Santosh has not only deliberately misrepresented Gilbert's post, he has done so in a mean-spirited and unprofessional manner given that Gilbert is a Board Certified oncologist and Santosh is a researcher in an unrelated field of medicine. > For example: > "The post appended below propagates dangerous myths and misinformation regarding cancer treatment in this public forum." > No such dangerous myth was being propagated. > Another example: > "Here is a link to an article from the Mayo Clinic, debunking the myth that tumor spreads when it is exposed to air,..." > No such myth had been suggested. Just the opposite. Gilbert had explained that tumors do not spread when exposed to air, which is what the Goan grandmothers thought was causing any such spread. >
