[lbo-talk] putting quackery to the test

[info at pulpculture.org]

But I'm completely confused as to how Doug's assertion -- that modern 
medicine has contributed to a reduction in cancer mortality rates -- is 
undermined by the growth in childhood cancer, particularly when it doesn't 
appear that medicin is causing the growth in cancer, but environmental 
conditions. How is medicine causing those things?

Am I misunderstanding the purpose of the back and forth quotage?
