"Cranks and quacks lack humility in the face of disease; they demonstrate the arrogance of ignorance. They lure their victims with false promises of miracle cures for incurable diseases and less scary “natural” alternatives to surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and drugs. They don’t know what they don’t know, and that makes them very dangerous."
