You're Doing A Great Job, Brownie (Or "It Was Just My Imagination - Runnin' Away With Me")

"'After the steaming piles of pseudoscience flew right and left, the skeptics in attendance asked our questions: what bacteria cause this? Why would doctors cover up a cure for cancer? What studies have you done? Where were they published? How long have you followed your patients? Are you a doctor? We asked far more questions than the rest of the audience combined, even though they outnumbered us six or seven times. I doubt that Randi, Dennis, Brad, Don and I were the only ones skeptical of his claims - but we were the only ones voicing that skepticism.

Dowling did not have our answers. After claiming to have published studies, after claiming a 100% cure rate, after calling himself a doctor, he said that he had the proof. And when we asked for it, we got dodgy answers, evasions, and even the confession that he was not in fact a doctor. Of course, he was only a few semesters away from a medical degree in the Caribbean.

This is not surprising. What is surprising is the cultish, exploitative manner in which Dowling operates. In order to get the cure for cancer, you have to jump through a lot of expensive hoops.'

Actually, there is nothing at all surprising about the cultish exploitive manner in which Dowling operates."

-- Orac, joining Masala Skeptic in, once again, dropping "the 'c' word" on a lying leftist - but, like Bill Clinton, the big baby won't get into seriously tackling Liberal NewAge cultism as an issue (even though they're in power and "they outnumbered us six or seven times") because (get this:) those attacks are "partisan" - but - since he's the perfect example of the kind of doctor NewAge cultists want to convert, exploit or eliminate - O-boy's still giving it a cowardly dallop of face-saving Respectful Insolence.

Go figure.
