  1. "Dave" just now wanted us to believe that cancer cannot
    exist in a well-oxygenated (i.e. plenty of oxygen)
    environment.

    Just overheard on a cancer mailing list (part of advice to a
    newly diagnosed cancer patient)--- "Even a biopsy will
    expose the cancer to oxygen, which is NOT good news. It's
    like throwing gasoline on a fire (exaggerated, but you can
    visualize the picture). "

    The quality of advice that alternative supporters offer
    cancer sufferers is excruciatingly bad. I suppose they can
    be forgiven . They are so ignorant as to know not what they
    are doing. But whence such wholly unjustified self-
    confidence?.

    It seems you need an apprenticeship to do plumbing, but you
    can pick up all you need to know about treating cancer in a
    weekend of reading a quack book, or looking at the web sites
    of people who are equally ill-equipped for the task.
