How exactly is that a strawman argument? Bahahahaa! My mistake. When I reread what I wrote here I became totally confused. I couldn't figure out why I said that. Finally I remembered that I had been reading another blog at the same time as this one (I do that when JU server gets really slow). The discu

Good post. I am glad you have toned down your vocabulary too. "Should the 400K earnings of the President of the United States be topped by a rock star or a chief executive of a corporation?" I think that this would stiffle innovation so I don't think that it would be a good idea. The general practice family doctor is almost nonexistant these days. He has been r

Just be thankful that this only happens on a particular day for you. I have an international orginization which has unlimited funds and man-power, whose sole purpose is to make life difficult for me, everyday. I have come to know them as The IHAC, or The I Hate Abe Club.

The first question should be, what is the ethical basis for saying that one person should pay 10X more for the same services as another person? But government isn't a service so it isn't correct to compare it to services like cable is it? <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#F

I think there might be some confusion here about what I meant by psychosomatic. I was not saying that caner is "just in your head" , because that is obviously false. I was saying that what causes cancer to appear in the first place is in your head, and thats why it is often cured by your head. Somewhere out there in some 5th world country is a person with cancer who is about to be cured by a witch doctor.

if only that were true. Don't discount the idea out of hand. Research has been showing that the mind-body connection is far stronger than previously thought.

Reply to australian doctor cures cancer ... 30 years ago in Medical Technology JoeUser Forums

There seems to be 10,001 causes of cancer and 10,001 cures for it (some of which are nuts, but work sometimes). This makes me think that cancer is largely psychosomatic.

"since 1974, dr holt has cured over 300 cancer patients" The important question to ask is 300 out of how many? 3000? More? If he has been doing it since 1974 300 seems to be a low success rate. That isn't to say that his treatment is without merit. Many other researchers have experimented with radio therapy as well. It is more successful than average for some cancers and almost useless for others. People often think of cancer

I feel you pain romeo5000, for I wish that I had a speech-2-blog converter with the added feature of translating inflection and body language. When I am limited to communicating in just words I often come off as aggressively confrontational, rude or whatever—problems which I don’t have in a tête-à-tête (sorry, had to use that term once in my life, it won’t ever happen again ).
