"but to say vitamins cure disease and drugs don't help anything is wrong. Way wrong."

Strawman.

I said that proper nutrition cures disease. That means eating real food, like greens that are grown organically, and meat that was grass fed, and not given synthetic hormones, and raw whole dairy products that still contain the natural organisms and enzymes to digest them. Vitamin pills are an emergency stop-gap, not the whole solution, and there are more than vitamins involved. At this point there are more than 300 known bioflavinoids that are missing from junk food.

Hey, proper nutrition is great. So is exercise and environmental health. I'll even agree that organic is probably better, although, irrelevantly, it's often prohibitively expensive, and the market is growing enough that it may soon be watered-down into meaninglessness by the agriculture industry.

There's where we agree. I go to a doctor when my toe agonizingly swells up with infection, and if my child was diagnosed with early-term, treatable cancer I'd ask a medical doctor to go ahead and cure him, but let's focus on the positives!

(Sidetrack: I once worked a Summer job for an "organic" stonefruit farm. It made me realize that the hefty inflated prices of organics are not always invented from whole cloth; we lost approximately 20% of our peach crop to brown rot, a fungus eliminated by "non-organic" fungicides. It sure seemed like a big waste. The remaining fruit was great, regardless.)
