Study links vaccine to autism

A new study shows that autism may be linked after all
to the use of mercury in childhood vaccines, despite
government's previous claims to the contrary.

An article in the March 10, 2006, issue of the Journal
of American Physicians and Surgeons shows that since
mercury was removed from childhood vaccines, the
alarming increase in reported rates of autism and
other neurological disorders (NDs) in children not
only stopped, but actually dropped sharply - by as
much as 35 percent.

Using the government's own databases, independent
researchers analyzed reports of childhood NDs,
including autism, before and after removal of
mercury-based preservatives. Authors David A. Geier,
B.A. and Mark R. Geier, M.D., Ph.D. analyze data from
the CDC's Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System
(VAERS) and the California Department of Developmental
Services (CDDS) in "Early Downward Trends in
Neurodevelopmental Disorders Following Removal of
Thimerosal-Containing Vaccines."

The numbers from California show that reported autism
rates hit a high of 800 in May 2003. If that trend had
continued, the reports would have skyrocketed to more
than 1000 by the beginning of 2006. But in fact, the
Geiers report that the number actually went down to
only 620, a real decrease of 22 percent, and a
decrease from the projections of 35 percent.

This analysis directly contradicts 2004
recommendations of the Institute of Medicine which
examined vaccine safety data from the National
Immunization Program (NIP) of the CDC. While not
willing to either rule out or to corroborate a
relationship between mercury and autism, the IOM
soft-pedaled its findings, and decided no more studies
were needed. The authors write: "The IOM stated that
the evidence favored rejection of a causal
relationship between thimerosal and autism, that such
a relationship was not biologically plausible, and
that no further studies should be conducted to
evaluate it."

As more and more vaccines were added to the mandatory
schedule of vaccines for children, the dose of the
mercury-based preservative thimerosal rose, so that
the cumulative dose injected into babies exceeded the
toxic threshold set by many government agencies.
Mercury is known to damage nerve cells in very low
concentrations.

The concern about vaccines may actually be underrated,
as it is generally acknowledged that the voluntary
reporting of such disorders has resulted in vast
underreporting of new cases. For example, the Iowa
state legislature banned thimerosal from all vaccines
administered there after it documented a 700-fold
increase in that state alone. California followed
suit, and 32 states are considering doing so.

Up until about 1989 preschool children got only 3
vaccines (polio, DPT, MMR). By 1999 the CDC
recommended a total of 22 vaccines to be given before
children reach the 1st grade, including Hepatitis B,
which is given to newborns within the first 24 hours
of birth. Many of these vaccines contained mercury. In
the 1990s approximately 40 million children were
injected with mercury-containing vaccines.

The cumulative amount of mercury being given to
children in this number of vaccines would be an amount
187 times the EPA daily exposure limit.

The Geiers conclude that mercury continues to be a
concern, as it is still added to some of the most
commonly-used vaccines, such as those for flu.

Despite its removal from many childhood vaccines, thimerosal is still
routinely added to some formulations of influenza vaccine administered to
U.S. infants, as well as to several other vaccines (e.g. tetanus-diphtheria
and monovalent tetanus) administered to older children and adults. In 2004,
the Institute of Medicine (IOM) of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences
(NAS) retreated from the stated 1999 goal of the AAP and the PHS to remove
thimerosal from U.S. vaccines as soon as possible.As a result, assessing the
safety of TCVs [thimerosal-containing vaccines] is a matter of significant
importance."
Editor's Note: The new study confirms claims made by Dr. Russell Blaylock in
the Blaylock Wellness Report that childhood vaccines that contain
thimerosal, a mercury based preservative, could cause serious harm to
children, including autism. Dr. Blaylock has also warned that vaccines for
adults, such as the flu shot, pose dangers.

Not a well-respected journal. The analysis is suspect, at best. They
used the slope of lines to determine whether or not there was a change
in the incidence of autism. I have never seen this methodology before.
However, the incidence of autism continued to rise through the end of
2005, after mercury was removed from vaccines. By 2001, vaccines were no
longer made that had mercury in them, so one would expect to see a
reduction in autism incidence by 2005.

Further, babies excrete mercury from vaccines more quickly than thought:

What a load of bullocks.

What the data shows is that ethylmercury, the organic mercury in
thimerosal, is rapidly depleted from the blood, but irreversably
deposited in the tissues and brains of the infants.

This paper is typical of the medical fraternity and demonstrates just
how incompetent they are to publish scientific data of any value.

Show us how much mercury was injected, show us how much was left in
the blood, then show us how much mercury came out in the urine and
feces.  The remainder is still in the infants.

How can anyone look at these fools as medical gods when they publish
such garbage.

"Data:" that word doesn't mean what you think it does.

Of course, if you have an actual *source* (besides your own
paranoid hallucinations) for the half-life of ethylmercury in
the brain, by all means post it.

Or, in the case of monkeys, take samples from the brain and
measure it.  Of course, you've previously denied that animal
models are relevant to human health.

So what?

From
http://www.webmd.com/brain/autism/news/20080130/vaccine-mercury-leaves-blood-fast
--- quote ---
One of the few researchers who studies the effects of ethyl mercury is
Thomas Burbacher, PhD, professor of environmental and occupational
health sciences and director of the infant primate research lab at the
National Primate Research Center, University of Washington, Seattle. <...>
"Just because it came out of the blood doesn't mean it is excreted from
the body. It could have gone to the brain," Burbacher tells WebMD.
"Although total mercury levels in the blood are lower following
thimerosal exposure [than following methyl mercury exposure], mercury in
the blood from thimerosal has an easier time getting to the brain than
methyl mercury."

Actually, that's incorrect. Ethyl mercury is pumped OUT of the brain.

It might get to the brain, but it doesn't get INTO the brain.

Mercury neurotoxicity: mechanisms of blood-brain barrier transport.
Aschner M, Aschner JL.
Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Albany Medical College, NY 12208.

Mercury exists in a wide variety of physical and chemical states, each of
which has unique characteristics of target organ toxicity. The classic
symptoms associated with exposure to elemental mercury vapor (Hg0) and
methylmercury (CH3Hg+; MeHg) involve the central nervous system (CNS), while
the kidney is the target organ for the mono- and divalent salts of mercury
(Hg+ and Hg++, respectively). Physical properties and redox potentials
determine the qualitative and quantitative differences in toxicity among
inorganic mercury compounds, while the ability of MeHg to cross the
blood-brain barrier accounts for its accumulation in the CNS and a clinical
picture that is dominated by neurological disturbances. This review gives an
up-to-date account of mercury's physical and chemical properties and its
interaction with biologically active sites pertinent to transport across the
blood-brain barrier, a major regulator of the CNS millieu.

PMID: 2190116 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Different Forms of Mercury and Differing Health Effects
Mercury occurs naturally in the environment and exists in several forms,
which can be organized under three headings: metallic mercury (i.e.,
elemental mercury-Hg 0, quicksilver), inorganic mercury (i.e., Hg +1
[mercurous salts] or Hg +2 [mercuric salts]), and organic mercury (i.e.,
methyl-, ethyl-, and phenylmercury). Because mercury's absorption and
metabolism depend on its chemical and physical form, it is important to
determine the form of mercury to which an individual is exposed. Different
forms of mercury can have differing health effects (e.g., absorption and
metabolism of different forms of mercury vary and, therefore, have different
effects on the nervous system). When metallic mercury vapors are inhaled,
they readily enter the bloodstream and cross the blood-brain barrier.
Inhaling or ingesting large amounts of methylmercury also results in some of
the mercury crossing the blood-brain barrier and affecting the nervous
system. Inorganic mercury salts, such as mercuric chloride, do not cross the
blood-brain barrier like methylmercury or metallic mercury vapor do. Mercury
affects other systems in addition to the nervous system (ATSDR 1999, 1992).

Is it humor - gets TO the brain but is PUMPED before getting INTO the brain?

In case it is not humor, here is the link to the Burbacher study:

http://www.ehponline.org/realfiles/members/2005/7712/7712.pdf

Whether it gets TO the brain or INTO the brain, it remains IN the brain.

Quite true, and is written by the Geiers, known and proven liars as
well documented by

http://epiwonk.com/index.php?s=geier

http://neurodiversity.com/weblog/?q=geier

BTW, the ability of the writer of the Neurodiversity weblog was
recently referred to by a federal magistrate as :...the extent of the
information which a highly-competent librarian like Ms. Seidel can,
and did, accumulate..." This was in an order where the anti-
vaccination lawyer Shoemaker was being sanctioned for unethical
behavior when he subpoenaed Ms. Seidel in a case where she was not a
litigant.

No, a.shole, I never claimed that. How do I know that I never claimed
it? Because it is UNTRUE.

You see, idiot-fool, I do read the CDC website with an open mind, and
have read the vaccine tables listing the thimerosal content of
vaccines. I also read a lot of other things such as:

http://leftbrainrightbrain.co.uk/grabit/acip-min-feb.pdf

which was a survey to see just how many pediatrician offices were
still using thimerosal containing vaccines. Note the reference to the
pharmaceutical companies exchange program. Do I have to explain that
for your very limited intellect?

Do read the entie 60+ pages, as I did. If that is too much for you,
the specific information is on a page where the numerals add up to 12.

I also read this:

http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/109867588/abstract?CRETRY=1&SRETRY=0

which is not direct proof that thimerosal containing vaccines were all
gone at a specific date, but does show just how fast a lot of vaccines
are used.

 Well it seems you were RIGHT...

No, idiot. Even the flu vaccine comes in a thimerosal free version.

Wow. And the 25 mcg immediately dilute upon injection. Oh, wait, you

dilution.

So what? There is NO proof that thimerosal is harmful.

When I had my flu shot a few weeks back I WAS NOT GIVEN THE OPTION of
a mercury-free vaccine. I had to take what the doctor ordered.

By the way - there was no mercury in it.

And if you can't duck it, perhaps you might choose to join the several
hundred thousand people why die each year from flu around the world.

The death toll in 1918-19 was only about 40 million, so fee free to
not worry about the disease. Perhaps a homeopathic preparation of snot
will help.

Did you know that Homeopathy had a MUCH higher success rate
in the 1918 influenza epidemic than the MD's attained?
This is often rationalized that the MDs of that era lacked
the proper drugs.  There may be something to that
argument but it is HARDLY the full story.

Try THIS link, I'm sure you'll find something to object to.

No, as a matter of fact, I don't -- it's like a lot of

Well, would it surprise you to learn
that if it were true, the dominant allopathic
journals WOULD NOT be advertising the fact.

Although the death rate from MD's soared
due to their overuse of aspirin,
that only explains part of the huge disparity
in death rates between the allopaths (high patient
death rate) and the homeopaths (low patient
death rate) during the epidemic.

Brilliant logic.  It appears that your best argument
in favor of homeopathy is based on the principle that
anything not covered in peer-reviewed medical journals
is necessarily true.

Here's an interesting link from Stanford University about the
1918-1919 Spanish Flu.

http://virus.stanford.edu/uda

Years ago, I had an older neighbor, who as a boy worked as a pharmacy
delivery boy during the 1918 flu epidemic.  He said he would ride
through the neighborhoods here in Sacramento, and literally toss
medications up onto the porches from the curb.  Much like a paper boy
does today.  The reason - there were "Quarantine" signs on the doors
and houses.

It appears when I mentioned that NYC lost 1/3 of it's population, that
I make an incorrect statement.  The following accounting states that
just 33,000 died in NYC.  I wish to correct my original exaggerated
figure.  33,000 is still a lot of people in one city.  Philadelphia
was also hard hit:

A new study shows that autism may be linked after all
to the use of mercury in childhood vaccines, despite
government's previous claims to the contrary.

An article in the March 10, 2006, issue of the Journal
of American Physicians and Surgeons shows that since
mercury was removed from childhood vaccines, the
alarming increase in reported rates of autism and
other neurological disorders (NDs) in children not
only stopped, but actually dropped sharply - by as
much as 35 percent.

Using the government's own databases, independent
researchers analyzed reports of childhood NDs,
including autism, before and after removal of
mercury-based preservatives. Authors David A. Geier,
B.A. and Mark R. Geier, M.D., Ph.D. analyze data from
the CDC's Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System
(VAERS) and the California Department of Developmental
Services (CDDS) in "Early Downward Trends in
Neurodevelopmental Disorders Following Removal of
Thimerosal-Containing Vaccines."

The numbers from California show that reported autism
rates hit a high of 800 in May 2003. If that trend had
continued, the reports would have skyrocketed to more
than 1000 by the beginning of 2006. But in fact, the
Geiers report that the number actually went down to
only 620, a real decrease of 22 percent, and a
decrease from the projections of 35 percent.

This analysis directly contradicts 2004
recommendations of the Institute of Medicine which
examined vaccine safety data from the National
Immunization Program (NIP) of the CDC. While not
willing to either rule out or to corroborate a
relationship between mercury and autism, the IOM
soft-pedaled its findings, and decided no more studies
were needed. The authors write: "The IOM stated that
the evidence favored rejection of a causal
relationship between thimerosal and autism, that such
a relationship was not biologically plausible, and
that no further studies should be conducted to
evaluate it."

As more and more vaccines were added to the mandatory
schedule of vaccines for children, the dose of the
mercury-based preservative thimerosal rose, so that
the cumulative dose injected into babies exceeded the
toxic threshold set by many government agencies.
Mercury is known to damage nerve cells in very low
concentrations.

The concern about vaccines may actually be underrated,
as it is generally acknowledged that the voluntary
reporting of such disorders has resulted in vast
underreporting of new cases. For example, the Iowa
state legislature banned thimerosal from all vaccines
administered there after it documented a 700-fold
increase in that state alone. California followed
suit, and 32 states are considering doing so.

Up until about 1989 preschool children got only 3
vaccines (polio, DPT, MMR). By 1999 the CDC
recommended a total of 22 vaccines to be given before
children reach the 1st grade, including Hepatitis B,
which is given to newborns within the first 24 hours
of birth. Many of these vaccines contained mercury. In
the 1990s approximately 40 million children were
injected with mercury-containing vaccines.

The cumulative amount of mercury being given to
children in this number of vaccines would be an amount
187 times the EPA daily exposure limit.

The Geiers conclude that mercury continues to be a
concern, as it is still added to some of the most
commonly-used vaccines, such as those for flu.

Despite its removal from many childhood vaccines, thimerosal is still
routinely added to some formulations of influenza vaccine administered to
U.S. infants, as well as to several other vaccines (e.g. tetanus-diphtheria
and monovalent tetanus) administered to older children and adults. In 2004,
the Institute of Medicine (IOM) of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences
(NAS) retreated from the stated 1999 goal of the AAP and the PHS to remove
thimerosal from U.S. vaccines as soon as possible.As a result, assessing the
safety of TCVs [thimerosal-containing vaccines] is a matter of significant
importance."
Editor's Note: The new study confirms claims made by Dr. Russell Blaylock in
the Blaylock Wellness Report that childhood vaccines that contain
thimerosal, a mercury based preservative, could cause serious harm to
children, including autism. Dr. Blaylock has also warned that vaccines for
adults, such as the flu shot, pose dangers.

Tell it to Peter Bowsprit, he just his flu shots
and forgot to ask for the thiMESSrosal free version.
He's suffering from the delusion that there was
no thimess in it (aside... if there wasn't, one wonders

Exactly how much Mercury is in the the thiMESSersol?
Shall we call it 50%.

Why don't we analyze it this way - (1) What childhood vaccines
continue to have thimerosol in them? (2) Has incidence of autism
continued to escallate in spite of thimerosol being removed from
childhood vaccines since 2001? (3) What is the PROBE-BA-BILITY that
Measles, Mumps, Diptheria, Chickenpox, and the litany of other
childhood diseases are harmless?

He said he had the thimerosal free version. That is also documented on

Doctors were notifed. They had a choice. People do bear some degree of

No, dippy, not possible. Diedre is making a claim which she obviously

By percentage of molecular weight. If you were awake during high
school chemistry, you would be able to understand that this is
meangless. There is only 1 atom of Hg. Just one.

Yes, I will. Since YOU have yet to provide an iota of proof that it

Not rationality approved. The AAPS is NOT a medical socienty, but a
collection of wing-nuts.

This is an open and shut case, thank you for posting this.  Nobody can
credibly question these studies, and nobody that has any integrity
will. Our pro-human side have discredited the myth of ADD, ADHD and
have demonstrably proven that autism is directly related to vaccines.
But much more needs to be done, and we will do it.

Almost all the pro-med posters have gone from these newsgroups, except
the most extreme ones, and nobody takes them seriously.  I almost miss
the nut-cases like Pro-Bert and kooky Ann... I said ALMOST!!!!

Like when you falsely portrayed yourself as a doctor and were kicked
off your ISP for that fraud?

As for the study, it is by the Geiers, who, in a manner of speaking,
make you look like Hippocrates.

But, only in a manner of speaking.

A new study shows that autism may be linked after all
to the use of mercury in childhood vaccines, despite
government's previous claims to the contrary.

An article in the March 10, 2006, issue of the Journal
of American Physicians and Surgeons shows that since
mercury was removed from childhood vaccines, the
alarming increase in reported rates of autism and
other neurological disorders (NDs) in children not
only stopped, but actually dropped sharply - by as
much as 35 percent.

Using the government's own databases, independent
researchers analyzed reports of childhood NDs,
including autism, before and after removal of
mercury-based preservatives. Authors David A. Geier,
B.A. and Mark R. Geier, M.D., Ph.D. analyze data from
the CDC's Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System
(VAERS) and the California Department of Developmental
Services (CDDS) in "Early Downward Trends in
Neurodevelopmental Disorders Following Removal of
Thimerosal-Containing Vaccines."

The numbers from California show that reported autism
rates hit a high of 800 in May 2003. If that trend had
continued, the reports would have skyrocketed to more
than 1000 by the beginning of 2006. But in fact, the
Geiers report that the number actually went down to
only 620, a real decrease of 22 percent, and a
decrease from the projections of 35 percent.

This analysis directly contradicts 2004
recommendations of the Institute of Medicine which
examined vaccine safety data from the National
Immunization Program (NIP) of the CDC. While not
willing to either rule out or to corroborate a
relationship between mercury and autism, the IOM
soft-pedaled its findings, and decided no more studies
were needed. The authors write: "The IOM stated that
the evidence favored rejection of a causal
relationship between thimerosal and autism, that such
a relationship was not biologically plausible, and
that no further studies should be conducted to
evaluate it."

As more and more vaccines were added to the mandatory
schedule of vaccines for children, the dose of the
mercury-based preservative thimerosal rose, so that
the cumulative dose injected into babies exceeded the
toxic threshold set by many government agencies.
Mercury is known to damage nerve cells in very low
concentrations.

The concern about vaccines may actually be underrated,
as it is generally acknowledged that the voluntary
reporting of such disorders has resulted in vast
underreporting of new cases. For example, the Iowa
state legislature banned thimerosal from all vaccines
administered there after it documented a 700-fold
increase in that state alone. California followed
suit, and 32 states are considering doing so.

Up until about 1989 preschool children got only 3
vaccines (polio, DPT, MMR). By 1999 the CDC
recommended a total of 22 vaccines to be given before
children reach the 1st grade, including Hepatitis B,
which is given to newborns within the first 24 hours
of birth. Many of these vaccines contained mercury. In
the 1990s approximately 40 million children were
injected with mercury-containing vaccines.

The cumulative amount of mercury being given to
children in this number of vaccines would be an amount
187 times the EPA daily exposure limit.

The Geiers conclude that mercury continues to be a
concern, as it is still added to some of the most
commonly-used vaccines, such as those for flu.

Despite its removal from many childhood vaccines, thimerosal is still
routinely added to some formulations of influenza vaccine administered to
U.S. infants, as well as to several other vaccines (e.g. tetanus-diphtheria
and monovalent tetanus) administered to older children and adults. In 2004,
the Institute of Medicine (IOM) of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences
(NAS) retreated from the stated 1999 goal of the AAP and the PHS to remove
thimerosal from U.S. vaccines as soon as possible.As a result, assessing the
safety of TCVs [thimerosal-containing vaccines] is a matter of significant
importance."
Editor's Note: The new study confirms claims made by Dr. Russell Blaylock in
the Blaylock Wellness Report that childhood vaccines that contain
thimerosal, a mercury based preservative, could cause serious harm to
children, including autism. Dr. Blaylock has also warned that vaccines for
adults, such as the flu shot, pose dangers.

Thank goodness there are people out there who are aware
of the insults, misdirections and inexhaustible deceptions
of the gang of four INCLUDING Merc ProBERT.

Since I came to this newsgroup amidst insults
attacks and other impedimentia from the "gang",
after daring to make some posts that there
MIGHT, I repeat might be some scientific
support for the efficacy of Homeopathy,
I resolved to keep posting links and information
that indicate viable alternatives to standard medicine
as well as links and information that must
seriously call into question the unfortunate
alliance between commercial interests
and some areas of medical science.

The blind and total acceptance of the efficacy
of vaccinations is one of the things
I have begun to challenge and I am
very pleased that many young mothers,
as well as others of all age groups
and socio-economic strata, no longer
accept the endless propaganda and
media fear mongering which accompanies
yet MORE exhortations to get vaccinated.

Evidence of the rather serious correlations between rising
autism rates and other long term
deleterious consequences of vaccinations
have been met with the most hysterical
innuendo and obstinacy, coupled with the
usual attacks, misdirections and mis-statements
of the anti-alternative medicine puppets
who I have given the nickname the "aunties".

I shall continue posting despite the fact that
NEARLY EVERY thread I attempt to post
or start on an alternative medicine subject
is either subverted, misdirected or otherwise
diverted into directions unrelated to the topic
of the original posting.

Many Thanks

fArtie, as his friends call him (he has no friends) is a long time
internet troll who has abused and used mentally ill people for years.
He plagiarizes articles, changes the working of newspaper articles to
change their meaning, and is recognized as one of the internets true
morons.

I have known him for years, and have yet to see him post a fact. You

I almost feel sorry for Pro-butt, VD Sessions, porno persons, Ann and
the other crackpots who desperately feel the need to post their
drivel.  Nobody, except their own little cult, even reads and responds
to their ratings. From time to time I stop by and see if they have
managed to fool anybody else, but it seems like they have zero
credibility left, so that is no longer a concern!!

Thank you, I've been exposing their Cult of Useful Idiots for a very
long time.  One thing to remember, is that the Proburt Clan has NO
SHAME, none, zero, zilch.  I've exposed them (Proby, Wright, Ann,
etc.) line by line for many a years, but they come back with the same
distorted material, like nothing has happened.

Although our efforts have not been in vain, since it seems like their
ability to fool new people has diminished to zero.  Honest researchers
like yourself, Jan Drew, Sara Freeman and Sir Wholeflaffer have paid
off and the tables have turned.

Dr. Jimerac, keep up the great work, we are winning the war for the
hearts and minds of honest citizens,  we will succeed!

That's our Proby,  He simply has NO shame, and no brains.  Trying to
reason with him or even attempting to have an intelligent discussion
with Proby or his cult is totally futile. He always falls to the

Nah...you are lower than the lowest denominator.

Incorrect and you cannot prove otherwise. However, every post of yours

Proby, I'm certain there IS hope for you.
It just takes time - all those years
of compulsive denialism have taken their
toll, and it takes time to get back
your thinking abilities.  Just keep
reading my posts and visiting the links
and keep repeating to yourself,
"there might be something to this,
there might be something to this,
it IS possible, it IS possible"
and you'll be OK.

We're all rooting for you
and hoping you'll break from

fanatical semanticist Bowditch,
"Doc" the scientist, and that
master of misinterpretation,
the duke of deception,

You are so right Doctor Jimserac, we offer hope and caring to Proby,
but it has come to nothing.  His refusal to want to be helped is his
most vexing problem, and there are many.  Eventually he will re-commit
himself to a mental health facility and he will be treated for his
delusional mind, but until that happens, we need to encourage him to
seek treatment.  The rest of his cult are only too happy to drag him
along and that is flat-out wrong!  Proby has been discredited so many
times, have been caught in lies so many times, that he doesn't even
try to come up with new ones.  Again, we can only offer sympathy to
him and pray that he finds redemption in healing himself,he is way
past due.

Thanks again Citizen J. for the mention, your writings are the bright
light in these newsgroups and need for you to expose the well
documented facts.  Of course Proby's cult hates things like facts.

I did that last night. While walking home, I felt something 'squishy'
on the sole of my right shoe. I said, "there might be something to
this" and checked.

Sure enough, I had inadvertently stepped in a pile of dog crap on a
grassy area. The slob had failed to clean up after his pooch pooped.

This immediately reminded me of your posts, where you fail to hit the

You are just upset that DCS arranged for you to look like a fool, and
I will not play your illogical games of arguing with you before you

I am sure that a few whacks in your head with a nearby hammer will

As I mentioned Proby, all those years of denialism
have taken their troll but I believe
there IS hope for you.

I DO want to congratulate you on a beautiful
bit of misdirection recently in a post
I made about Homeopathy.  Analyzing this
will help to show you how you must
update  your thinking if you are to recover
some semblance of human reasoning rather
than your current Pavlovian response to
virtually ANY post on alternative medicine.

I posted something to the effect that
if Homeopathy were so bad, why don't we see
scads of complaints from the India, where they
have lots of Homeopathic hospitals, Homeopathic medical
colleges and Homeopathic practioners.

You brilliantly (sic) turned this into
something to the effect that I was trying to
claim that popularity was a scientific proof
of efficacy, something I neither said nor implied.

My fear is that your response was not done intentionally
but was rather an automatic response based on your
years of misinterpretation and misdirection as part
of your "modus operandi".

You must learn Proby that this is NOT thinking.
A misinterpretation of this magnitude indicates SERIOUS
cognitive difficulties and/or
a complete misapprehension of the laws
of deductive logic, if you really believe
that asking about complaining Indians somehow implies
a belief that popularity confirms efficacy of anything.

Keep working on this Proby, and, if needed,
try using a sledgehammer on YOUR head - an ordinary
hammer will not do for you.

Good Luck
