Reply To: Cancer is a Fungus?

But huju, the problem is that the desperate sick people don’t know or care about the scientific method or the way things are supposed to work, nor do they have the patience or time to wait to see if a “novel” hypothesis turns out to be right. Someone writes a book, or starts a blog, pseudoscience becomes confused with real science. There are lots of unproven hypothesis out there that are ignored by anyone who knows anything about medicine, but that attract attention nevertheless by those who are unfortunately sick and want to believe that it will work for them. It is this aspect that most of the posts were addressing.
