Guest guest Posted February 23, 2002 Report Share Posted February 23, 2002 Hi all, I came across this humorous anecdote that I think you'll find relevant to our recent discussions. " Once upon a time there was a man who thought he was dead. His concerned wife and friends sent him to the frinedly neighborhood psychiatrist. The psychiatrist determined to cure him by convincing him of one fact that contradicted his belief that he was dead. The psychiatrist decided to use the simple truth that dead men do not bleed. He put his patient to work reading medical texts, observing autopsies, etc. After weeks of effort, the patient finally said, 'All right, all right! You've convinced me. Dead men do not bleed.' Whereupon the psychiatrist stuck him in the arm with a needle, and the blood flowed. The man looked down with a contorted ashen face and cried: 'Good Lord! Dead men bleed after all!' " (J.Warwick Montgomery) What's my point? Well, this parable illustrates that if you hold unsound presuppostions with sufficient tenacity, facts will make no difference at all. No one will be able to convince you otherwise. The facts are out there, regarding the benefits and results of the liver cleanse. Be honest with yourself about what your own presuppositions are.
