You seem to be assuming a degree of knowledge about medicine that most humans do not have the time, ability or resources to obtain. You also seem to be attacking a strawman argument. I haven’t argued that “you are best off submitting to whatever treatment has managed to make (or buy) its way into being the default mainstream practice” but rather that actively lying to doctors is a bad idea. And I’d extend that to any other common profession that involves expertise. Lying to your lawyer? Bad idea? Lying to your car mechanic? Bad idea. This isn’t an argument related to the apparently high status of doctors. But simply put, most of us do not have the resources to investigate every single detail (just as we can’t all be competent lawyers or car mechanics or plumbers), and actively lying to those people will frequently create problems.
