Well, I had another roll-they-eyes response to the local news this morning when they had some doctor on the phone talking about Alzheimer's.
Seems that some drug company has come out with a patch for Alzheimers, and the conversation drifted into what causes Alzheimers.
Of course, he spouted the standard medical line when they don't really know what the cause is.
"Well, we believe it is caused by old age, and is hereditary."
How STUPID are these people?
How STUPID are YOU people for believing that nonsense?
Medical science doesn't know what causes Alzheimers, because THEY DON'T WANT TO KNOW!
... and if they really did know what causes it, THEY WOULDN'T TELL YOU!
Why?
Because they want to sell more DRUGS!
Alzhiemer's is caused by the SAME THING that causes any other illness or abnormality. TOXICITY in the body.
Toxicity is a fancy term for self-poisoning.
We poison ourselves through our lousy diet. Over decades of time, that tocicity accumulates to the point where it causes several "old age" abnormalites.
We poison ourselves with medical drugs. That toxicity accumulates over decades of time until it causes several "old age" abnormalities.
Medical drugs? YES! ALL medical drugs are poisons... designed to kill some little critter in the body... that does not exist to begin with.
ALL illness is caused by toxicity.
It is impossible for a toxic medical drug to cure an illness caused by toxicity in the first place.... which all illnesses are.
When are we going to collectively WAKE UP and stop paying billions of dollars every year to be poisoned?
So, if I go back far enough in history so that there was no real medicine, say about the year 1000, then everyone then lived to be 130? You are on to a truly massive conspiracy! This means all the history books have been altered!
I am highly suspicious of chemo, radiation, etc. because before I would ever consent to it, I would want some kind of prediction as to how long I would be expected to live if I received treatment compared to how long I would be expected to live without treatment.
Hey, I was a preemie too! Congratulations on surviving the deadly medical care! ;)
That works if you are young and healthy
if you are older or do not drink enough water, there have been serious electrolyte problems. Unfortunately, that will not be an option next time, it is being removed from the market.
Thanks for the recommendation. It’ll be another four years or so before I need another colonoscopy, but I will ask for that phospho-soda. I simply cannot tolerate drinking a gallon of salt water, which is what the golytely tastes like to me. I just can’t get it down. To me, drinking that was by far the worst part of the process.
LOL! Scary’s the word, alright!
The grand conspiracy theory breaks down when you consider individual doctors.
There are bad doctors out there — doctors who are more concerned with money than the well being of their patients. But they are the exception rather than the rule.
IF cures to dreaded diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s were known but being hidden so more drugs could be sold, there would be not a few, but many, many doctors objecting and bucking the system to get the victims of these diseases treated and cured.
How many doctors themselves are afflicted with these diseases, or have loved ones afflicted?
Now, I don’t know of any doctor who claims that medicine has all the answers, but what they do do is use the best information available to them at the time to try to maintain and improve their patients’ health.
It was indeed, on both counts.
You’re not old enough.
That’s cause you are being irrational.
What’s with the bizarro posting history anyway?
You’ve been here 6 years and it’s 4 1/2 pages long?
Gaps of years with a few odd posts thrown in?
Is it some kind of sleeper troll account?
What’s your other/previous screenname?
Who the hell are you? The posting-history cop?
Being accused of irrationaltiy by one who brings no credible opposing argument to the table, who resorts to attacking the person because they can’t attack the argument, somehow doesn’t bother me much.
I consider the source.
Posting history is there for all to see and access.
Why are you so touchy about it?
Were all those gaps times you’ve been banned?
You never provided any answer to the questions people have asked you; all you’ve done is attack and disparage- the very thing you’re condemning in others.
I’ve seen other people like the poster, they have generally had a bad experience with medicine/doctors/nurses/insurance/whatever and they look around on the web or in a health-food store and land on this kind of kookery with both feet. Then, they dig into the subject, read some of the more far-out stuff, and then because they have no real knowledge base, they buy into it, identify with the promulgators of these theories, and then try to defend them to the death. If they don’t have any actual conflict in real life, they come to a board like this and start it..
Sigh.
It was a fun thread, until...
L
Like I said, people who resort to attacking the person because they can’t attack the arugument.
Flushing out trolls is fun though,...;)
This is fun folks, but I have other things to do.
If someone wants to bring a credible factual opposing argument, I’ll field it.
Personal attacks... well... consider the source.
