Re: Take up the Guantlet-do you mean "gauntlet"?

Very clever and worrying! Ooh I'm so scared.

You fall into the type of altmedder who has a problem with experts. For some reason you think that you know more about the body despite me spending 5 years at medical school. I don't know the motive in your particular case but generally I believe its people who are control freaks. They take this to the extreme that you invest in a mythology that "empowers" themselves as experts.

There are all sorts of ways to debunk that philosophy.
