“Man slashed with knife goes into surgery to be slashed further by smaller knives”
Once we get better at treating cancers we will look back at Chemo and Radiotherapy with the same mind as we currently look back at mediaeval procedures.
Yep, it just sucks that the hit or miss accuracy of many current treatments will be like that for many decades. It’s just part of the process towards eventually getting to extremely effective treatments with minimal side effects.
Reminds me of that scene in Star Trek when Bones is in the hospital in the 80s and completely overwhelmed by all the barbaric procedures.
I’d say a vaccine is a better example of successful homeopathy.
No. It more like, “If you break what’s broken maybe everything will work again”
More like “If we further break what’s half-broken and going haywire, maybe it’ll stop.”
Not really. Homeopathy is diluting the offending substance with water until it is essentially gone while believing that the recently departed molecules had automagically imparted medicinal properties to the surrounding water molecules. It is quackery up there with ayylmaos and bigfoot enthusiasts.
While you are right about the dilutions. The specific ingredients used are picked based off of the idea “like cures like”. So to cure a headache they would use an ingredient that causes headaches etc. Total quakery
one of more common high energy radiation linked cancers are leukemias, and these are mostly treated with chemotherapy (unless you’re deleting entire bone marrow and getting a little bit from someone else)
Or… hair of the dog that bit ya.
