Welcome to the world of alternative medicine, Steve. Between the hysterical hucksterism on one hand and the fanatical debunkers on the other, you don't need to work very hard to prove to yourself that there are no good alternatives to be found. Everything looks like hype, at best, dangerous heresy or fraud at worst. But there's a deeper issue than that... Consider the ramifications of finding even *one* alternative treatment for a major disease! For even *one* alternative treatment to work, you have to face the question of why the mainstream does not recognise -- or even overtly suppresses -- it. What must that mean about the motives and integrity of conventional authorities? For anyone that is bought-in to the mainstream point of view, this is a severe threat to their entire belief system. When you think of it in those terms, is it any wonder people are so reluctant to trust *you* when you suggest there might be another way to treat what ails them? It hurts because you care about them. It's offensive because it shows they don't believe in you. It's depressing if you allow it to be. Make some CS and give it to him. Explain that you've found that it works and you hope he'll give it a shot. Affirm that you're only offering it because you care, and that you'll be there if he has any questions. Then let it go. I mean that: Let it go. You'll get nothing from pushing it, except frustration and hard feelings on both sides. You can pray, too, if you like. We'll be here if you need us. I wish you well, Mike D.
