort of quackery she promoted saying that you have pretty much total control over your health and whether you get cancer or not, you can live the healthiest lifestyle in the world and still get cancer.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2019/11/22/toni-bark-has-cancer/ …

        Look, a healthy lifestyle and diet can definitely cut your risk of certain (but by no means all) cancers and of a host of chronic diseases. Where quacks get it wrong is in their belief that we have near total control of our health. We don’t.

        It’s reasonable to control as much about your health as you can feasibly manage, but don’t go all @billmaher and believe that a healthy lifestyle will protect you against the flu.https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/oh-come-on-superman-bill-maher-and-western-medicine/ …

        I hope, as a result of this, some people seriously reevaluate their positions.

        It is possible- this takes me back to when I found out thanks to @gorskon that Christine Maggiore and her daughter had died and it got me out of the woo, anti-vax rabbit hole.

        I too am sorry to read of Toni Bark’s death, even though I thought she preached lies about vaccines, and health. My condolences to those who loved her, and may her memory become a blessing to them.

        For some reason I’m choking up. It’s a sad time anyway because a young girl I knew just tragically died and all I can think of is their family’s grief.
