"Anth" wrote in message ... What is quackery? just another pharma organisation disguised as independent quackhunters "The War Against Quackery is a carefully orchestrated, heavily endowed campaign sponsored by extremists holding positions of power in the orthodox hierarchy.....The mutimillion-dollar campaign against quackery was never meant to root out incompetent doctors; it was, and is, designed specifically to destroy alternative medicine...The millions were raised and spent because orthodox medicine sees alternative, drugless medicine as a real threat to its economic power. And right they are...the majority of the drug houses will not survive."--Dr Atkins, M.D. (The Healing of Cancer by Barry Lynes). http://www.whale.to/p/quacks.html |

Simple solution, tape it divx it and put the divx file up.
I will even mirror the file on my site if you wish. (assuming it isn't too big) Anth "Peter Bowditch" wrote in message ...

"Anth" wrote in message ... What is quackery? Anth First class definition here... http://www.wordiq.com/definition/Quackery Quote: Definition of Quackery Quackery is the practice of fraudulent medicine, usually in order to make money or for ego gratification and power. Those who practice quackery are called "quacks" and are in the business of selling false hope to gullible people who may be genuinely suffering. Most would consider such a practice highly unethical. It is often difficult to distinguish between practitioners who are knowingly fraudulent and those who are merely deluded as to their own effectiveness. In libel cases in US courts against people who accused others of being guilty of quackery, the courts have ruled that accusing someone of quackery or calling him/her a quack is not equal to calling him/her a fraud - that in order to be both a quack and a fraud, the quack has to know that the medical services provided are unproven and ineffective. It continues... |
