> Yes there are many unethical physicians, but majority of physicians still are hard-workers and know way better than you.
The majority of physicians do not prescribe this drug, and even the ones who do prescribe it do not recommend that patients try to obtain it online and self-medicate.
You twisted my meaning into an attack on physicians, which it certainly was not. It was a rejection of a fallacious appeal to authority.
The fact that some physicians recommend something is simply not convincing. It's not hard to find a small number of physicians who would recommend homeopathy either, nor is it hard to find a small number of scientists who reject climate science. A consensus among physicians (or scientists) is what makes an appeal to authority reasonable.
