"Actual Evidence" is not defined by those who use such terms as being
the observation of two intelligent parents.  Therefore no parent can
make any intelligent decision without consulting an MD.  The MD sees
the child for perhaps 8 minutes total and the parents see the child
for a total of 1920 parent-minutes, 240 times more, per day.

This sort of violates the principle of self-reliance.  One of the
reasons that we alties cling so strongly to our deciding for ourselves
is that self-reliance is a spiritual principle; it uplifts and
ennobles the soul.

Also, since when does anyone have a monopoly on what "actual evidence"
means.

It is also expensive to always be rushing to an MD whenever it is
necessary to make a decision.

Also, but most importantly, my little boy and little girl would not
exist if it weren't for our ignoring the advice of an MD  An MD said
that my wife would have to have a radical hysterectomy because of
endometriosis.  I guess the MD thought that she would pad her bank
account because my wife was a third worlder and the MD could get away
with this even thought it would be the last resort even within the
confines of conventional medicine.  Unfortunately, I did not get the
opinion of an MD as to whether the first MD had actually said what we
think she said about having to get a radical hysterectomy.  So it is
only the observation of two adults that the first MD actually said
what we think she said.  Gee, I can't wipe my a.s without the opinion
and consent of some MD telling me that it is the appropriate thing to
do.

Oh, I forgot to mention that the MD told my wife that she would not
have to tell me that she was going to have her ovaries, uterous, and
etc. removed.  I guess she figured that my wife was probably married
to an American who might actually not worship authority figures.  And
you thought that MDs were gods.

I am waiting for those who narrowly define "actual evidence" to have a
problem with their own child and insist upon waiting until they get
the advice of an MD to do anything helpful.

And finally, worshipping authority figures is not scientific.  Since
we can't trust anyone in the medical-pharmaceutical-FDA complex
because of their narrow, materialistic, greed-influenced perspective,
we have to trust our own experience.
