Thank goodness there are people out there who are aware
of the insults, misdirections and inexhaustible deceptions
of the gang of four INCLUDING Merc ProBERT.
Since I came to this newsgroup amidst insults
attacks and other impedimentia from the "gang",
after daring to make some posts that there
MIGHT, I repeat might be some scientific
support for the efficacy of Homeopathy,
I resolved to keep posting links and information
that indicate viable alternatives to standard medicine
as well as links and information that must
seriously call into question the unfortunate
alliance between commercial interests
and some areas of medical science.
The blind and total acceptance of the efficacy
of vaccinations is one of the things
I have begun to challenge and I am
very pleased that many young mothers,
as well as others of all age groups
and socio-economic strata, no longer
accept the endless propaganda and
media fear mongering which accompanies
yet MORE exhortations to get vaccinated.
Evidence of the rather serious correlations between rising
autism rates and other long term
deleterious consequences of vaccinations
have been met with the most hysterical
innuendo and obstinacy, coupled with the
usual attacks, misdirections and mis-statements
of the anti-alternative medicine puppets
who I have given the nickname the "aunties".
I shall continue posting despite the fact that
NEARLY EVERY thread I attempt to post
or start on an alternative medicine subject
is either subverted, misdirected or otherwise
diverted into directions unrelated to the topic
of the original posting.
Many Thanks
Citizen Jimserac
