http://www.faqs.org/ftp/usenet/news.announce.newgroups/misc/misc.health.alternative

This is what the forefather of this newsgroup saw as the "Charter" for
MHA and how it was based upon.  Please note: Non-Technical Consumer
Newsgroup.  "GENERAL NON TECHNICAL." (PRO and CON).

CHARTER
-------

misc.health.alternative is a newsgroup for general non-technical
discussion (pro *and* con) of health care and therapies which are
alternative, complementary, or not commonly accepted by Western
scientific medicine.

Appropriate topics include (but are not limited to): acupuncture,
Alexander technique, alternative cancer therapies, aromatherapy,
ayurveda, chiropractic, color therapy, healing, herbalism, holistic
dentistry, holistic medicine, homeopathy, hypnosis, iridology,
macrobiotics, meditation, megavitamin therapy, midwifery, naturopathy,
natural vision improvement (Bates method, etc.), osteopathy,
radiesthesia, reflexology, shiatsu and do-in, traditional medicine
(Arab, Chinese, Native American, etc.), and yoga.

Flames, name-calling, and abusive behavior in general (from either
side) are not welcome, but constructive criticisms and arguments are
encouraged, with the caveat that misc.health.alternative is to be a
generally non-technical consumer level discussion group.

Is it possible now not to understand the need for peace in here?

Postings of this nature have been made before, this will neither
change
the nature of the posting here nor the need for technical posting
which
are few and far between and not a threat to anything. It is the
details
that we judge any of the proposed alternative or conventional
treatment
modalities useful or not.

I grant it would be nice if Jan and Mark Thorson would just quit
calling each other
names. But this will not happen. The party has been going on for a
decade
plus and the noise to signal ratio seems largely unchanged even as the
player names change.

Yes, it can happen.  Mark Thorson can quit repeating the repeated,

Jan, you always start it.  You cannot expect me to sit
passively when you attack me with false accusations.

That is exactly how you invoke the pummeling you so
richly deserve.

You may wish that you could get away with such
defamation with impunity, but that isn't going
to happen.

If you don't like that, tough cookies.

You may wish to review Stanford University's policy dated 12/15/2005
on "Computer and Network Usage Policy."
It would appear that many of your posts have originated using their
resources and/or equipment including this post you just made.   I
think it is important for all of us to resume the "peace talks" and
get back to the topic of this newsgroup.

Thank you for your time.

Interesting policy from Stanford University and certainly a policy
that makes sense and should be strictly enforced.

With this forum being a non-technical forum, maybe the protocals of
serious scientists do not apply here.  Paid
special interest posters that roam this news group may be free to post
their propoganda without disclosure  that is routine in the scientific
circles but violently opposed here.

That said, I urge all reader to exercise caution: Beware of an agenda
that may NOT be in your best interest when reading some of these
posts.You cannot know who they are coming from or what  affiliation or
interest they may have. Thus, a very biased view may be presented.

I will back off on my request for disclosure since it clearly will not
happen. It is something that I am used to in scientific circles
andexpected other scientists to understand and do the same.
Apparently there is a reason that they will not and it took my some
time to understand the severe resistance by some on this forum. Quite
hostile about it they were.

It pretty much holds true for other universities and colleges because
they are publicly
funded, and also are getting government funds.

I suppose that violators of the policy will be dealt with quite
harshly as it should be.

The problem being, it went right over your head---if you stuck to the
topic of alternative health,
you would clearly understand the thinking.

As far as sh.t goes -- try Hulda Clark's regime of examing one's own
poop---you may see that all that
glitters is not necessarily gold.

Gladly.  You've offered him the opportunity to send a forensic
accountant through your financial records to see if you have any such
ties to the pharmaceutical industry.  You've sweetened the pot by
offering to pay for the accountant and donate $2000.00 to the non-
profit of his choice.

Not surprisingly, he prefers his baseless suspicions to this objective
review of the facts.  I wonder if he'd be so kind as to offer the same
to prove that he hasn't been sent here by big pharma to make pro-alts
seem like dolts.  After all, when asked why he hasn't contributed to
the discussion of health alternatives, he replied "In due time".
Hmmm, no interest in discussing health alternatives, just the
identities of the participants.....

http://groups.google.com/group/misc.health.alternative/msg/310f078a14cdb3e5

<snip for brevity>

No, you don't.  And I don't have to prove my /bona/ /fides/
either -- but you've been pissing all over the newsgroup
about your superior moral position and the degraded state
of anyone daring to disagree with you.

I'm calling your bluff -- and you're weaseling.

To repeat: a licensed CPA to go over my financial records
for the last five years, including tax returns, bank and
investment statements.  If there is any trace of a business
relationship between me and any pharmaceutical company
other than as a customer, I pay for the CPA and $2000 to
the alt-health nonprofit of your choice.

If not, you pay $2000 to the ACSH and pay for the CPA.
Said CPA to hold the stakes.

If you're as sure as you've been posting, you'd jump
at the chance.

Stupid suggestion and not necessary. Why not try something simpler
that does not take tme buy simply answering the questions.

Not baseless unless disclosed

 I wonder if he'd be so kind as to offer the same

I have already in full detail. Go find it.

Projection. You must assume that I am morally superior to you as Y
have neve implied or stated that.Sill statement you make.

> I'm calling your bluff -- and you're weaseling.>

No, just keeping it as simple as it should be. You have complicated it
to make it crzy to do as you proposed.
On the contrary, you are weaseling out of answering.

You ae complicating the issue in order to avoid the issue by your
adsurd recommendations.

Just answere and it is over and easy. You must like complexity and
difficulty.
Plus you moss the point of the whole disclosure issue.

I do not jump at stupid ideas that make absolutely no sense when a
much easier method is available.

Continue the evasive tacticts that you were taught.

Will you really say anything that stupid without being paid to do so?

It is only in the Bizzaro universe where one can be accused of evasion
after inviting a forensic account into one's financial records.

I will Bee.You are right on this one. No need for it. Cosider my wrist
slapped.
However I was just reciting what was originally directed at me
numerous times.Still, it is not my personality to do so.

I woulld love to stick to alternative health. I simply want to know
who  am talking to, their credentials, and any affililiations.
Not very difficult.

I guess I need a CPA., the FBI, CIA an act of congress to do so. Or
maybe a simple post would work just fine.
But that will not happen.

If they do not want to disclose normal data, then so be it. However
there is an
obvious reason other than what has been stated.

I wouldn't  really worry about one of those three letter abbreviations
being able
to help out.  I ran into one of those 3 letter abbreviations at Kinkos
yesterday while working on a presentation. He is a
Christian.   It is kind of like reverse discrimination in here.
Everyone wants
rights but they don't want anyone else to have rights unless ofcourse
the rights
are theirs and we all have to go by their rules.

I'll be attending an alternative health conference in May.  I was
going to attend
one in Iowa City, IA but that is only on massage.  I'm not a massage
therapist
so that one doesn't make a lot of sense.  This one is for healthcare
choice, freedom
to choose, and it actually is a rally.  There are three locations
across the country
hosting the same rally on the same weekend.   Las Vegas, Nevada,
Houston, Texas,
and Kansas City, Missouri.  Haven't made up my mind which one would be
better.  I have
friends in all locations.

Met a woman yesterday whose husband's practice had been shut down by
the Board.  Similar
story to the rest of them.   He is getting into another career;
massage therapy.

I like the story that was in the news about the paid bloggers.  There
was a conference a while back
about limiting the information being presented or posted on the
internet.  I read it on the internet.  Pretty
sad when people try to limit what people write, and what they read.  I
thought America was a democracy.

Unless ofcourse he really isn't the acupuncture therapist that he

Posting 2 and 3 by Jan and Mark Thorson prove my case along

We all have some bias. Most here are overly committed to
