It's the only *possible* justification (were chemo curative) for
arguing in favor of state-forced medical treatment.

That's why your already tenuous argument, whatever it may be, doesn't
stand up to scrutiny.

Glad you figured that out. Try applying this to "evidence based
medicine" and see if it doesn't put a new light on things.

Only when applied to pharmaceuticals. When applied to nutraceuticals,
it's a different story. Most human disease is a product of nutrient
deficiency, or insufficiency. The FDA, in its various rulemaking, has
contravened good science for the sake of accomodating its corporate
sponsors. The reality is that very few diseases are incurable, though
it certainly depends on the stage of illness at the time therapy is
initiated.

Gladly. The medical literature is replete with discussion of
reversible diseases, chronic and acute, spanning a broad range of
symptomatic manifestation, fully treatable, and usually curable by
nutrients alone. While the state of illness at the time treatment is
begun is a factor, more disease is associated with nutrient deficiency
than any other single causative factor. See the partial list below.
Unfortunately, our government health bureacracies haven't been willing
to fund studies exploring the relationship between most chronic illness
and acute-stage nutrient-deficiency disease, as this would make it
clear that most pharmaceuticals are not only unncessary, but a cost and
a burden to society.

Yes, it does. What are you doing about it?

If I move the goal post, it's not to avoid a discussion, but rather to
provoke one.
