tigger_51_46052@yahoo.com - 04 Sep 2005 21:16 GMT
I'm a journalism student and I am wanting to write an article about
holistic medicine and the people that it has cured. Does anyone know
where I might be able to find someone that has had a very good response
(i.e. something was cured) from holistic medicine to interview? Any
help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

If you don't know what it is, don't waste time.

It is a fair question.  There are many forms of alternative medicine
that are not holistic.
Whatever you think of Homeopathy, Chiropractic, Iridology, Chelation,
or Urine Therapy, they are not holistic.
They are alternative, but they are not holistic.

Few alternative systems look at the whole person, their environment,
their diet, their inherited constitution, and their emotions.

Traditional Chinese Medicine is one of the few systmes that is truly
holistic.

Perhaps "Tigger" would be satisfied with a cure from any alternative
medical system, not just those that are holistic.

I'm sorry I wasn't more clear: I'm looking for someone who has been
cured from an ailment by any kind of alternative medicine, but a more
traditional form of holistic medicine would be even better. I'm
currently learning about these kinds of alternative medicines for my
article, so I'm not an expert on the different kinds. But I do look
forward to talking to anyone who is more of an expert than I am!

Well, if "alternative" medicine worked, it would become real medicine.

You still need to be more specific.  Because my regular ol' doctor says
their Family Medicine Practice is completely holistic because they treat the
WHOLE person --- from ear infections, to psych counseling, pre-natal care,
preventative medicine, birth, well-child visits, blood pressure, family
interactions (like dragging the WHOLE family in to test all of them to find
out which person was giving strep infections around, turned out one kid had
strep with now symptoms and kept re-infecting the rest of the kids), and on
and on... plus with referrels to competent specialists.

Even some folks have trouble defining what certain alternatives are (hint:
homeopathy has nothing to do with herbalism, and it is also not "eastern",
unless someone decided to move Germany to another continent).

Places to start research:

www.medlineplus.gov  (just plugging in the word "holistic" gives you 35
places to look in one section alone)

www.pubmed.gov (plug in the treatment and look for papers on how
effective... most often you can get the full papers from either a municipal
library or local university library, as a reporter you should know how to
use their resources)

www.quackwatch.org  (you may want to sign up for the Healthfraud mailing
list)

I am presently reading a book from my local library, I just finished the
chapter on her adventures with the alternative med. clinics for her
headache.  It was very enlightening... if you just read that chapter it
would give you an idea where to start.  It is _All In My Head: An Epic Quest
to Cure an Unrelenting, Totally Unreasonable, and Only Slightly Enlightening
Headache_ by Paula Kamen,

If you plan to do any writing on health issues you should really register at
www.medscape.com .  It has several papers and commentaries that are not
normally accessible.  Though you can get many of the full papers found at
www.pubmed.gov through a good municipal or university library.

This is one article in Medscape that appeared today that might be of

Jan Drew claims that she almost died of mercury poisoning from
amalgams and that removing the amalgams saved her life. I proved that
this claim was completely bogus and that Jan Drew deliberately changed
her history to make her claim credible. This is why she won't tell her
story. She knows her story is complete bullshit and that I will expose
her claim for the bullshit it is if she tries to make the claim again.

Jan Drew said that before she had her amalgams removed that she was
bedridden and nonfunctional for SEVERAL MONTHS. On June 17-18, 1999
Jan Drew had eight amalgams removed which resulted in a temporary
INCREASE in her mercury level.

On June 26, 1999 Jan Drew reported that she went line dancing and her
feet no longer hurt (or course the pain soon returned since placebo
responses are short lived). Jan Drew went from bedridden and
nonfunctional for several months to line dancing when her mercury
level was likely the highest in her life.

When I point this out to Jan Drew her response is to make a personal
attack. Jan has become so frustrated that she has attempted to harass
me in my personal life by repeatedly posting what she believes to be
my name, business address and phone number. She also admits to trying
to call the number and failing that she admits to calling someone at
the business address to ask about me. Jan DRew is a liar, hypocrite
and a stalker.

For proof that she never had mercury poisoning from amalgams I offer
the following:

>http://tinyurl.com/6n3ax

>>How do I know it was the metal? Because my mercury level was monitored by my

>Jan, do you mind telling us how long it took after you had all the

>>It began the minute some of the mercury was removed.  
>>Jan

Let's see. Jan says that the reason she knows it was the mercury is
because she did not BEGIN to regain her health until her mercury level
dropped. Then she said her health began to be restored the *minute*
some of the mercury was removed.

Then she said that she felt better than she had in two years, hours
later. And just a few months earlier Jan Drew said her body felt good.

So if Jan Drew knows that removing amalgams puts more mercury in the
body and that the mercury level does not decline for about a month
after removal how on earth does she explain going from bedridden and
nonfunctional for SEVERAL MONTHS before the removal of amalgams to
line dancing a week after when her mercury level by her OWN ADMISSION
would have been higher. Jan cannot explain it. All she can do is
attack me.

I guarantee IF Jan Drew responds to this post it will NOT be to refute
any of my claims but to make a personal attack likely by starting a
new thread proving she is a stalker. Just watch.

Rich

Kindly realize that when you post in a newsgroup anyone can answer in
any manner they see fit.

If you are a journalism student, as you claim, you should be interested
in the truth, regardless of the source.

102 Info Gather. If not, withdraw and work at McDonalds while looking
for a good school.

upsetting people by posting, but my prof told me that Google groups
would be a great resource to find someone to interview.
I guess if I've offended everyone, this won't be a good source, huh?

...

I do not think you have offended anyone.  If you have done anything wrong it
was not researching the subject prior to asking.  You asked using a very
broad general term that could mean just about anything.

It takes a little bit of time to find some resources (that are not sales
pitches) to get through the confusing mass of information about medicine and
health (which is why www.medlineplus.gov is a good place to start).  Some
very common errors I have seen in news reports have been the mistaking of
terminology.  Recently a newspaper reported that homeopathy was part of
"Oriental Medicine" --- actually when homeopathy was invented 200 years ago
Germany was still considered part of the "West" (and it still is).  I've
also seen people say that "Oriental Medicine" is the norm in Asia, well
CBS's 60 Minutes last night showed that that is just not true:
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/04/21/60minutes/main689998.shtml

A very entertaining book to read on the subject of alternative medicine and
science is:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0486203948/ ... it was written
in 1957, and it is still relevant for today.
Terri - 05 Sep 2005 22:49 GMT
The only thing about doing the research is that I may get stuck if I'm
too specific. If I say I need someone who's been cured by homeopathy,
there might be no one that I can interview... that kind of thing. That's
the only reason I was trying to not be extremely specific.

Trust me, that is not going to happen.  Even with a term like homeopathy...
many homoepaths cannot agree what is real homeopathy (like is it really
homeopathy if you do not hit the solution with a bible, or shake it a
certain way --- or then there is the whole using multiple remedies
controversy!).

Then there are the homeopaths who actually cheat... scroll down to the
letter of Feb. 7, 2005:
http://www.vetpath.co.uk/voodoo/vettimes5.html#voodoo1

The same thing has also happened with "traditional Chinese remedies", some
contain actual prescription medications, from
http://www.fda.gov/ora/fiars/ora_import_ia6610.html:
" Chinese herbal medications have a history, dating back  to 1974, of
containing strong prescription drugs."

Main Entry: def·i·ni·tion
Pronunciation: "de-f&-'ni-sh&n
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English diffinicioun, from Middle French definition, from
Latin definition-, definitio, from definire
1 : an act of determining; specifically : the formal proclamation of a Roman
Catholic dogma
2 a : a statement expressing the essential nature of something b : a
statement of the meaning of a word or word group or a sign or symbol
<dictionary definitions> c : a product of defining
(www.m-w.com)

In the context from which you quoted me, I provided my definition of
"alternative medicine" in the form of a definition. Please have the courtesy
to do the same, as in "a statement of the meaning of a word". You claim that
you have defined "*organized medicine*" is still a blatant lie until you do
so. All you've done is make vague hints. Here is what "*organized medicine*"
is as suggested by a compilation of those hints:

It is the FDA, the AMA, the pharmaceutical companies, all doctors except the
ones that you "God bless", anyone who speaks ill in any way against any
variant of alternative medicine no matter how vacuous, and anybody in this
newsgroup who makes a statement with which you disagree. Somehow this ragtag
collection of individuals is "organized" to speak as one voice with the
common goal to destroy alternative medicine. We supposedly gain new members
by "brainwashing" everybody who attends medical school or follows a medical
or pharmaceutical research career path.

Well, Jan, you have no evidence whatsoever that such an organization exists
except in your own imaginings and those of your fellow paranoid conspiracy
theorists who believe "whaleto" is a credible source and that the wealth of
information compiled by Dr. Barrett and Peter Bowditch are "all lies".

There is no such organization, Jan. You are lying every time you mention it.
"*Organized medicine*" is no more than a bigoted epithet and is further
evidence of your unChristian black heart.

Hi Mark,

It was actually Lollipop who was telling HCN to shut up. It's just that
her bizarre posting ran together Terri's quote and her own rudeness.

Grilling posters after they have clearly explained twice is offending.

It appears Mark doesn't know the difference between kindly and unkindly.

Insulting people in offending.

Unfortunately the Richard Jacobson that DOES live in Hawaii may not be too

plan

I have shared my story many times. The poster is looking for:

someone who has been *cured* from an ailment by any kind of alternative
medicine.

However, thanks for reminding me.

*IF* you have an unanswered health problem,,,,,,,,CHECK THE TEETH!

NOT by a mainstream dentist, but an Alt. dentist who KNOWS the dangers of
metali n the mouth and root canals, and follows correct protocol.

I did, it saved my life

. Mercury is Poisonous. There is NO safe form of Mercury in living tissue.
The
mercury vapor from dental amalgam alone is a bigger source than all the
other
sources together.

U151 identifies mercury as a toxic waste.Mercury is also recovered from
discarded products and wastes such aschlor-alkali wastes, dental amalgams,
fluorescent light tubes, electronicdevices, and others.

The mercury is vaporized in a retort and collected bycondensation. Condensed
mercury is then distilled to remove impurities.*

The Environmental Protection Agency is working to reduce the amount of
mercury
in the environment

http://www.ehs.ucsf.edu/Manuals/CSM/Csm_Chapter9.htm

17. DENTAL AMALGAM Dental amalgams are mixtures of mercury with silver tin
alloy. Cal-EPAregulates them as ***chemical waste.*** Submit Chemical Waste
Removal Form for its disposal.

>I did, it saved my life

Jan Drew claims that she almost died of mercury poisoning from
amalgams and that removing the amalgams saved her life. I proved that
this claim was completely bogus and that Jan Drew deliberately changed
her history to make her claim credible. This is why she won't tell her
story. She knows her story is complete bullshit and that I will expose
her claim for the bullshit it is if she tries to make the claim again.

Jan Drew said that before she had her amalgams removed that she was
bedridden and nonfunctional for SEVERAL MONTHS. On June 17-18, 1999
Jan Drew had eight amalgams removed which resulted in a temporary
INCREASE in her mercury level.

On June 26, 1999 Jan Drew reported that she went line dancing and her
feet no longer hurt (or course the pain soon returned since placebo
responses are short lived). Jan Drew went from bedridden and
nonfunctional for several months to line dancing when her mercury
level was likely the highest in her life.

When I point this out to Jan Drew her response is to make a personal
attack. Jan has become so frustrated that she has attempted to harass
me in my personal life by repeatedly posting what she believes to be
my name, business address and phone number. She also admits to trying
to call the number and failing that she admits to calling someone at
the business address to ask about me. Jan DRew is a liar, hypocrite
and a stalker.

For proof that she never had mercury poisoning from amalgams I offer
the following:

>http://tinyurl.com/6n3ax

>>Jan

Let's see. Jan says that the reason she knows it was the mercury is
because she did not BEGIN to regain her health until her mercury level
dropped. Then she said her health began to be restored the *minute*
some of the mercury was removed.

Then she said that she felt better than she had in two years, hours
later. And just a few months earlier Jan Drew said her body felt good.

So if Jan Drew knows that removing amalgams puts more mercury in the
body and that the mercury level does not decline for about a month
after removal how on earth does she explain going from bedridden and
nonfunctional for SEVERAL MONTHS before the removal of amalgams to
line dancing a week after when her mercury level by her OWN ADMISSION
would have been higher. Jan cannot explain it. All she can do is
attack me.

I guarantee IF Jan Drew responds to this post it will NOT be to refute
any of my claims but to make a personal attack likely by starting a
new thread proving she is a stalker. Just watch.

No-one needs to trash Jan. She does it to herself with almost every
post she makes.
Nana Weedkiller - 07 Sep 2005 03:50 GMT
Sorry about that, Johnny.  Jan is our resident Kook on the newsgroup and
she sees Teddy everywhere. Just last month she accused CHealth of being
Ted.

Stick around. Your input is welcome here.

Nana, thank you for your kind words.
Why does Jan think that everyone here is only here to attack her?
I don't know what is wrong with Jan, but I wish she would choke to
death on her anger.

Jan, why are you the greatest threat to alternative medicine?  Why do
you seek to destroy it with your "advocacy"?
Why do you post so often but almost never discuss alternative medicine?

I think that if anyone is paid to post here, it must be her.  Nobody
posts are often and nobody does as much harm to the cause of
alternative medicine.

She is mentally ill not to mention a bigot, hypocrite and liar.

>I don't know what is wrong with Jan, but I wish she would choke to

Jan is completely out of touch with her anger. She thinks everyone who
disagrees with her is angry at her.

>Jan, why are you the greatest threat to alternative medicine?  Why do
>you seek to destroy it with your "advocacy"?
>Why do you post so often but almost never discuss alternative medicine?

Jan Drew is incapable of any discussion. She will prove it in her
response to my post. She is guaranteed to start a new thread attacking
me. Jan Drew has been stalking me for years. She repeatedly posts what
she believes to be my name, business address and phone number. She
admits to trying to call me at the number and failing that she admits
to trying to call someone else at the address asking about me. She is
a very disturbed woman.

>I think that if anyone is paid to post here, it must be her.  Nobody
>posts are often and nobody does as much harm to the cause of
>alternative medicine.

Jan Drew is really not interested in promoting alternative medicine as
much as she is out to demonize conventional medicine. She is very
angry at conventional medicine because they did not indulge her in her
somatic hypervigilance.

Aloha,

Rich

LOL. I have Nana killfile, but wonder of  all wonders, you are talking to

Gee, should a mystery.

My word, that sounds ever so much like an attack.

You wonder why Jan thinks every one here is only here to attack her.

It seems this looking for someone turned in to a *hate Jan thread*

> Jan, why are you the greatest threat to alternative medicine?  Why do
> you seek to destroy it with your "advocacy"?
> Why do you post so often but almost never discuss alternative medicine?

Why have you not answered my questions, Teddy?

> I think that if anyone is paid to post here, it must be her.  Nobody

It that right?

Have you counted everyones' posts?

Don't forget to answer.

and nobody does as much harm to the cause of
> alternative medicine.

Be specific.

Do show us exactly what your opinion is of how I have harm the cause of
alternative medicine.

Now don't forget to answer.

You are falling behind on your list.

Here it is again.

I wonder why you post so frequently yet

> so seldom discuss alternative medicine.

You don't say?

You wouldn't wonder that about, say, Mark Probert? Richard H Jacobson?  Mark
Thorson? Or any of your buddies, would you Teddy? Now don't forget to
answer.

After you answer that, could you show us exactly where there were any words
of harm, rage and wrath, and shameful behavior in this thread?

Now don't forget to answer.

Did I mention, not to forget to answer?

I'll wait.

Jan

Because Jan Drew is paranoid. She is a stalker who believes that
people are out to get her and she responds by trying to get them
first. She is a real sicko. She has been trying to stalk me for years.

Jan gets upset when someone e-mails her but it is fine and dandy for
her to telephone posters here without their permission. It is fine for
Jan to call others to ask about posters here. But Jan Drew is not a
stalker. Jan Drew is not predatory. Sure!!

>> I don't know what is wrong with Jan, but I wish she would choke to

Of course it does since Jan DRew is paranoid.

>You wonder why Jan thinks every one here is only here to attack her.

Of course. Jan DRew is paranoid. She thinks that there is a gang that
is trying to attack her. She believes in evil organized medicine. She
believes that people who don't share her religious beliefs are led by
Satan. Paranoia does not get much more extreme than it does with Jan
DRew.

>> Jan, why are you the greatest threat to alternative medicine?  Why do
>> you seek to destroy it with your "advocacy"?
>> Why do you post so often but almost never discuss alternative medicine?
>

Here Jan Drew is showing how manipulative she is. She answers a
question with a question.

>> I think that if anyone is paid to post here, it must be her.  Nobody
>> posts are often
>
>It that right?
>
>Have you counted everyones' posts?

Again Jan is showing how manipulative she is by diverting with
nonsensical questions.

>Don't forget to answer.

Here Jan is showing her problem with control and the need to have
everyone answer her questions.
.

>Do show us exactly what your opinion is of how I have harm the cause of
>alternative medicine.
>
>Now don't forget to answer.

Again.

Again.

Notice again how manipulative Jan Drew is. When asked about her seldom
discussing alternative medicine Jan Drew changes the subject to
others. This is a repeated pattern of hers.

>Now don't forget to answer.
>
>Did I mention, not to forget to answer?
>
>I'll wait.

Not only will she wait but she will obsessively ask the questions over
and over and over again.

Jan is paranoid, obsessive and predatory. She is the very stalker that
she accuses others to be.

Aloha,

Rich

Stephen Barrett -  Professional Crackpot from quackwatch.org

The Internet needs health information it can trust. Stephen Barrett doesn't
provide it...

Barrett is one of those people whose ambitions and opinions of himself  far
exceeds his abilities.  Without ANY qualifications he has set himself up as
an expert in just about everything having to do with health care - and more.

And this from a man who is a professional failure.

Records show that Barrett never achieved any success in the medical
profession.  His claim to being a "retired Psychiatrist" is laughable.  He
is, in fact, a "failed Psychiatrist," and a "failed MD."

The Psychiatric profession rejected Barrett years ago,  for Barrett could
NOT pass the examinations necessary to become "Board Certified."  Which, is
no doubt why Barrett was, throughout his career, relegated to lower level
"part time" positions.

Barrett, we know, was forced to give up his medical license in Pennsylvania
in 1993 when his "part-time" employment at the State Mental Hospital was
terminated, and he had so few (nine) private patients during his last five
years of practice, that he couldn't afford the Malpractice Insurance
premiums Pennsylvania requires.

In a job market in the United States, where there is a "doctor shortage,"
Stephen Barrett, after his termination by the State mental Hospital,
couldn't find employment.  He was in his mid-50s at the time.  He should
have been at the top of his craft - yet, apparently, he couldn't find work.

It is obvious, that, after one humiliation after another, in 1993 Barrett
simply gave up his medical aspirations,  turned in his MD license, and
retreated, in bitterness and frustration, to his basement.

It was in that basement, where Barrett took up "quackbusting" - which, in
reality, means that Barrett attacks "cutting-edge" health professionals and
paradigms - those that ARE achieving success in their segment of health
care.

And there, in "quackbusting" is where Barrett finally found the attention
and  recognition he seems to crave - for, a while, that is, until three
California Judges, in a PUBLISHED Appeals Court decision, took a HARD look
at Barrett's activities, and declared him "biased, and unworthy of
credibility."

Bitterness against successful  health professionals is Barrett's hallmark.
To him they're all "quacks."  In this, his essays are repetitive and
pedestrian.

Barrett, in his writings,  says the same things, the same way, every time -
change the victim and the subject, and still you yawn your way through his
offerings.  It's like he's filling out a form somebody gave him...

Take an overactive self importance, couple it with glaring failure and
rejection in his chosen profession, add a cup of molten hatred for those
that do succeed, pop it in the oven - and out comes Stephen Barrett -
self-styled "expert in everything."

Barrett, we know, along with his website, is currently named, among other
things, in a racketeering (RICO) case in Federal Court in Colorado.

He's also being sued for his nefarious activities in Ontario, Canada.

Barrett, in the Canadian case, has formally admitted, according to Canadian
law, to a number of situations put to him by the Plaintiff, including:

"The sole purpose of the activities of Barrett & Baratz are to discredit and
cause damage and harm to health care practitioners, businesses that make
alternative health therapies or products available, and advocates of
non-allopathic therapies and health freedom."

"Barrett has interfered with the civil rights of numerous Americans, in his
efforts to have his critics silenced."

"Barrett has strategically orchestrated the filing of legal actions in
improper jurisdictions for the purpose of frustrating the victims of such
lawsuits and increasing his victims costs."

"Barrett failed the exams he was required to pass to become a Board
Certified Medical Doctor."
