That one DOES say which degrees he has, but DOES NOT

King George's Medical College, India, 1972

Honors and Awards


Whoops, there Jan! You cut out the part at the
top of the page which lists Singh's degrees.

Shall we have a look at that part you cut out?
Here it is:


Education
M.S. (surgery), King George&rsquo;s Medical College, India, 1976
M.B.B.S. (medicine & surgery), King George&rsquo;s Medical
College, India, 1972
B.S., Meerut University, India, 1967


Do you see a PhD or an MD in there?

The MB,BS is the equivalent of a US MD, but as was forcefully pointed
out to Dr Sandra Cabot, you put the letters after your name that the
awarding institution uses, not some others that you think might be
better for marketing.

It's why you ignore anyone who says they have a BA from Harvard or a
PhD from Oxford.


Which I noted in my 12/26 correction to my earlier
12/25 posting. But Jan was asserting Singh had BOTH
a PhD and an MD, and using that to accuse me of lying.



Here's what I said on 12/26, which Jan most likely
did read, but then chose to ignore:

In my previous posting, I said:

Lai has a PhD in psychology. Singh does not have
any kind of a doctorate degree.

I based that statement on his c.v. here:
http://depts.washington.edu/bioe/people/core/singh/singh.html

I must admit I don't actually know the requirements
for a MBBS or MS degree in India. One or both of
those degrees may be equivalent to a doctorate degree
from an American university.

Lai and Singh are better known as authors of
a bogus study purporting to show that Hulda
Clark's Zapper can kill leukemia cells.
The effect they observed, however, was not
an effect attributable to the Zapper.
What actually occurred in their study is
that the platinum electrodes partly
dissolved into the solution in which the
cells were suspended, forming compounds
that are already well-known to kill cancer
cells. If they had used carbon electrodes
(or any material except platinum), no
effect would have been observed.

In that statement, I implied that the cells
were grown in a liquid culture. The abstract
for the Lai and Singh study does not make clear
whether the growth medium was a liquid or a gel.
I must admit that I do not know whether Lai
and Singh used a liquid growth medium or a gel
for the cells used in their study. I don't
think it makes any difference with regard to
my conclusions about that deeply flawed study,
but I wish to correct any possibly wrong
implications in my previous posting.
