Fortunately, love, we have better ways than "viewpoints" and "anger" and to determine the truth of these matters. There is no "viewpoint" involved with regard to scientific truth.

Well, I would use all my healing tools, and attempt to determine the underlying cause of the disease. I would likely only use Revlimid as a last resort. I would bascially just do, whatever I felt to.
"Healing tools" is a nonsense phrase used by those who wish to include unproven or even disproven ideas as substitutes for medicine. Doing what you feel like doing is a recipe for disaster.

I do use homeopathy.
Then, love, you're a fool.

ime I had dental pain, for example, I treated myself using a homeopathic remedy. I guess I am just one of those 20%. Perhaps I am extra suggestible.
If you are "one of those 20%," love, then you didn't "treat" yourself. You deluded yourself. The "treatment" did nothing. This is the definition of "placebo." Nothing happened as a result of the placebo. It either happened anyway, or the patient deluded herself.

I think that's an exaggeration, and you know it.
Uh, no, you clearly don't understand what a placebo is.

Its a great thing that science isn't based on people's experience, because, you see, nobody else can corroborate or refute your self-reports. We can simply say the placebo didn't help you one wit. We can further more say, with confidence, that the various snake oils you applied were also a total waste of both your time and effort. Period, love.

The Body Mirror System of Healing, for example. It helped cure a family member of scoliosis. There are many others. I could offer you a remote healing. As I am so far away, I am fairly sure you won't punch me in the face.
Remote healing? And you haven't applied for the million dollars? What kind of foolishness is this?
Quote:
The condition, yes. But I am not sure you are open to being cured that way. You seem to have more faith in the miracles of modern medicine.
Fallacy of equivocation here, love.

In the end, I believe people heal when they take responsibility for their own health.
Please cite your evidence. I have, btw, similar questions on other threads that you seem to have ignored. Please respond to this one.
