If you want to become a quack Remedies must be harmless Patients are in control of their own finances Choose afflictions with natural remission periods & claim it as proof the remedy works Publicize these patients Hide all deaths & failures When they die or the affliction reemerges is because they waited too long to see you If only they had come to? see you earlier it wouldn't have happened Don't keep or allow records to be examined Claim deaths using real medicine proves it doesn't work either

By: matrixphijr. on 21 Nov 11, 10:51:22
I find it relatively easy to believe. It's fairly common knowledge that there is iron in mascara. Iron is magnetic. Proof #1. You don't even realize that you offered the second proof. M.R.I. stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging. What that does is create an electromagnetic field around the machine, then use the radiation frequency (essentially particles bouncing around the field) to create an image. If you took Physics, you know that the only thing that can interfere... is a MAGNET!?

actually, that part of the presentation came directly? from a medical doctor giving a presentation about his interactions with MRI's: He relayed his account of a "mysterious black film" showing up on the MRI units, eventually identified as mascara. It's only because the MRI units were, in fact, ripping the ferrous material in mascara off the faces of patients, that they began to request women wear no makeup during scans.

By: WTBbboyNAME. on 02 Nov 11, 19:21:51
Meh, the message this guy presents is ok. My biggest issue is how he claims that MRIs are strong enough to "rip mascara of a woman's face." cmon now. Mascara isn't allowed because? its compounds can blur/interfere with imaging. using false claims to further his agenda.... hypocrisy!

Leeches don't consume dead tissue, they only drink blood.? They are sometimes used to promote blood flow after surgery, for example if someone has had a severed finger reattached. MAGGOTS bred in sterile conditions can be used to consume gangrenous tissue. The contemporary use of leeches has nothing to do with how they were used in the practice of bloodletting, which was based on the theory of the four bodily humours. .

By: miketonon. on 26 Aug 10, 04:55:36
All disease is inflamation, inflamation is caused by free radicals. Free radicals are caused by toxins, lack of oxygen to cells and stress (physical and mental). Truely clean water is rare, tap water is far from it. Drinking tap water (because of all the toxins and chemicals in it) for years can cause alot of different problems. Magnet therapy might be more of? a placebo, but I don't really know. While some of this video is true, alot of it is hype and nonsense.

The study sharkreef2011 refers to is a 1981 study that uses a small pool of subjects (60) and makes no claim to test the efficacy of the treatment, only to? monitor for side effects. The full study can be found on pubmed as article PMC1569027 including a link to the complete paper in pdf format. It is worth noting two things - the study does not look at the efficacy of MMS for any treating any disease, and sharkreef2011 has quote-mined the conclusion.

UV would work for the most part as a sterilizer, especially in clear water, except it takes a lot of energy, and anyone who has spent a day at the lake knows how well water reflects UV. Also, encysted bacterias are very UV tolerant.

In the age when water was not properly purifiied, this could have had a radio-sterilization effect, and formerly bacteria laden unhealthy water, could have been made safe by irradiation.

This fails to understand the difference between ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. The most common isotope of Radium is an alpha emitter that, when ingested, replaces calcium in the bones. Carcinogenic. Microwave radiation is not? ionizing, and the energy deposited by cellphones is negligible; on the other hand, naturally occurring Radium decays to Radon gas, which causes 2000 fatal cancers per year in the UK alone.

THANK you for ...
By: mphello. on 19 Mar 12, 05:34:48
THANK you for responding to oldspammer's load of unfalsifiable claims, gross generalizations without a SINGLE piece of supporting evidence, half truths, misleading truths, and all around general bullshit. If I am not mistaken, oldspammer is an Anthropogenic Global Warming (AGW) denier. That is? the INSTANT test/proof for a quack who should be ENTIRELY ignored, as AGW has been proved beyond a reasonable doubt and is in the top 5 current world's most serious issues.

Oldspammer, I don't ...
By: euthman. on 21 Nov 11, 15:02:27
Oldspammer, I don't think I have seen so many generalizations with no specific examples. As I said in the opening of another lecture in this? series, any indictments I make against alt med in no way should be construed as an apologia for conventional medicine. The triumphs and failures of conventional medicine can be discussed on their own merits and have nothing to do with the issue of alternative medicine.

@euthman With no ...
By: oldspammer. on 20 Nov 11, 11:37:15
@euthman With no one even injured, making unaccepted medical claims / labeling has landed alt med guys in prison. At the same time FDA fast tracks approval of stuff that is later discovered dangerous, resulting in thousands dying or injured. If clinical testing approvals were inexpensive, they should be mandated for everything. But these trials are so expensive as to prevent competition by mom & pop sized producers of vitamins / herbs,? etc. So until the costs come way down, what can be done?

@euthman I would ...
By: oldspammer. on 20 Nov 11, 11:27:35
@euthman I would like to see? less corruption. The trouble then becomes accurately identifying & eliminating multilayered corruption existing in the system today. The problem is to prevent death & suffering. One alt med guy suggested in congressional testimony that punishing mainstream medical death outcomes with imprisonment whether due to surgical or drug origins. Death outcomes in alt med cases have been treated responsibility no differently--imprisonment with failed treatments.

@euthman In a lot ...
By: oldspammer. on 20 Nov 11, 11:12:30
@euthman In a lot of cases the genius may have discovered new things, but their application is ultimately in a missed direction,? so it would not matter much if the long dead genius is eventually proven correct for many aspects of his various ideas. Many older, mistaken ideas are perpetuated for a while: tobacco science, lack of hygiene of washing hands, germs not being the cause of stomach ulcers, germs unable to trigger cancer, vitamin deficiency not causing various illnesses, etc.

@euthman Trouble is ...
By: oldspammer. on 20 Nov 11, 10:51:30
@euthman Trouble is that fraudulent science is often promoted for years before it is dismissed, especially if the tycoon's family serves as a generational dynasty to perpetuate the original tycoon's interests. In these cases a system of deceit begins? to be established where history is rewritten to handle public relations nightmares. Conspiracy theorists point to the fact that various tycoons have influenced the writing of history by gaining more and more monopoly control over news media.

@euthman When ...
By: oldspammer. on 20 Nov 11, 10:42:12
@euthman When alternative crowd people see this happen repeatedly, they typically charge "suppression" of technologies, treatments, etc. Often, because the technology is leaps beyond? state of the art, it is difficult or impossible for others to reproduce until 100 years later. So rather than helping the genius advance leaps beyond state of the art, the tycoon minions' fraudulent science study (or biased opinion) is used as weapon to destroy the genius to prevent tycoon financial ruin.

@euthman As you can ...
By: oldspammer. on 20 Nov 11, 10:34:21
@euthman As you can easily guess, people who are not under tycoon influence are deemed "alternative", or quacks for very quickly grasping on to new, unproven, and possibly whimsical ideas. A genius person who has adopted a very large sequence of? accurate new ideas can be criticized by those heavily under tycoon influence who see fit to prove the genius wrong with corrupted science studies so as to prevent financial ruin of their tycoon boss, and win great financial favor from said tycoon.

@euthman Tycoon ...
By: oldspammer. on 20 Nov 11, 10:27:44
@euthman Tycoon industry owners are worse than medical practitioners, than medial scientists, than physicists when it comes to? rewriting disproven laws & adopting the newer ideas because tycoons will lose lots of money in the event of a paradigm shift. Trouble is that current society is a trickle-down system that operates on the tycoon's money so there is great political force not to adopt anything new, resulting in enormous foot dragging to adopt new ideas by all? under tycoon influence.

@euthman Science is ...
By: oldspammer. on 20 Nov 11, 10:11:48
@euthman Science is knowledge gained through a methodology. Lots of times a working mathematical predictive model is formulated to predict future observations & opinions get formed that such a model? is immutable, & therefore "a Law." Mathematicians are not fooled by such logic & say that as soon as a counter-example is demonstrated, then the theorem may be true for specific data sets, but is "not true in general." Trouble is scientists don't like rewriting laws, & politically resist change.

@euthman When a ...
By: oldspammer. on 20 Nov 11, 10:01:49
@euthman When a medical treatment method is experimental, it remains unpracticed, uncovered by medical insurance, unused in favor? of inferior treatment methods, and is essentially abandoned excepting by alternative practitioners. When only alternative practitioners are using the method, it is deemed quackery, rendering the scientific process less than useful by persons with undue political / financial rather than scientific biases--a systematic corruption of the scientific process always results

@euthman When ...
By: oldspammer. on 20 Nov 11, 09:55:06
@euthman When positive results begin to accumulate about something being explored by a highly respected researcher following all of the experimental protocols & publication procedures, the researcher grows old and dies off, and no young researcher gets involved to follow up his work with replication and advancement of the area of investigation. The charge is then argued that too few studies have been done to demonstrate that X is generally? true, and so the premise & methods remain experimental.

@euthman Arguments ...
By: oldspammer. on 20 Nov 11, 09:43:48
@euthman Arguments used by alt med people are that too low or high a dosage was given, or the formulation / recipe? used was not as recommended or normally used, or the protocols being used were lax so the study patients skipped treatment applications, or quantitative outcome measurements were avoided so the results were inconclusive, or patient selection was deliberately skewed so the treatment was inapplicable, or arguments presented are logical / straw man fallacies, or any legit concerns.

@euthman I have ...
By: oldspammer. on 20 Nov 11, 09:34:46
@euthman I have examined some of these alt med criticisms of science studies that purport to prove that one or more alt med treatment methods is worthless, and have almost always found extremely advanced forms of trickery used to twist the? outcomes of the studies used by the financially-conflicted scientists conducting the research.

@euthman Consider & ...
By: oldspammer. on 20 Nov 11, 09:26:03
@euthman Consider & tentatively accept that certain conspiracy theories could be true. Once in that frame of reference examine why it is that the smartest, most articulate alternative medicine proponents believe the things that they do. If these proponents are not smarter & more intelligent than Einstein, then it stands to reason that they will make honest mistakes on a few things, but is everything? that they say completely mistaken?

@euthman Trouble ...
By: oldspammer. on 20 Nov 11, 09:08:13
@euthman Trouble with? the speaker's philosophy is that it is not sufficiently skeptical of the politics, the funding and freedom of scientists and lay persons doing strong science to confirm or dismiss health claims of the various suggested medical treatments. Everything that involves skeptical thinking should be applied to persons who have conflicting financial / political interests for the way they fund & conduct science because trickery can usually be demonstrated when more money is involved.

@euthman When the ...
By: oldspammer. on 20 Nov 11, 06:34:48
@euthman When the skeptical shoe is on the? other foot, the legitimate criticisms & concerns are belittled by charges of "that's just an unprovable conspiracy theory that tycoons would want to monopolize an economic sector like drug manufacture or medical treatment or geopolitics." Instead of tentatively & conditionally accepting a hypothesis to investigate its plausibility through measurement, investigation, reasoning, and logic, tycoon self-published public relations illusion is accepted.

By: Milehighkingpin. on 21 Sep 10, 21:40:54
Excellent rebuttal, Mr. Krov. Micimacko33, I too am a polyglot, AND by training, I am also an academic linguist. Isaac Mozeson and his followers are wrong on every possible point. Even some of his Hebrew examples are semantically iffy. Hebrew is part of the very large Afro-Asiatic family, of the Semitic family; Hebrew is of the Central Semitic main branch, more precisely the Northwest Semitic thereof, which splits into the Canaanite sub-branch, THEN we have sister languages of Hebrew......?

One clear sign was there wasn't anything leading up to the entrance, all the wax was just at the side where the candle had been burnt. I did everything properly, followed all instructions, and only burned the? candles down to the red line where you are supposed to. I wanted to be a believer in this too.
