“Man slashed with knife goes into surgery to be slashed further by smaller knives”
Once we get better at treating cancers we will look back at Chemo and Radiotherapy with the same mind as we currently look back at mediaeval procedures.
There’s so much amazing cancer medicine in the pipeline, it’s just crazy. If only 10% or it works as good as hoped for, cancer will be much less of an issue in a comparatively short time.
Yep, it just sucks that the hit or miss accuracy of many current treatments will be like that for many decades. It’s just part of the process towards eventually getting to extremely effective treatments with minimal side effects.
Reminds me of that scene in Star Trek when Bones is in the hospital in the 80s and completely overwhelmed by all the barbaric procedures.

Vaccines have nothing in common with homeopathy.
Vaccines are a preventive measure that expose your immune system to small amount of pathogens, their toxins or small parts of their genetic code (mRNA vaccines) to build up immunity and prevent or lessen future infections. Their effects are proven in multiple studies and meta studies.
Homeopathy is quackery that dilutes organic or anorganic materials (that randomly got associated with symptoms, e.g. Berlin Wall against binding problems) to infinity to treat an existing condition.
Every high-quality scientific study leads to the realisation that Homeopathy doesn’t act beyond placebo effects.Removed by mod
This is the bullshit homeopathy tells since the beginning.
If true homeopaths would offer you influenza globuli against a flu but instead you get Aconitum napellus, an extremely poisonous flower.
That’s poison is then watered down till there isn’t a single molecule of it left. Afterwards it is sprayed on globulis or further diluted in alcohol. But that’s okay because homeopathy believes in the “memory of water” that is complete nonsense on it’s own.Removed by mod
But the definition is made up nonsense. The Simile principle and the definition of allopathy as opposite of a disease vector are false. The only active agents that could be defined as such opposites are antibiotics and virustatics.
Alternative medicine kills, every day. So being scientific correct has nothing to do with being offended.

Not really. Homeopathy is diluting the offending substance with water until it is essentially gone while believing that the recently departed molecules had automagically imparted medicinal properties to the surrounding water molecules. It is quackery up there with ayylmaos and bigfoot enthusiasts.
While you are right about the dilutions. The specific ingredients used are picked based off of the idea “like cures like”. So to cure a headache they would use an ingredient that causes headaches etc. Total quakery
No. It more like, “If you break what’s broken maybe everything will work again”
More like “If we further break what’s half-broken and going haywire, maybe it’ll stop.”
one of more common high energy radiation linked cancers are leukemias, and these are mostly treated with chemotherapy (unless you’re deleting entire bone marrow and getting a little bit from someone else)
Or… hair of the dog that bit ya.
