A few seconds on Google would have found many sources.



A real MD would never use Google to diagnos and treat patients. Try
getting a real source.


Neither would a real pharmacist, dammit! Beachy, of course, never claimed to be either, and if the info is available on Google, why is it suspect?

Its easy for a *** head like you to blubber out the mouth because when
a real person is in need of help and it is ***your*** decision which can
either save him or kill him, your going to be no where to be found to even
burry the corpse.


I dunno, I have a good feeling about Beachy, and if you were in front of him and said that, and his sweat started smelling like ammonia, you'd either back down real quick or have him get his kidneys checked. But I'm sure that, if it was his decision to make, he'd be there to bury the body. He's not an evildoer.


I have no idea what is up with Ruben. Very bizarre.

As some know, I'm a fitness and health fanatic.
Does anyone think he can get healthy or live long by going to the doctor or taking pills? We don't diagnose via google, we do research any medications or treatments.

As a musician, I have spent much time researching and analyzing the ergonomics of string instruments. For example, trained as a classical guitar player, a guitar player is taught to have their left foot higher than the right, their body twisted, the left wrist best to an extreme angle. Exchanging email with Carol Kaye for years (I'm listed on her site), I've come to a quite a few decision. My surgeon performed four operations on his son, a motivated musicians. We spoke about ergonomics of string instruments, and took out his pad and started taking notes. I don't easily let someone cut my arm up, had incredible results, but also realized he was not a God.

My "wife" is deathly allergic to iodine. Even though she is a vegetarian and deathly allergic to iodine, her doctor absolutely insisted that she take fish oil, and that flax seed was not a viable alternative. (Yes, I try to get her to exercise more).

A quick search on Google found the manufacturer, and we found warnings that pills should not be taken by someone allergic to iodine. She would go into anaphylactic shot. I research any medication prescribed, as well as supplements. How many medications potentially don't have dangerous side effects?

Similarly, the FDA board is composed of people with huge financial interests to the same companies they regulate. And, to only use the AMA to examine behavior of doctors is having the fox guard the chicken coop.
There was some analysis comparing many medication recommendations removing the votes of the people that didn't have vested interests in the drugs being recommended, and the results change significantly.

As I mentioned, my cousin's study in US News and World report that MOST laser surgery centers will recommend inappropriate laser surgery. the fact that the high overhead centers were the most likely to recommend the procedure is very telling.

Many doctors are exceptional. Most of us have had excellent and horrendous results. The reality is that "iatrogenic results" are a very real danger. Where is someone most likely to get an antibiotic resistant disease, in a natural foods restaurant or a hospital?

But Ruben's making it way too personal. I have to wonder if that really is Rueben?
