Slight dilemma- do I need to see what he’s written or do I know already so don’t give him my traffic

On balance I don’t think he’s worth wasting my cognitive capacity on

Made a similar calculation and came to the same conclusion

It says nothing, basically the health rando equivalent of a sports commentator who says:

Well, Jim, the game could go either way. One team could win, and that probably means the other would lose. Or it could go the other way. I've seen some go one way, and I've seen some go another. Now allow me a few minutes to say the exact same thing in different ways to fill some air until we go to our sponsors. And that's why they pay me the big bucks.

So, there, you pretty much read the whole thing. I have no idea what point anyone involved think they are making, but they sure are making it clear that their opinion is of no relevance whatsoever.

Honestly, alternative medicine is eating medicine's lunch. Because medicine basically decided, "hey, why not just give it to them, what do we have to lose? It's not even our own lunch anyway, we just get this handed to us regardless of what we do with it, so fuck it." It's like seeing the nightmare regression in politics, how advanced technology is being used to bring pre-Enlightenment ideas and policies back. Except it's not done by the general public being manipulated, it's done by the experts themselves. Absolutely baffling.
