I am far from an expert in these matters, but can contribute an anecdotal experience that bears this out. A friend of mine in Santa Fe was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, one of the worst. He went to the Mayo Clinic, and was examined by the most internationally-famous cancer specialist there, who pronounced him incurable and told my friend that he would die within six months. My friend looked into alternative therapies and began to practice them, and is still alive and kicking today, ten years later. The doctor in question was so upset that my friend had proved him wrong that he started calling him and writing him letters telling him that he was in denial and was really about to die any minute. In other words, he was trying to weaken my friend's resolve and his immune system and *make* him die, just so that his predictions wouldn't be wrong. Stupidly, the doctor in question put some of these things in writing, and my friend sued, and is now living (*still* living) on the results of the mal- practice suit against him, and the settlement for him dropping criminal charges of harassment. I know that there are some good alopathic doctors out there who are nothing *like* this guy. I'm just posting this to remind people that famous is not necessarily better. If the famous doctor has an ego problem like this guy did, it could very well be worse.
