If people are looking for these things it is possible that it would "confirm" it, but when you are not looking for a particular "tell" it has the
potential to be overlooked. I thought that he had performed these procedures himself. From his lecture it appears he has.
Have you ever taken/examined an MRI? There is no way that hundreds of thousands of physicians could have missed these wide spread "microstokes" and
micro-tears of vessels on literally tens of millions of MRIs since the technology's conception. That very idea is preposterous and you should feel
silly for suggesting it. Microtears are not that hard to see on MRIs, and I don't see why you would think it would take one man who has NO clinical
experience and NO radiological background to see them.
I have never had an MRI. None of my friends have had an MRI. Neither have my parents (yet) had an MRI. If the argument is the rise in autism and
neurological disorders due to heavy vaccination programs, and if the premise is that this very expensive test that only happens in the US at a
doctor's request, then I can still imagine it going "unnoticed" until recently.
Per Johns Hopkins Medical:
Most people don't even notice microstrokes, which usually affect only a small number of brain cells. Although microstrokes sometimes show
up as tiny spots on brain scans, other times they can't be picked up at all. The bottom line is that there's no way to interpret killing off
of neurons as being a good thing, even in small numbers. So it seems pretty obvious that doing anything you can to prevent microstrokes -- especially
engaging in regular physical exercise -- is essential for protecting your brain and guarding your memory.
I continue to conjecture if you are not looking for them you may not notice them.
Note: "silliness" is highly derogatory and not at all good form. Point of fact, it is rude and impolite.
My dissertation has been peer reviewed and I cannot get that published by my degree holder for another two years as it is pending the expiration of an
NDA that I signed.
Did you honestly just equate a dissertation with what this man is called decades of scientific work? Surely you know the difference.
Yes, I did equate it, and I feel you are deliberately misreading my argument if you have state: "Surely you know the difference." I have a research
background, and held two MS prior to my PhD. I know exactly how long I have had to sit on my findings and, yes, they are research
(laboratory)-based.
Canadian medical schools aren't in the practice of graduating students without the intention of practicing. The fact that he attained an MD but did
not seek licensure or practice suggests to me that he either couldn't pass the terminal licensing exam or showed poor enough skills that he was
unable to obtain a residency.
He is choosing to go into consulting versus medical practice. You are supposing that he "couldn't pass" a licensing program, and I am supposing he
wants to make money.
There is a correlated rise in the West where children receive more vaccines, more processed foods, more junk of autism, ADHD, and other
"diseases" that are supposed to be genetic. Some would say the rise is due to better diagnostics, but that is a cop out. All of us have "senses"
when we were in school, when we had fewer vaccines, fewer corn syrup products (soda actually had sugar in it until the late eighties), etc there were
fewer AD
It's interesting you bring up correlation. There is a common phrase in medicine and sciense: correlation is not causation.
At the risk of sounding snide...
duh. Did I state that it was?
No, my position is that the beginning of all research is observation and correlation of the various clues in order to compile them into enough
evidence to apply for research and/or create your protocol. Example, "Why does this one town have a higher than average cancer rate? Is it the
water? Are they all using the same water supply, etc."
Let me paint this picture a bit more bluntly.
You are not being "blunt" you are attempting to talk down to me in order to establish yourself as being somehow more reasoned or understanding of
this subject matter.
You say there is a "correlated rise" in vaccines, junk food, and autism.
Okay, let's expand that concept.
You ought to have said:
Allow me to produce an analogy that in now way shape or form does credit to the original statement so that I might
hyperbolize the argument in order to avoid answering it.
I say there is a correlation between decreasing numbers of pirates and autism. The fewer pirates we saw in the world, the more autism we
saw.
Additionally, I think AIDS is caused by the Chinese. The more Chinese people there are in the world, the more AIDS cases there are. I defy you to
disprove my logic.
I give you a scenario that is grounded in reality and what the CDC and EPA deal with daily in both Select Agent and Outbreak management and you give
me pirates. That is incredibly immature of you and a complete disregard for anyone's intelligence other than your own.
Shame on you.
Do you see how ridiculous you sound when you use that sort of "correlative proof" ?
No, I see how arrogant and ridiculous you sound when you attempt to deflect what diagnostic and outbreak analysts have to deal with on a daily,
monthly, yearly basis. When tracking cancer rates in Eurasia we had to compile "cluster studies" prior to investigation. That is correlating
location to disease trait. If we stopped there that would be shameful. I've never said one ought to. Correlating diverse variables is the first
step in an investigation of any type.
I was arguing for allowing the individual to present evidence or at least argue the evidence rather than use ad hominem attacks that do nothing to
elevate the level of discourse and understanding for other posters. You are not even attempting to do that. You don't want to waste your time with
reading his ideas and presenting a counter to each one,
but you will waste my time with fictitious pirate studies....
