As we all know, all medicines are poisons.  Otherwise they would be
nutrients.

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

How do you classify:
* iron
* potassium
* sodium
* silica

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

Speaking for myself only, I'm quite dependent on the same stuff
that's used for execution by lethal injection.

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.

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.

OK -- but in that case what happens if I call capsaicin a nutrient?
Does it stop being a poison?  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?

Of course! Isn't Vitamin B17 a nutrient?

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.

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.

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.

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.

If I hadn't seen "Dr" Cee at work before I would assume that this is a
joke.

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.

"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.

From what institution did you obtain a Ph.D. in chemistry, and when?

Sure, but maybe the antibiotics do something to enhance nutrition.
Even Scudamore used to admit antibiotics worked, though I don't know
if he still does.
