The sister-in-law is deep into alternative medicine and just loves Mercola, a lying liar who tells lies. She posted some link to an alternative medicine thing about cancer and said, "Touchy subject, but amen. I want everyone to know there are alternatives, as crazy as it sounds." I had to try very very hard not to directly troll her, content, instead, with posting an article about geocentrism on my own wall and saying there are alternatives to heliocentrism.
