A Better Mousetrap for the Consumers

On Jan 7, 10:32 pm, Mark wrote: l). Having earned my medical degree from the University of Kentucky (and thankfully, never having encountered "Dr." Boyd Hayley), I can only state the obvious: nutjobs can crawl out of the woodwork anywhere. Aus has its Carole, Kentucky has its Boyd...even Costa Rica has its [wipe the slime from my keyboard] Ilena, and Indiana, home of James Dean, has its Jan. None of this means that Kentucky, Indiana, Costa Rica or Australia have lost all sensible thought. It just means that these places tolerate the cranks and the "problem children" rather than just stuffing them in a place where they would be relegated to jabbering at each other ad nauseum...we're a compassionate bunch, I should say. Let us celebrate our tolerance of those unfortunate enough to have been born lacking the gene that codes for rational thought. Mark, I still haven't made up my mind on this controversial subject of vaccines; due to the fact that special ingredient is still contained in flu shots. Let's do this step by step for you. There are people who claim that the preservative, Thimerosal, a form of ethyl mercury, caused autism. Some of them went so far to claim that there is an epidemic of autism cause by Thimerosal. Their proof was based on the increasing caseloads of the CDDS. This was their gold standard of proof. Then, the FDA ordered that Thimerosal be removed from childhood vaccines, and, by 2002 there were virtually no Thimerosal vaccines left. Childhood vaccines came in Thimerosal free formulations. The next step was to watch the CDDS caseloads. As David Kirby, a paid for author of the anti-vaccinationsts said, if the numbers do not decrease, the argument for the link is in trouble. He did move the goalposts a few times. Now, the key numbers to watch are the 3-5 year old birth cohort since this is the age range where Autism is most commonly diagnosed. Accordingly, if Thimerosal caused autism, or triggered a pre-disposition these numbers should go down when Thimerosal was removed. The study found that the numbers did not go down. In fact, the study found that the numbers contiued to rise. Simply put, there is no link between injected mercury salts and autism. Period. Take all the time to make up your mind. You probably have not accepted the fact that the earth is round However, what I would like to propose to all of you "scientific minds" (as you so like to claim you have), is that consumers know what exactly is in the vaccine that they are getting so that they can make a responsible choice with their physician whether to take the vaccine or not. I'd like to see a Material Data Safety Sheet on every ingredient in the vaccine, and some accountability from doctors such as yourself, so if you propose that XXXX vaccine is the the right drug of choice, that you are held accountable for your actions if the person were to die or get sick from that vaccine. Keeping in the same lines, I'd like to see a doctor have to put his malpractice insurance information on a sheet, given to the consumer PRIOR to the doctor or nurse giving the vaccine, so there is some kind of documentation that will assume 100% responsibility that if in the future that this vaccine contains dangerous chemicals that you, or your employer will take full responsibility. Along the lines that chemical manufacturer's must do today, naming the ingredients of their product. As a consumer advocate, unless you are willing to "put up," then instead of making the nasty cracks you have made against individuals that do not share your opinion, a great option for you would be to be adult enough and professional enough not to make the cracks you have made towards the consumers you have named, as if you feel you are way better than they are. Consumers have the right to question your credentials, your ethics, and your opinions. You aren't "all that and a bag of potato chips too." All products that consumers buy should have some kind of warranty, and vaccines should be included. What a wonderful opportunity for a consumer group, like Quackwatch that openly states that they are to want to protect the public, and get themselves involved for making sure that a MSDS sheet is available for the consumer, and making doctors like yourself have to take potential risks. When you, and the rest of your scientific minded individuals are willing to put up this kind of documentation to the consumer, let me know. Then, only then, will those with "scientific minds" that claim that vaccines are the right choice, will be accountable for their actions. Would it be possible that there was another magic ingredient in those vaccines that the public is not aware of? Kentucky? isn't that where Ken Ham set up camp, after he left Australia? By the way, who funded that study? List the company, and those that supported it. Thank you. |

"Carole" wrote in message
... "Peter Moran" wrote in message . I cannot agree that this is so. Most societies work hard at having a well-educated population. And the wise person does understand their own limitations. When I have a urological or orthopoedic problem I defer to experts in those fields. I believe in education, the more the better. However, what has happened today, in our society, is that education has been hijacked by vested interests, same with research. All forms of science are now corrupted. And the problem is that most of the educated ones just go along with the system. Well it is interesting that one of the most common complaints among critics of alt.med is that the education system produces people with such poor understanding of science, and so little in the way of critical thinking skills, that they are a sitting target for frauds and quacks. So who are these vested interests? People should think for themselves because the experts aren't always right and often get used by vested interests to push for dubious purposes. That is true, but it applies equally (at minimum) to those pushing alternative theories and products (including yourself). That is true, there are plenty is charlatans and misguided people in alternative medicine. Whence the assumption that they can be trusted ? Any decision still has to be based upon the available evidence, and if you dismiss the evidence of one side as always tainted you are simply responding to your own biases. Mostly alt.med is the leavings of the mainstream, theories that have been well tried out and found wanting. Do you ever take the pains to try and understand why they have been dropped? The reason some alternative remedies are dropped isn't because they don't work, but rather they don't fit the mindset of the ruling elite. If you mean that they are superceded because of better understanding of illness or human health, that sometimes happens. For example the idea of the colon as a "cesspool" needing cleansing began within the mainstream to explain certain illnesses. As other explanations were found for many of those illnesses the idea fell into disrepute and it now persists only within alternative medicine. We also now undertand what toxins are produced in the colon and how they are removed by the liver and how they only cause problems in those with seriously impaired liver function. We also know how difficult it is to actually keep the colon "clean". All these things feed into what you choose to regard as a "mindset". Similar reasoning can be applied to other alt.med anachronisms. Anything that challenges their supremacy is a threat and put down. So doctors just don't care about their patients? Why would you assume that because therapies are dropped because they don't work? I know exactly why they are dropped and it is for a combination of reasons. Partly that is because they don't work noticeably, or they have been put to proper clinical study. If they obviously worked they would not have been dropped regardless. What we can fault some for is the arrogant assurance that their own half-baked medical beliefs are undoubtedly correct and their refusal to even look at overwhelmingly contrary evidence. The thiomerosal-autism things is only the latest of many dearly held alt theories that have been proved wrong, but that doesn't seem to register either.. I haven't got "arrogant assurance", what I've got is reasoned belief rather than taking at face value everything from "experts" and "reliable sources" But you are taking heaps of matters "at face value" about cell salts. Science offers you ways of ensuring that making sure you are not fooling yourself (meaning that the effects you think you observe are placebo- related). The main difference between the mainstream and alternative medicine lies therein. I don't cellsalts at face value. I've tried different alternative remedies, but cellsalts delivers what it claims. Also cellsalts are scientific. There are plenty of studies to show that minerals are needed for vital functions and general wellbeing. The difference between you and me is that if I feel a bit anxious I will take calcium supplements, whereas you will take valium. No I won't take anything. It is a normal part of life. If I get underarm odour I will take silica tablets, but you will spray on some deodorant, etc. Do you think that valium is an essential ingredient needed by the body, or that underarm deodorant is anything but a coverup? I know with a high degree of certainty that in the examples you are mentioning the agents used are working as placebo -- that you would be unable to tell any difference if you were given a placebo instead and you didn't realise it. There is no shame in that, and nothing much wrong with that, except when you translate your experiences into a scientific judgement and start accusing the medical profession of underhand behaviour if they don't share your views. We are assuming you are sincere in your beliefs, and we should be entitled to similar consideration in return. PM Carole www.cellsalts.net PM who are, either wittingly or unwittingly, serving the interests of various cartels, where science is twisted and incomplete with all concept of the ether being removed. In a world where knowledge is power, they prefer to keep the people in the dark -- so much easier to control that way. Carole www.cellsalts.net PM |
