CEASE therapy or homeopathy, any luck?

My apologies to terrorhawk.

zone tripper, I would consider it more decent to quote me accurately enough to include the part about my conclusions. I most certainly didn't say that homeopathy 'cured' my sister, nor did I say that faith did, and I make no claims for either. My statements were factual, my opinions my own and honestly held, as are yours.

This same sister of mine died from a form of lung cancer, brought on by building work according to her consultant, and I just considered that to be ironic. Regarding your statement that faith didn't save your grandparents, I could just as easily say neither did modern medicine. This applies equally to my sister. This is immaterial to the fact that they are no longer with us, and I am sorry for your loss.

Once again, I would remind you that terrorhawk, as a loving, caring parent, asked a serious question. Instead of putting your point of view and leaving terrorhawk to consider it, you got into an increasingly fierce debate with a homeopathist, Alan, who also posted a point of view. It was distressing me because I felt, strongly, that it was an innapropriate distraction, and direspectful of terrorhawk's request for people to be gentle. You both put your views, and terrorhawk can form an opinion without being browbeaten.

That's why I asked Alan if he would please stop the debate because he came across to me as more likely to respond, whereas I didn't think that you would readily consider what you were doing. It is clear that you both advocate strongly for your respective views, and I welcome both for my own consideration. My only regret is that we cannot continue this discussion in private, on here.

We all have views that we strongly advocate for, but we try to emphasise that often, the most we can say is 'in my opinion'. That's what I think.
