This outburst from Gilbert is understandable considering the obvious fact that what he had written had nothing to do with the issue at hand, as referred to by Bosco and Venantius. Please note the following response by Bosco, for instance, to the irrelevant post by Gilbert in this thread:
http://www.mail-archive.com/goanet@lists.goanet.org/msg45880.html Quite predictably, Gilbert is now misinforming you that I don't know anything about cancer, and that I haven't read or don't understand what I read on this topic on the internet and elsewhere. Nobody should be fooled by this, and by his inappropriate use of the word "abuse" to describe those who diligently provide weblinks and references for the information they provide, especially if it is a verbatim quote from someone else. It should also be clear to most sensible people that because of my formal medical education I should know more about cancer than Gilbert does about Goan history, history of the inquisition, history of Tipu Sultan, and world economics, all topics on which he has pontificated on Goanet without having any formal background in these fields, and without providing any sources for his baseless speculations, even when repeatedly asked to do so. BTW, I apologize for inadvertently leaving out the definition of cure, as provided by the U.S. National Cancer Institute (NCI), from my earlier attempt to clarify the confusion injected by Gilbert about cancer. Here it is now at the same NCI website I had provided in my earlier post: QUOTE cure To heal or restore health; a treatment to restore health. UNQUOTE http://www.cancer.gov/dictionary/?CdrID=318813 I had also provided earlier on Goanet a more quantitative definition of cancer cure based on my critical reading, understanding and study of the latest original papers on cancer epidemiology by international experts such as Herman Brenner.
