Default AGREED!

I agree with you completely. Why bore others with our differences of opinion. We will terminate the discussion/discourse now.
However, do allow me the opportunity to chastise ONE OF MY OWN COLLEAGUES, DEEPAK CHOPRA, M.D. This is an attack on MY medical community, not yours.

As for Chopra, I can't understand why anyone would trust somebody who claims that he has levitated and who says that "if you think happy, you will have happy molecules." I suspect that many people who buy his books don't actually read them because if they did, they would never buy another one again. His beliefs include the idea that "illness and aging are an illusion and we can achieve an ageless body and a timeless mind by the sheer force of consciousness." Try telling people with cancer that their illness is an illusion and can be cured by happy thoughts. Most of what Chopra advocates is typical New Age babble. For example, he says that (a) a person is a field of vibrating energy, information and intelligence connected to the entire cosmos; (b) all organs of the body are built from a specific sequence of vibrations; (c) when organs are sick, they are vibrating improperly; (d) certain herbs and aromas can help to restore proper vibrations; (e) certain gems and crystals can rejuvenate human skin; and (f) good thoughts can reverse the aging process." How does he know all this? Simple, because he believes it to be true and as a result, it is unnecessary for him to prove it.
