About what would be expected of any random alternative medicine program coaching people to think positively, then asking the participants how they...
They don't understand the risk, though. Or simply ignore it. Or dismiss it. Either way, they can't do a reward/risk evaluation without knowing the...
It's always projection with these people. Just absurd level of projection and complete lack of self-awareness.
Lack of access really undersells the problem. Living in a very remote place where no specialists practice is lack of access. This is systemic...
Notably, this is pretty much the basis of homeopathy: a small dose of ill cures the illness. The 'theory' makes zero difference, it's clearly...

Going back to this thread in the light of another where comments submitted for the NICE guideline by various medical bodies that rely on active...
That framing has long been around, the idea that patients can choose to re-engage with the treatments later on, if they finally find the...
