Mitcheleh - 14 May 2005 00:02 GMT Did someone write something on this forum about a way to make money by posting info on a discussion. Is that true? Do you know anything about that? I'd make a ton... thanks for any info in advance.
otisbrown@pa.net - 14 May 2005 05:21 GMT Dear Mitcheleh,
This is a "free" news group. No one "makes money" by posting here.
A number of ODs and MDs respond to requests for various medical and optical advice. Their time is valuable -- but they do not get paid for it.
Some one is kidding you.
Best,
Otis

I'd make a ton... thanks for any info in advance. Djenyak@netscape.net - 14 May 2005 23:07 GMT No, no, Mitch... has valid information. It's a new concept they were talking about on the other forum. Too bad I don't remember the name of the site. I'll try to find that.

Something tells me, I would be safe to bet you still won't provide it.

I was not correct. Allen wants to be paid for his posts.
Best,
Otis Engineer

I bet you can't!

otisbrown@pa.net - 15 May 2005 05:01 GMT Allen,
Are you brain-dead or something.
I just made a statement PRAISING these ODs and one MD for their SUPPORT for various questions.
And you ATTACK me -- for honoring them for their support?
Get real.
Otis
A Lieberman - 15 May 2005 13:38 GMT > And you ATTACK me -- for honoring them for > their support? Otis,
You really must have attention deficit disorder. Please re-read my post.
Better yet, I will re-post my question here, since you seem to avoid my direct question. Please give me a direct answer.
I asked in my prior post....
> Seems you do your fair of kidding Otis. I am still waiting for you to > provide UNBIASED websites substantiating your claims. READ CAREFULLY OTIS. It really is not a complicated question above.
Thank you!

It really is not a complicated question above. I have never seen anybody twist other people's words, ascribe things to people that they never said, or fail to acknowledge and respond to people's direct questions (other than a politician, that is) the way that Otis does.
I came to the conclusion quite some time ago that Otis is either senile, stupid, or evil (read Webster's definition. It fits).
There comes a point where ad hominem is *exactly* what's merited. I got to that point a long time ago.....

Subject: Your "ad hominem" attack agains me.
Re: Respecting the dynamic behavior of the eye -- as a sophtisticated system.
Re: Testing a population of such eyes on an "input" versus "output" basis.
Re: Scientific verification -- by repeated experiment.
Neil, what I said was that the natural eye can be expected to be dynamic -- on the basis of pure science -- not your version of "medicine".
This type of testing (using the term "refractive state") proves that a population of natural eye will "move negative" when you place a minus lens on them.
Do you deny this?
And if so why?
In the above statement I have not "attacked" you but you attack me.
I do not think you have an abstract understanding of pure scientific tests to prove the expected dynamic behavior of the natural eye.
Best,
Otis Engineer

What the hell are you talking about?
Best, Neil
otisbrown@pa.net - 19 May 2005 18:37 GMT Niel,
The problem is that you accuse me of "mis-representing" the natural eye as a dynamic system, using basic measurements -- and then claim I am "twisting" words I use to describe EXACTLY with is measured, i.e., refractive states, not "organic defects" as you like to infer about the proven behavior of the natural eye.
Best,
Otis
Neil Brooks - 19 May 2005 18:41 GMT >Niel, > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > >Otis Once again, you misquote, so let me quote myself:
"I have never seen anybody twist other people's words, ascribe things to people that they never said, or fail to acknowledge and respond to people's direct questions (other than a politician, that is) the way that Otis does."
There. Now the record's straight.
You're welcome, BestOtisEngineer. Time for your meds, dear boy.

Please show us where those experiments have been performed on humans. When you find the five or six studies that are most applicable, tally up the ones that show plus lenses prevent myopia. Then get back to us so we can advertise this therapy to our patients.

Re: Repeat -- this is NOT MEDICAL. The test is only done to establish the essential characteristics of a population of natural eye.
The fact that "Neil" does not "get is" explains a lot.
Use absolutly neutral languate to describe the natural eye in this why, and you:
1. Respect this proven behavior.
2. An can draw your own conclusions at to if a negative refractive state of the natural eye CAN BE PREVENTED.
3. I guess is must be up to the person himself to review these objective facts -- if he wishes to apply "preventive methods".
Best,
Otis
Neil Brooks - 19 May 2005 18:34 GMT >The fact that "Neil" does not "get is" explains a lot. It explains what exactly?
And . . . I thought you didn't *make* attacks. There goes another one of Otis's claims, disproven.
Sigh.

If only you'd publish your evidence, we can convince the FDA and the boards of optometry. I'm sure the vision insurance plans will be interested too - prevention would be cheaper than a lifetime of glasses.

Djenyak@netscape.net - 19 May 2005 19:25 GMT You guys should put your knowledge and experience to good use: www.iPlim.com is the answer to Mitch... original question.
otisbrown@pa.net - 20 May 2005 02:34 GMT Dear Djenyak,
Interesting site, my friend.
Re: If only you'd publish your evidence, we can convince the FDA and the boards of optometry. I'm sure the vision insurance plans will be interested too - prevention would be cheaper than a lifetime of glasses. Mike Tyner
Mike thinks that EVERYTHING can be reduced to a "magic pill" that he can PRESCIRBE, i.e., pure "medicine" -- if that is what it is.
In fact, prevention requires that the person (highly motivated) look at what "Mike" has to present (i.e., the neither visual enviroment NOR minus lens has any effect on the refractive state of the natural eye.
That is pure science. Unil the person himself recognizes the necessity of using the plus at the threshold (which has been done) prevention is indeed difficult.
The issue is whether the person is prepared to make that commitment to clearing with the plus -- before that minus lens is applied.
So it must be the person himself (after _MEDICAL_ issues are elliminated) the personally does the work of "vision clearing". When the person does this work (under his own control -- his eyes belong to him after all) and verifies clering to 20/20, then the issue is no longer a "OD" issue, now is it?
Best,
Otis

Please prove on a website OUTSIDE your website that supports your position.
I bet you don't and won't do this Otis. It is a very simple request. Don't side step this, ANSWER MY QUESTION DIRECTLY. i BET YOU WON'T AS USUAL.

I bet you don't and won't do this Otis.
Is it because you make up things as you go Otis.....
Inquiring minds want to know.
