I live in a community on the California coast which is populated by a high proportion of ex-hippies, all lefties and lib-labs, who we refer to as the Nice People. Some are quite middle class and respectable with pricy homes overlooking the Pacific. I have had two women friends die of breast cancer while undergoing quack “natural” treatments. Every third person around here is a “healer” and of course the paranoia is that doctors just want to keep you sick, poison you and cut you for their own profit and the profit of the drug companies, and naturally they think that doctors are suppressing the “real” cures for diseases. California is as nutty as they say, with apologies to the actual reasonable people who live here.
