Thank you for your civil and balanced reply.

I don't mind that contrarians like Seyfried exist and ask questions. They appeal to my contrarian and skeptic nature.

What I have an issue with is a medical doctor/researcher like Seyfried stating that cancer is a solved problem but the medical establishment prefers to keep patients sick in order to sell ineffective/toxic chemotherapy. (Yes, he has said this many times.)

I also erase the credibility of a doctor asked publicly (on Twitter) if his "successful" patients are still in remission, he says "Yes", but then you look them up online to discover they are in fact deceased. (True story.)

Any doctor who acts like this has zero credibility, no business being in the medical profession, and can eat sh*t as far as I'm concerned.

Anyway, I don't mean to take you to task over this guy's lack of ethics and poor commitment to science. I'd rather not see someone like that boosted -- i.e., someone who appeals to cancer patients preemptively on social media to talk them out of SOC treatment.
