That's not to say there couldn't have been errors in the study though; anyone know who the BBC contracted to do the study, or if that lab has the full results posted anywhere?

Even so, modern medicine has a proven track record in the majority of cases. Gambling with your life just seems a bit silly to me.

"Either God wants to abolish evil, and cannot; or he can, but does not want to. ... If he wants to, but cannot, he is impotent. If he can, but does not want to, he is wicked. ... If, as they say, God can abolish evil, and God really wants to do it, why is there evil in the world?" -Epicurus


Fear is the mother of all gods.

Nature does all things spontaneously, by herself, without the meddling of the gods. -Lucretius
