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.
do you do all your own household repairs? if your computer was broken would you repair it yourself? who built your house?

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. I know you won't accept that, and I know the reasons why. and you see I'm near-sighted? Think again
