You see, Michael is claiming that the treatments offered by doctors and medical experts are wrong, and that you are much better off listening to his rants (which are certainly not supported by science, evidence or mainstream medicine) and buy books by quacks and untested (or tested and rejected) supplements and treatment regimes. So why are hospitals pushing the treatments they do and dismissing his stuff? Why is science uniformly showing that the stuff he recommends doesn't work? And why are hospitals listening to scientists and not to people like him? Well, to explain that, you need a conspiracy theory.<br /><br />So yeah: hospitals are trying to earn money. That's not a conspiracy theory. The claim that hospitals are pushing stuff that they know don't work and is actually dangerous and not the quackery he recommends and which according to his marketing and evidence-free claims, does work - that requires a conspiracy theory.G.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08875360501107597863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-414946164942126209.post-34919172801345203262018-04-17T07:06:14.213-04:002018-04-17T07:06:14.213-04:00"Also, there is a conspiracy (there is always..."Also, there is a conspiracy (there is always a conspiracy): hospitals are only in it for the money"<br /><br />How is that statement a "conspiracy"?<br /><br />Are you under the impression that hospitals are in it to lose money?Oraneghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04230871873000240549noreply@blogger.com
