The bible's standard for judging someone is by the harm they've caused. I KNOW that Rick has done me more good than many MDs, some of whom wanted to surgically fuse vertebrae to correct a condition fixed by two weeks of a cup of herbal tea a day (I have used it without any side-effects since '91 or so, going without it for months at a time, then returning to it after injuring myself again), so who, really, is the hazard to society? 
The MDs recent advice to implant a pacemaker did me no good at all, and now I have this chunk of hazardous waste in my chest which they refuse to take out. MDs take a "Hippocratic Oath" to (among other things) "do no harm." Rick more closely adheres to that oath than many of the MDs I've been "treated" by. 
There are good and bad in all professions, of course, and I had my life saved by OMC MDs who intervened when I had a pulmonary embolism,  and I have nothing but good to say about them, either. Rick caused me less harm than some MDs, and did me more good.
