I point out below two absurdities regarding medical cures posted in this
forum. The first one demonstrates faulty logic.
Yes, the oncologists could not even prolong his life. That confirms what
I said. I find a confirmation in the statement of medical companies
themselves about ALIMTA

In the above quote the author wants readers to believe that his
unjustified repeated blanket claims of cancer in general being incurable
is confirmed by two incidental observations:
1. One solitary anecdote of a terrible and unfortunate suicide of a
cancer patient, and
***Was it suicide? The neuroscientist is trying to bluff the readers and
me...
2. A claim by some pharmaceutical company that one of its drugs cannot
cure a type of lung cancer that is in an advanced inoperable stage.
***This is the newest drug that is being used by cancer patients and is too
costly. It does not cure, prolongs life. Can he challenge this statement of
the medical company?
> The author clearly seems unaware of the elementary wisdom that one
swallow does not a summer make.
***It does not logically follow... (non sequitur)...
The second absurdity satisfies the classic definition of quackery, i.e.
the pretense by an non-physician "to be able to diagnose or heal people"
despite being "unqualified and incompetent" to do so. Please see the
following quote:
I am not a "real doctor", nor "specially trained oncologist" (though I
have cured non-cancerous, benign tumours)...
***What a literary illiteracy! I do not deny that I can treat and cure
tumours with the medical knowledge and experience that I have. (I have put
between the inverted commas the expressions given by him). All medical tests
by "properly trained pathologists" have been given and the cure confirmed.
It is not absurd but commendable! I am not a "quack", nor "incompetent", but
quite competent to do what I am doing...
