Would you rather the "holistic healer" who says only drinking green juice for a week to "detox" your kidneys make laws? Or the person who actually went to med school for 12 years.

I don't trust either. several doctors are frauds desbite medical school. Just look at antivax sometime, they will cite real doctors (mixxed with things the 'holistic healer' made up) and to tell you how to find an antivax doctor to write up -our medical exemption from vaccines.

If you don't trust professionals or experts in their field then there's no reason to have a discussion on this.

This is just throwing out the baby with the bath water. You really think the proportion of "frauds" is the same among doctors and among holistic healers?

No, but I think frauds will be over represented in politics.
