Now, That's Being Committed To Your Principles. Or Stupidity. One Or The Other

Man, it's weird. A few days ago, looking through an old newspaper from the early '70s, I saw a story about a dying actress who'd gone to get laetrile treatments. Remember when laetrile -- from apricot pits -- was hoped to be a cancer cure? And how it didn't work and had terrible side effects? It's 2017 and some people still take the stuff, including a man who was diagnosed with cyanide poisoning from taking laetrile. He was showing symptoms of being poisoned, they found very, very high levels of cyanide in his system... and he's continuing to take it anyway. That's dedication. That's stubbornness. That's insane. Anyway, it's also "alternative medicine," and you can talk about whether you buy into the homeopathic theories or not. (CTV News)
