Last one standing wins.

WT: "Cigarette smoke contains over 4000 different chemicals."
ME: Impossisble! I just dissected one of my KOOLS and there were only 875 bits of toabacco in there...so obviously there CANNOT be 4000 different chemicals in there. What a waste of a good menthol.

THE STRAWDOG FALLACY--sorry I didn't see it...was it a sequel to the original...give me facts, not films.

PW: What about the clubs that distribute it free?
ME: The evil tobacco companies used to have pretty girls give out free samples of cigarettes, before it was made illegal to do so.

PW: I said I don't, didn't say I never. By your pedantic logic, since I never had cancer or AIDS, I shouldn't write about those either. Okee dokey.
Me: In the interest of science, I think that would be a good idea.

| Loved what you said, TT about Sarno's 25 years of direct experience with patients with TMS...It makes him very credible, indeed... |

| I just have to jump in here about Quackwatch. I understand what Dr. Barrett is trying to do and that he thinks he is helping people by steering them away from questionable medical practices. However, it seems obvious to me that he has never been in intractible and unrelenting pain and suffering and cannot put himself in the place of someone who is. I can see both sides of the Quackwatch coin. I have lost thousands of dollars seeking alternative treatments that have not helped me at all. If I had listened to Dr. Barrett, I would be better off financially. However, I felt I had to try everything I possibly could to get some relief from this constant pain. I suppose it is like gambling. You pay your money and you take your chance. Unfortunately, the alternative providers never offer a money back guarantee. |

| Spiderbaby - I think that you have provided a great argument, perhaps unintentionally, in favor of the view that folks should not waste their time with non-evidence based "cures" (unless there are no evidence-based cures - and then only cautiously) and should pay attention to what is said in Quackwatch.....By the way, is your moniker connected to the cult movie with Lon Chaney, Jr? |
