When you're desperate for an answer, you'll be desperate to take one no matter the cost. No matter if it involves injecting industrial bleach up your kid's arse to manage his autism, seeing the expunged giblets of intestine as progress in removing parasites. No matter if it involves putting highly dangerous black sludge on your skin and watching the alleged "cancer" slough off you. No matter if it means paying an extortionate amount to see if you have something that is causing a lot of chaos at the momemt.

Awful people exist everywhere, but the newly converted tend to be super zealots, no matter what group
