The last people you want to waste your precious time on are academics and researchers IN UNRELATED MEDICAL FIELDS, especially ones who did not have the wisdom to realize what a practicing oncologist had said IN SIMPLE ENGLISH, that medical correlations could be mistaken for causes by Goan grandmothers. >
