Time to wake up Percy!
This means you'll do foolish things like treat genuine medical problems with castor oil packs or homeopathic remedies, and not vaccinate your child so that she's only protected from disease as long as she doesn't stray from regions of the world that have broad participation in vaccination programs while also placing your own society at risk by reducing participation levels.
In other words, I don't see a genuine desire to learn and understand the scientific approach to medicine. I see a determination to justify what you want to believe.
Percy
What exactly are your qualifications for evaluating medical research and giving people medical advice?
If PD follows your advice and suffers a loss are you taking the responsibility?
Are you licensed to practice medicine or give medical advice?
Are you insured for loss resulting from your professional medical opinion?
FYI:
quack
-noun 1. a fraudulent or ignorant pretender to medical skill.
2. a person who pretends, professionally or publicly, to skill, knowledge, or qualifications he or she does not possess; a charlatan.

A question
I don't believe in the supernatural, or ESP, or ghosts. My aim in making this argument is not to defend belief in things that don't have any basis in reality,.......
JavaMan,
I would like to know why you included this statement in your OP since it appears to me to be unneeded.
Your OP does not require a statement of your personal belief system so why did you feel the need to include it?
It's not important to the subject of the OP.
Or is it?
