Court forcing 16 yr old with cancer into chemo

[Alex]

Ok, but again, how do you decide, lacking any real evidence one way or the other, which alternative methods are simply too wacky to consider and which are worth spending money on despite no real evidence one way or the other. Because no matter who whacked out a proposed treatment, I will be able to find you a person in a position of apparent authority who endorses it (just as I can find you PhD geologists who believ the earth is only 6,000 years old).

And I want to be clear that I have absolutely zero problem with research being done on alternative methods. If orange oil helps with chemo nausea, I want to know. Orange oil helping nausea is no weirder than bread mold helping with infections.
