> So, could we all give Dr. Cheney a break here.

Thank you Betty, for saying better than I could myself how I feel

about these attacks. I am in a fragile condition, and these posts

are throwing me into chest pain.

I have sat here for years listening to one false attack on Dr.

Cheney after another, but now at a time when he is struggling for

his own health, I can no longer sit here and take it. Enough is

enough.

As for his his not looking at a person's chart, totally untrue, but

he has his own health issues right now, and his cognitive abilities

are a bit compromised in short term memory...surely you can all

relate to that...but I would take Dr. Cheney with half his brain

tied behind his back than anyone else on the planet with a full

brain. Like Donna said, he is improving and he will be back again

with his memory.

As Betty stated, he tells some of his long term patients things he

does not tell every patient, and IF you only knew what some of us

know, you would not be leveling these charges, you would be ashamed

to even have thought such things and you would be in awe of the

character and integrity of this man.

When I saw my internist the other day for 15 minutes and got the

bill, the cost is no more, you just do not have doctors that spend

hours with you. But that is the only way Dr. Cheney feels he can do

the right thing for his patients, if that style does not suit you,

no one forces you to go. Dr. Cheney is making no more than the

average internist makes in a year. As to the time he spends with a

patient which keeps him from seeing as many a day, he realized a

long ago he could never see all the patients who wanted to see him,

so he had the choice of cramming lots of patients in or doing it in

a way that he could better serve the patients he did have as well as

provide inroads into research in hopes of finding something that

would help ALL DFIDS patients. He really has thought about this a

lot.

Dr. Cheney has to have one of the highest codes of integrity of

anyone I have EVER known. And besides being a brialliant doctor and

researcher, he really cares. He not only cares, but he passionately

cares. He thinks about this illness every waking hour, and he cares

about his patients.

I hope the moderator stops these attacks if they do not stop on

their own. It needs to stop because this is rumor and speculation

and is totally untrue and borders on libel if not libel. I know a

researcher on the Net that would be laying a lawsuit on you unless

you publicly restracted these false statements, but Dr. Cheney would

never do that. But please, if for no other reason but out of

respect of those of us who know Dr. Cheney and care about him and

know these statements are not true, please stop.

Hello,

I saw a couple of posts with information related to Dr. Cheney

recently. I can't seem to find them now. This site is acting

strange.

Anyway, I am a Cheney patient FWIW.

As to the PFO, hole in the heart, there seems to be a very

high incidence of this in Cheney patients. Many times higher

than normal.

The PFO can cause a lot of problems, but it not THE

problem. The PFO is just a manifestation of whatever

THE problem is: Mold?, Monsanto?, Perchlorates?, The CIA?

Death Rays from Mars? Who knows?

Probably it is somekind of mitochondrial/energy problem in

most patients.

As to the fingerprint distruction. On biopsy, the skin is

seen to be infiltrated with mast cells. Probably proteases

are attacking the collagen in the skin commisurate with the mast

cell infiltration. All this is a non-specific indicator of

immune upregulation.

As a Cheney patient, I wish he could pay more attention to mold

related issues. But, he can't do EVERYTHING ! In the end,

I would prefer he is doing just what he is, because he does it very

well. And the information generated is the best that science

has to offer. It does a lot to advance the cases of people with

CFS/MCS, and other similar ill defined maladies. In other words,

it is difficult for the CDC/NIH, etc. to blow this stuff

off, because it is done using the very best methods that they agree

with, and taken straight from the textbooks of physiology.

Too, it allows other good researchers to follow on, and find cross-

connectivity with their own good work. MCS,CFS,FM, Biotoxins, etc.

are bigger than any one person. This takes a concerted effort, with

each one producing the very best they can, IMHO, including the good

work people are doing on this site.

I guess it all could be exciting, if it weren't so tragic.

Blessings,

Zippy
