Guest guest Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 Barrett has a lot of time on his hands. Just think how wonderful it would be if he spent all that time learning how to be a healer :0) Cheers, JOT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 I had a look at the link. Some of the things this guy is saying is frightening, particularly point 4 where he implies that we have somehow reached an Age of Enlightenment or the Pinnacle of Civilisation where all "good" ideas are taken onboard by the Competent Authorities. So people who have no medical training should not be worrying their little heads about anything. This is reminiscent of the Inquisition, where only men of the church could decide things to do with the church and all trials were held in camera so that non churchmen could not see what was going on. (In fact it reminds me of what went on with Dr Mayhill's trial!) Also he has nothing good to say about anything, his discourse is completely negative and he is trotting out the same old argument about something not having any medical evidence to back it up. It is easy for this kind of evidence to be withheld from the public. Supposedly independent laboratories that do clinical trials would be black listed if they dared to hold a clinical trial for a drug or product that undermined another drug or product that was going to make big buck for Big Pharma. It would be very easy to drive them out of business. So it's a rubbish argument. His paragraphs are written like a political manifesto. He moves from the conditional/subjunctive tense to the indicative. So he present as "facts" deductions based on statements that are of an uncertain nature or on personal observations or opinions. He does this very well, but in my opinion it's the work of a sick mind if he is sincere. Frightening really!

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2011 Report Share Posted February 14, 2011 If you google 'wikileaks' you can go on the web site, they invite anyone to tell them of any thing or report anything to them, you can contact them with any news of importance and they will take it up. > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 it annoys me when these ignorant people blame it on psychiatric issues. Psyhciatry has been called a pseudo science. it is well known that hormones and nutritional factors affect brain chemistry. chris > > LOL, I saw that when I was googling something else.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2011 Report Share Posted February 15, 2011 I don't know why TPA is on there and other thyroid groups are not, unless they'll be added in due course. As you have no doubt noticed, you only have to do a quick search, to find a lot of info against Armour on quackwatch. Something that I have noticed over time with people: It boils down to who do people believe, GPs etc who are not getting them well, or groups like TPA, Thyroid UK. Clearly this sort of website would back up anything that mainstream health professionals are saying... This sort of info is all the ammunition people need, to avoid getting the help they need. I guess it depends from person to person, or how ill they have become. I am sure to a point, these sorts of resources, do have an influence over people avoiding fighting the system for the help they need etc. If somebody has doctors saying that Armour or T3 isn't proven etc, then they read something on that site, I am sure they would have to be very very ill before. As I say, it depends from person to person, how ill they are and their circumstances. I am convinced some people are very influenced by what they read on Quackwatch.

It must be an emotional thing, but it is as if they don't own their body and expect someone else to take all the decisions for them. I always say to them to get on line and find out what is right for them instead of taking as gospel the results of a 3 minute consultation from someone who does not even look up from his computer! love janet > . > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
