Re: Should we stop calling it a conspiracy?
FWIW, when it comes to virtual interaction, at the outset I tend to take things at face value and try to give benefit of the doubt accordingly. Reading your reply has given pause enough to wonder if first blush was accurate.
"...is to qualify as a conspiracy, then I would have thought that a minimum requirement ..." Speaking just for myself, neither the thought nor concern for same has ever occurred to me as important concerning cancer or whether or not the prevailing situation with cancer qualifies. The idea alone begs the question of who or more likely what is in charge of doing the qualifying. That is enough for me to lose what little concern or regard I may have for such a question. Be that as it may it was difficult to avoid noticing "to qualify as a conspiracy" has a rather clinical ring to it and from here there are generally not too many dots to connect between clinical speak and mainstream speak that often talks with a stick. This leaves me to wonder if perhaps you were being more literal and less figurative when relating debate with a mainstream doctor and are perhaps unwittingly injured or in some way affected by that beating.
"Should we stop calling it a conspiracy?" Forget we for a moment. Regardless of which side you are on, what would you like to call it?
Alternative treatment and the suppression therein is certainly a part of the cancer
Conspiracy but in my view, while it may seem an easy prospect to surgically separate this part from the whole so as to discuss it by itself, it is too difficult to be practical and ultimately not worthwhile. You seem confident in doubting there has been at least a measure of success in hiding the evidence from public scrutiny. The measure of success has been gargantuan but from one person to the next any person may need to figure out a way ti turn off what ever amount of disbelief-factor they suffer. one example: Over the course of a few months nearly a hundred years ago, Roy Rife was 16 for 16 in ridding cancer from patients mainstream medicine wrote off as hopeless terminal cases they sent home to die. This event was hosted at facilities provided by a prominent California university. Nearly a hundred years later we all should know this story off the top of our heads, it should be required teaching beginning during first grade and through post-graduate, there should be hymns we all have memorized singing praise and thanks to Roy, his portrait should be placed in rooms, offices and hallways above that of any public face/ figure/ officer, except Jesus Christ, littering rooms, offices and hallways world wide. The expanding giant network of metal towers and satellites beaming TV and radio media into people's homes and brains should be carrying the proper arrangement of MOR frequencies Roy discovered . Instead, the relative few people who even are aware of his name are encouraged to think of him as a down-on-his luck genius who left this world as a broken alcoholic and in his stead there remains mainstream medicine with hundreds of billions of dollars in funding over these years insisting they must cut, burn and poison their way to saving one in ten people with cancer. If that is not at least a measure of success in hiding evidence from public scrutiny, with all due respect, one of the two of we are not qualified to further discuss this topic.
