Well, in this case, I am specifically thinking of the example of getting myself well when doctors told me it could not be done. I think doctors (and the rest of the world) focus on the really complicated and convoluted tertiary (and whatever "fourth" would be called) effects of not addressing the real problem for years and years and years. I found that addressing the real problem at it's root is, conceptually, not terribly complicated. But then trying to understand/explain/execute...yadda yadda....gets pretty complicated at times. But it's really a very simple idea: I have a genetic disorder. We know what malfunctions in my body at the cellular level. Address THAT appropriately and aggressively, and a lot of the really complicated secondary, tertiary (etc) problems just magically disappear.

This idea goes over so well that I get called a liar, charlatan and snakesoil salesman to my face. And moderators side with the folks who attack me.

Welp, time to work on a webcomic or some such and let folks who think the problem is just too freakin hard to resolve keep raising big bucks for the CF foundation. It seems to be okay to monetize an entertainment site. :-D

Later.
