Hi Mario,
I beg your indulgence to switch the title of the thread "Allowing Others To
Walk Their Paths" to the more appropriate "Another Kaneo .. or is it .. Hot
Air?"
Compliments for your sharp observations, which you have outlined below.
You should tutor some our goanet "research scientists" to interpret correctly
what to most is plainly observed.
These are the same guys that write pious posts and claim:
Me? Distort others? Not on my word of honor! ....
Or "Moderators please have the gust to censor me for such behavior."
Kind Regards, GL

For example, right after posting the seemingly conciliatory comments, this same
Kevin could not resist the temptation to post:
a) "This does not stop the faith healers or other religious leaders from
accepting donations in return for (ineffective) prayers."
>
b) "Interestingly, prayer had a positive effect on the rate of immaculate
conceptions;-)"
>
What makes this even more interesting is that Kevin, who is a vetenarian, is
commenting on a facetious post on Goan kaneos as they relate to cancer by
Gilbert, who is a Board Certified oncologist.
>
Kevin joined Santosh and Jose, who are not trained oncologists either. Santosh
even claimed in his response to Gilbert, "The post appended below propagates
dangerous myths and misinformation regarding cancer treatment in this public
forum.".
>
However, what Kevin seems to have understood before descending into ridicule,
which Santosh and Jose seem to have missed, intentionally or intentionally, is
the following key and serious paragraph in Gilbert's otherwise light-hearted
post, which was as follows:
>
"The current explanation for this (statistical significant) observation is that
the surgery depresses the immune system, allowing the tumors to now behave and
grow even more aggressively. Hence cancer surgery has undergone and is
undergoing significant shift. From big radical cancer surgery we have
turned/flipped and are now into minimal/organ-saving cancer surgery.
Laboratory studies on humans show that markers of the immune system are
significantly suppressed after major surgery."
>
In other words, what the Goan grandmothers thought was being caused by
exposition to air, was in fact, being caused by a depression of the immune
system.
>
For those who understood what Gilbert was trying to say, there was no
propagation of "...dangerous myths and misinformation regarding cancer
treatment in this public forum."
