Phew, now can have olive oil without being excommunicated from science: “In fact, a meta-analysis of more than 1.5 million healthy adults demonstrated that following a Mediterranean diet was associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular mortality as well as overall mortality”
Just like “natural” arsenic can kill you, so can a medical error or side effect. There is genuine harm in the allopathic system, that if not acknowledged, will drive people away. It can feel good to say “You are wrong and dumb too.” But does not change minds or outcomes.

I agree that disdain is bad, and I hope I've never called anyone dumb. Thanks for the conversation.

I'd take her more seriously if she'd stop using the word "allopathic" so much. Hint: It's a disparaging word coined by Samuel Hahnemann, the creator of homeopathy, to describe medicine that is not homeopathy. Only the woo-friendly use it to describe conventional medicine.

Genuine harm? Medical errors exist, but they are usually worked up and logged. Your arguments (here and in many other tweets) are those of a biased layperson rather than of somebody who went through med school. I’m beyond surprised.

Seriously folks, this is classic behavior of those letting frustration addle their brains, control their behavior. Sweeping statements about a person based on tweets? This is how you push people away from evidence and science. How often have you changed simeone’s mind that way?
