Cure found for cancer?

If the doctors tell you you're about to croak anyway, surely you can't do any more harm.

Again, I'd also note that I think it's fair enough for people to disagree on the subject, but if someone believes in a therapy and for whatever reason, it appears to be working for them, I don't think there is anything to be gained by belittling that person.

There is no harm in that, the harm is in telling others that it is a cure and having them ignore methods that work.
As for your statement about feelings vs facts... one has nothing to do with the other.
If someone posts something as a fact and it is disputed and shown to be wrong, feelings don't enter into it & it is not an attack, it is information, pure and simple.
I have several things wrong with me & am constantly barraged with well intentioned people who actually tell me to stop my meds and just get acupuncture or drink grapefruit juice or some similar insanity... it is harmful to spread such crap to those who may take them seriously just to feel empowered. That is all it is.
