Just prove to me that you can poison an ill person into becoming healthy.

I suppose I should have been more clear that the question was in the context of your earlier statement (quoted) that things which are not poisons are nutrients. So are the above (in bioavailable forms, or whatever Carole uses for silica) poisons?

Carole is using the above materials as "nutrients." By definition they are not poisons.

If not, what do you say of the various alternative health practitioners who prescribe it? Are they in with the AMA in your black book?
Can I render anything non-poisonous by calling it a "nutrient," such as cyanide?

However, as Paracelcius (?) stated "the dose makes the poison" which means simply that if administered correctly the poison may not kill but will elicit some action like regurgitation, diarrhea or some other phenomena for which the allopath can charge a fortune for their time and for the poison. The most expensive poison that I have heard of is in the area of cancer, and I think it is Neulasta, costs around $6,000 per shot. Of couse the "global fee" for cancer treatment locally is now $1,000,000. People will soon be upping their insurance to the 2MM dollar level or higher to keep up with the greed of the docs.

> Anything that is a "true" poison for which there is no known > beneficial use in a living organism, is a poison when given at any > level or concentration. Nice attempt to dodge the questions. I gave particulars precisely to avoid circular generalizations like the above. Once again, are the following poisons by your definition: * iron * potassium * sodium * silica -- and I'll add, since we're headed that way: * cyanaide * caffeine

I get it. Like a coffee enema, which is a toxic preparation administered in an unnatural fashion in order that the body reject it violently.

Thanks for bringing that up. As you point out, the number of cancer patients worldwide is diminishing dramatically. At $1E6 per patient, Pfizer has to make its $1.2E9 income from oconology drugs from only 1200 patients worldwide. As you point out, this is headed towards coming from only 600 patients so there is, according to you, dramatic progress being made on cancer.

Richard Schultz - 24 Jan 2008 20:45 GMT :> How do you classify: :> * iron :> * potassium :> * sodium :> * silica
: They are are metals, with a valence of zero. Exposed to water or : oxygen, Iron can rust, potassium will burn, sodium will burn, and : silica just lays there. Silica is not a metal, and neither of its components has a valence (more properly, oxidation state) of zero. Moreover, iron rusts in the presence of oxygen, water acting as a catalyst; and when potassium or sodium is placed in water, it is the hydrogen liberated by the reaction that burns, not the potassium or sodium. Whatever your Ph.D. is in, it's obviously not chemistry.

Uhh, dufus Slutz, check the definition of "burn" or "to burn."
DrCee BS, MS, PhD, all in chemistry, so suck it up.

Someone points out some facts about chemistry to it and it goes straight ahead and demonstrates its ignorance again.
Come on, Cee, explain in detail how a hydrogen flame is really a sodium flame.

Not just any "someone" either -- a professor of chemistry and, unlike "Cee," someone whose thesis we really can look up.
Well, that and one who doesn't wave his ignorance of basic chemistry like a personal identifier.

Actually, Cee is fond of demonstrating his ignorance across a wide range of subjects, not just chemistry.

: Uhh, dufus Slutz, check the definition of "burn" or "to burn." "Burn" is usually defined as "rapid oxidation accompanied by production of a flame." Neither potassium nor sodium burns when exposed to water or oxygen. Why don't *you* check the definitions of "metal" and "valence"? When you do, you'll discover that silica is not a metal and neither of its components has a valence of zero.
