Wow...I had no idea that as a microbiologist and MRSA researcher I was a sorceror! I’ll have to try out my new, cool powers.
Really...STFU.
ROTFLMAO!!!! It IS the eye of the hildabeest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did he get banned, or just wander off? The forum is a little less colourful without him.
Phantom lord -- Show us the conviction of your beliefs. Go to the zoo and climb into the lions den.
It is written. Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy. If the Lord my God tells me to clime into a lions den I will gladly do it. After all, I used to ride on the backs of Bengal tigers when I was a child. I do not need to demonstrate my "conviction" to non-believers and I don't need to live in fear just because you do.
New Age movement? ARen't those the types that believe in holistic medicine and not vaccinations, drugs and snake oil?
Is your post an opus?
Yup. I caught mine in a Hospital.
It is just my opinion. You don't like it don't read it.
Same goes for you, too.
That doesn't make you immune from criticism or disagreement. I'm not sure what else you'd expect, actually.
Sheesh ... it frightens me to no end to think that you may be homeschooling. Please seek help.
Prior to that comment, I thought you were a kook. Now I know you are a kook.
You see for many, many years antibiotics were given out like candy by irresponsible MD's to anyone who had a sniffle and this practice is now coming to bite us all collectively in our behinds.
Bacteria mutates (as do viruses and other forms of microbes). They change themselves to become resistant to the drugs used to destroy them. That's exactly what MRSA is. For years the bacteria stapholococus aureus was treated with penicillin and then methicillin. The bacteris mutated to become resistant to methicillin and hence: MRSA.
And there's also VRSA (Vancomycin resistant staph aureus) as the MRSA is mutating to be resistant to Vancomycin - the very powerful antibiotic used to treat MRSA.
I have some personal experience with MRSA btw. It basically caused my Dad's death. I firmly believe that had he not become infected with MRSA he would have lived.
Actually most of the gains have been due to the decline in infant mortality. Take a look at the people you know from the founding era (These are adults. You didn't get a chance to learn about the children.) and you will see that most lived to a ripe old age.

I'm glad they know it exists and what the treatment is, or else it's likely he would die from it.
well, I’m really not sure about all your ranting, but since you say it works.... why don’t you say some prayers for my sister who was just diagnosed with breast cancer.
It killed my mother at the age of 42. My sister just turned 49. So, if you want to help, pray for her and stop ranting.
It's a little reassuring to have to wait a bit sometimes. However, the last time I was in the ER, I was rather cranky about the fact that they were not impressed by the golf tee protruding from my heel.
I was pretty impressed by it.
Bears apparently are the better fighter over lions. I read that they pitted lions against grizzlies in California and invariably the lion went for the bears throat and the bear swatted the lion so hard that the lions skull was crushed.
That doesn't indicate which cage, lion or bear, gives you your best chance of survival though. If the test was which animal kills humans the fastest or most frequently, you could get entirely different results.
Whoa. Good catch there with Luke still calling himself a physician!
Please no personal attacks on FR unless the poster REALLY IS NUTS which he is!
Disclaimer: Yes, I let my kids play in the dirt as long as it isn't known to be contaminated dirt (especially cattle droppings -- anthrax). This is a good thing.
You don't know that. Maybe he can afford it.
If I could afford to not have insurance, I wouldn't. I remember the day when even liablility insurance for your car wasn't "required" (at least in my state of Oklahoma). You either bought it or signed a paper saying you could afford to pay if you got into an accident that was your fault.
My dear departed step-dad used to say "paying for insurance is like paying protection to the mob". I guarantee that he only bought as much insurance as was required by law. Like EndWelfareToday - he didn't need it.
