Only in the world that chooses a lifetime of managed illness over cures and compassion do we so callously and easily toss aside a lifetime of accomplishments and brand someone as a crank when he tells the truth about what his experience has taught him IF that truth happens to go against the mainstream (bottom)line. Wise and caring societies tend to revere the wisdom that comes with age. But then no one here with a lick of sense ever mistook mainstream medicine's message to be wise or caring.
It was a nice try, given the huge handicap, to try to brush off such an impressive body of credentials. Personally, if I had stepped in shite that deep I think I might go hide and lick my wounds for awhile and repeat over and over "look before you leap".
