In your world of 10 year age gaps, how often is it a poor 45 year old married to a rich a 35 year old? How often is it an old lady with a young guy? Or do you often find that it's an older person in high social standing or wealth with a younger person of lower standing or wealth? Power disparities are always awful. | ||

Was going to recommend: http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3272165-bad-science Reading the reviews, they look like they send a similar message on the topic of quackery. So whichever one you want. But just tell your friend to listen to the doctor. He/She studied for years to learn how to treat diseases. Why would you rather listen to some random schmuck on the internet than that obvious expert. And if you doubt the advice he/she is giving you, get a second opinion from another doctor. Notice how it says doctor and still not random person on the internet? Yeah. But there is actually a well known natural remedy to cure Lyme disease: penicillin  | ||

Also, it says in this unregulated advertisement that their products is doing all these things that the regulated information about the mainstream medicine doesn't claim. Further, in this link there is an anecdote, from another practitioner and stakeholder in the alternative treatment with what for me looks roughly like an MD, where everyone treated by this medicine immediately gets better. Good luck! :/ | ||

When it comes from people I care about, I try to be polite, but to complete strangers I have no problems saying that I am not interested in stupid nonsense. | ||

This is something that annoys me to no end. It is basically impossible to find a doctor that does not have one of those. And the apothecaries sell homeopathic bullshit right next to actual medicine. I know that there is a demand for this bullshit among stupid people, but please. Your business is to heal people, not to sell them bullshit that does exactly nothing. The parents of my girlfriend are really into this stuff. They also really suck at causal arguments. So every time they come here, they bring a shitload of useless sugar pills, because you "have to help your body stay healthy". We have a whole cupboard of that shit. Every time one of us gets sick, they claim it is because we don't take enough of the shit. Not on the fact that we work with lots of different children throughout the city. Or the fact that we meet dozens of different people in sneezing range at university. And i have talked to them. It is impossible to make them understand this. Whatever i say just sounds like "I don't care about your daughters health" to them. | ||

edit: this may come out the wrong way, so even though I am aware that the explanation ruins the moment, I meant it like "here I can observe people presenting various anti-medicine idiots they meet while I am casually benefiting from the state-of-the-art product of modern medicine" | ||

The problem is with people who claim that everything can be fixed with a diet that's particularly hip right now or which they have just thought of in their dreams last night and with people who claim that only "natural medicine" and similar bullcrap is the solution to everything. These are just idiots, or sometimes also golddiggers, if they happen to sell said medicine or somehow monetize said diet. | ||
