Stardate 20010603.0702 (On Screen via long range sensors): I should warn you that this is deeply disturbing to read. I read it yesterday and I still feel ill. "Therapists" in Colorado used highly questionable (to say the least) methods to "treat" an adopted girl and in the course of it killed her, and they videotaped the entire thing. The author of this watched the video tape and describes how she died. The tape also figured highly in the trial of the "therapists", who were convicted and will probably be getting extremely long prison sentences for this -- and I'm really glad.

There's no room to tolerate pseudoscience. Pseudoscience kills. Self deception is dangerous. People who use homeopathy or fermented mistletoe or other quack treatments for cancer instead of normal chemotherapy can die because of it. A pleasing lie is still a lie. I wish I could find something profound to say about this but I feel too sick about it. (discuss)
