23. I agree. Here are a few examples of his contributions to this group:
To Sue when she asked if he thought she chose to have a bone marrow disease:

12. Like I said...


...people choose ill health for their own reasons. I have no idea why you have a 'bone marrow disorder'. Maybe you wanted to visit the Mayo Clinic....

Anyway, we're all surrounded by toxic chemicals, contaminated food and lethal mosquitoes but only some of us get sick. Why is that....????

I know intelligent people who can't look through a doctors manual without acquiring most of the symptoms.


To Warpy who said she didn't choose to get polio:

18. You're excused.


And yes you did decide to get that "painful, crippling...disease" for your own reasons. And now you're living through it...kicking and screaming....but living.

Of course, all I know or care to know about you is what you choose to put in your post. If you want me to know that you are in pain, disabled and uninsured then that is the life you want to project. Whether shit happens to me or not, it is not what my life is about so I won't mention it. Telling me about your pain and discomfort doesn't convince me of the reality of your disease, just your reaction to it.

Try focusing on something else...it's amazing how that works.


To Book Lover who became angry that he believed her daughter chose to be autistic before she was even born:

90. You make it sound if it were....


...my fault that your child was born with autism. Or, somehow, that by striking out at me, you will feel better. If this is all about making YOU feel better then flame away.

However if your daughters condition is making you drink and become belligerent you should probably stop blaming yourself.


To cosmik who commented on how cruel it was to blame an unborn child for her autism:

95. Are you off your med's....


...or is that question unspeakably cruel as well??? I am not blaming the victim for anything.....are you that dense????

I'm saying WHATEVER you got you got for your own, obviously subconcious, intents and purposes.

I'm sorry that every person that attempts to enlighten you feels more like a "rapist" than someone trying to help. I hope you grow out of it.....


A bizarre exchange with Warpy (an experienced RN) where he first inferred she knew nothing about colds and flu, and then went on to blame nurses for causing "life threatening super infection(s)"

4. Why are you aware...

...of "...signs of a bacterial infection" and not of the transitory nature of cold's, flu etc.???

Could it be that you have been 'schooled' by television advertising?


Here's another good "alternative" health therapy....

Turn off your television.

9. Excuse me, Sparky

but I was an RN for 25 years. My recognition of the signs of life threatening super infection have nothing to do with your susceptibility to television advertising.

11. Yes, you are clever...


...but thanks to your vaunted profession, cold's and flu have morphed into "life threatening super infection". Care to tell us how that happened...????

21. What the fuck are you talking about?

Superbugs are bacterial infections. Influenza and the common cold are viruses. Human activities have no effect on the mutation rate of viruses. Don't blame science, blame God.

24. Guess what.


Excessive use of anti-bio tics resulted in viruses mutating to overpower the drugs. That's where super-bugs come from and there appears to be "humans" involved.

"Don't blame science, blame God."

For what....????

What the fuck are YOU talking about?



I think it's time to call in the exterminators.
