We referred clients to Dr. Hammesfahr in Clearwater to treat headaches after MVA's.

Fine. I've read the description of his proposed treatment for stroke, and it actually worsens the effects. The extremely high blood pressure of the stroke event is a symptom of the problem, not the actual problem itself; lowering the blood pressure greatly increases the brain tissue affected by oxygen deprivation.

Congressman Bill Young nominated Dr. Hammesfahr for a Nobel Prize and in addition, somewhere I have a copy of his CV.

Anyone can write a recommendation for a Nobel Prize; it does not indicate that he actually should be awarded one.

He's held press conferences at Hospice Woodside re: Terri.

WOW! HE HELD A PRESS CONFERENCE! THAT MUST MEAN HE'S A GOOD GUY!

Clinton held press conferences, too. Heck, so has Michael Schiavo!

I have seen Terri's REAL MRI SCANS.

And your qualifications to read and interpret those MRI scans are...

Terri's parents have the best of intentions

"The extremely high blood pressure of the stroke event is a symptom of the problem, not the actual problem itself; lowering the blood pressure greatly increases the brain tissue affected by oxygen deprivation."

Wrong on both counts. High blood pressure is often a DIRECT cause of strokes. Lowering the BP in these cases is the FIRST thing to be done. It is only lowering the BP too much in the presence of athero/aterio/carotid stenosis that would cause an increase of anoxic brain tissue.
