as usual you misunderstand the point I made. there are certain things you need to know to interpret biomedical papers. you can learn these as a layperson, but it is apparent that you have not from the errors you make.
I do not understand the complex mechanics of my car. that does not mean I am not capable of understanding it, merely that it is not something I have learnt. You believe that a bit of "DIY" is the best thing for your body.

you have looked for something which you believe will back up your opinion - and you have apparently (as far as you are concerned) succeeded. if you looked at all the material available (not just soundbites on the internet) you would see I am correct about gallstones.
