But as is well known, comparisons are extremely difficult for a variety of reasons, the main one being too many variables involved. Such studies have been done, but your unwillingness to devote time or energy to research the matter precludes you from being aware of that. Such studies are all over the map. There is no consistency among them. You merely pick the ones that appeal to your prejudices. AND you would know how pray tell since you by your own admission you have gone on record to sate that you cant; be bothered doing the research? Maybe we should be studying those people who never get cancer and trying to find out why that is? That has been done too (see my comment above in this regard), and generally resistance to cancer has been determined to be largely genetically linked. *If you expect to be taken seriously and listened to, I'd suggest you first learn before opening talking crap. Same problem - no consistency because of way too many variables. See my comment above. The obvious difference in this exchang is that I have presented fact and you have responded with conjecture. What you think you know is a mere pittance compared to what the true experts know. What are your credentials other than reading a lot of unrelated health and medical literature on your own? My doctors have a much higher opinion of my knowledge in this regard than you do and needless to say I value their opinion more that yours. *Whereas, what I know is arguably less than what experts in the field know, it is also a given that what you know is a mere pittance in comparison to what I know, so why don't you give it a rest until you get up to speed? You have no idea what your doctors really think of your state of knowledge. An you base you errant opinion stated as fat on one may I ask? But I do. As I previously state, my urologist has said that he has conversations with me that he has with none of his other patients. Why? because I am more informed than his other patients. That's why! In my medical records, my urologist stated ..."very informed patient who has done his homework". My radiological oncologist state ... "you can stop doing your research. You already know more than my residents. I'd say those are definite indications as to what my doctors think of my state of knowledge. Also, most doctors think they know more than they do. The real experts will tell you that we do not know what causes most cancers. You have never stated who you consider these "real exoperts" to be ... research scientists, perhaps? Regardless, evidence continues to accumulate. Although there is still more to be learned, many of the cause of cancer have been identified and you' know that if you would take the time to become informed, but you are too busy stating stating opinions based on conjecture rather than fats. If you had studied the social sciences more in college instead of worthless subjects like philosophy and religion at Loyola, you would know that we are indeed slaves of our culture. You have no idea what I studied and social sciences were among them. It is obvious that you didn't benefit from your education which came to a screeching halt with the receipt of a diploma ... sad that. I know you went to Loyola because you told me so. I am not in dispute of where I attended but rather in what ellectives comprised the subject matter I chose to become acquainted with. All Catholic colleges require that you waste inordinate amounts of time on *courses like religion and philosophy, which is why I never went to a Catholic college. Catholic colleges are good at preparing students for law and medical schools, but terrible at any of the liberal arts. Reason? Too much religion. Opinion stated as fact. Catholic colleges and universities are by an large liberal arts oriented. Loyola certainly is. Ed Dolan the Great - Minnesota aka Saint Edward the Great - Order of the Perpetual Sorrows - Minnesota |
