If you are actually reading the Chinese study then you will start eating tremendous amounts of mung beans (until you realize what the Chinese authorities did, it's false) Brian is not angry at you nor is anyone else here angry at you. His post is as far from "bullying" as possible. It's just that on OCF, posters can have their own opinions, just not make up their own "facts". You just ignore your prior posts which insult everyone here as though you actually know something about oral cancer but we have all been "tricked" somehow by traditional medicine. Let me be the first to call you on your bad attitude. In Catholic theology, you would be deemed to be "vincibly ignorant" which is actually worse than "invicible ignorance".

It could just be a vocabulary issue or maybe a basic grammar issue. When you use the conjunction "or" in your subject line, it means you are going to pick one or the other, either holistic or traditional medicine. Holistic means different things to people. We all recognize that its much better to eat healthy and pretty much all the OCF posters are in fact "holistic" if you use the reasonable American Cancer society definition: [quote]In mainstream medicine, a holistic approach generally means a more inclusive approach to a person�s health, one that includes the patient�s social and cultural situation as well as his or her illness. This term holistic is used by doctors to reflect a focus on a person�s overall health, a focus that includes prevention, rehabilitation, and other approaches, rather than illness alone. [/quote]

No one quibbles with that. Unfortunately as the ACS notes
[quote]Available scientific evidence does not support claims that holistic medicine, when used without mainstream or conventional medicine, is effective in treating cancer or any other disease.

Take a look at their webpage on this issue
ACS holistic medicine

IMO you owe Brian an apology.
