I know a few people who think that everything Dr Google says is gospel.

I was getting dreadful acid reflux. Went to GP and was offered a cocktail of several antibiotics. I'd previously consulted Dr Google, and concluded that these AntiB's pretty much 'knock out' the good bacteria in the gut. I decided to go for an alternative. I consulted a nutritionist (sp?) who suggested taking Mastic Gum for a 10 day trial. Wow, what a difference! On my next visit I asked 'how can I knock it on the head for good?' (as GP had suspected start of a stomach ulcer). N said I could use the Mastic Gum for 2 months, and all should be good. It worked, and I've not had the acid reflux since.
One of the problems with threads like this is that there will always he people able to say "I ignored my doctor's advice, and I'm still alive" but none able to say " I ignored my doctor's advice and died"..... and no way of counting.
A friend was diagnosed by a "Healer" with selenium deficiency and given some dietary advice - a few months later he was diagnosed in A&E with stage 4 metastasized Bowel Cancer. He died a few months later.
