[escepticos] Tambien hay gente sensata en el mundo.

Para que veais que no todo está perdido, os incluyo un intercambio de
mensajes en una lista de correo relacionada con los minerales (yo soy
mineralogista aficionado). Como sabeis, hay mucho merluzo/chorizo dispuesto
a utilizar/vender minerales milagrosos para tratar todas las enfermedades,
y a intentar hacer proselitismo por ahí. Esta es la forma en la que yo creo
que se debe abordar el problema.

Especially if you delay more conventional treatments in favor of this
kind of approach. It's one thing to use stones to improve your mental
attitude and outlook, or as tools in massage. It's outrageous to even
bring this up as a treatment option for cancer. I don't usually tell
people what to do on the list, but I am very strongly asking that we end
this thread now. There is nothing of rockhound interest or welfare here,
and much potential for distress, anger or real injury should someone
with cancer or another serious condition decide to explore
'alternatives' involving rocks first. If you must discuss this, then
take it to a different kind of mailing list.

I spent a good part of last year with my husband watching our best
friend die of cancer, not because of rock 'therapies', but because he
chose to ignore symptoms til they could not be treated. Anything that
could lead to the same result in another is not to be encouraged on a
general discussion list, in my very strong opinion.

Por cierto, Carol es comerciante de gemas, y podría haberle vendido esa
sugilita que quería utilizar. Parece que ha preferido quedarse con ella y
ganar algo menos de dinero... pero dormir bien por las noches.
