Guest guest Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 Please don't be offended - I'm sure that whoever posted this was just letting off steam. We've all experienced so much frustration (and wasted so much $$$) with a lot of doctors, that sometimes we need to vent. I'm sure they realize that there are many doctors out there, like your husband, who are wonderful and caring. Many others are not, including the kabillions of pediatricians who told us that it's perfectly normal for our 2 year old children to have lost all language and eye contact - just a phase; bring her back when she's three. (So, a year goes by....) That's one of the kinds of things that's so frustrating! I'm truly sorry your feelings were hurt - please try to understand that your husband is probably in a minority in a lot of these people's eyes.... > > > I am deeply offended by your remark!

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 I am deeply offended by your remark! My husband is an M.D. with an undergraduate degree in Chemistry. He was trained to practice conservative, evidence based medicine. He still believes in the ART and SCIENCE of medicine. He abhors the BUSINESS of medicine and how it affects patients. He is board certified in Emergency Medicine, also board certified in Forensic Medicine and a board certified Forensic Examiner. He is a firm believer in " Nutraceuticals " and travels all over the country giving lectures to physician's (and lay people) regarding the many benefits and (some) dangers of vitamins and herbs. He does not represent a product nor do we sell anything. He does not recommend a particular brand nor does he do paid endorsements. He DOES, however, contact the vitamin and herbal manufacturers to determine ALL ingredients in their products, whether or not they do quality assurance testing on EVERY batch. In his spare time time, he volunteers as Medical Director at the local Community Clinic for the underprivileged, serves as President for our local Caring Communities organization, serves on the board of Violence Free Families, serves as President of one of the largest medical societies in our State, serves on the Editorial Board of the State Medical Association Journal. Plus numerous committee assignments for his hospital. He is the Medical Director of the website for one of the largest hospitals in our state and answers questions from all around the world. He is a strong advocate of patient information, does a weekly radio program (at no charge) called the Medical Minute to promote health awareness and prevention, encouraging people to be fully involved in their own health care decisions. Not only is my husband a caring and committed physician, he is a WONDERFUL husband and father! Our eight year old son has been diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome. Therefore, in addition to all of his other responsibilities and duties, he is working tirelessly researching (and currently preparing a letter to JAMA) to help facilitate an understanding in the mainstream medical community regarding the STRONG connection between the mercury in children's vaccines and the neurological " trauma " it causes to children (and adults) . He is earnestly using every opportunity to educate his colleagues on the very real dangers and complications our children are facing because of Thimerosal. He is trying to make a difference one physician at a time (and they ARE beginning to listen). He is ACTIVELY involved in our son's different therapies (i.e. taking karate with us to encourage self-discipline and gross motor control; Cub Scouts to build responsibility and social skills, attending the biofeedback sessions with our son's neuropsychologist, closely monitoring our son's progress with the medications prescribed by the pediatrician, working with our son using computer programs to build language skills and facial recognition skills. etc., etc, etc). Finally, considering he was a licensed, practicing physician at 23 years of age (skipped a year of high school, a year of college and EVEN graduated medical school a year early)...I think it is QUITE safe to say he is NOT a moron!!!! Before you speak next time...realize that you are not the ONLY one grieving over a child harmed by the BUSINESS of medicine and pharmaceuticals. Lujene G.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 The chiropractors call them Mad Dogs. I can't really print what the MD's call the chiropractors. But this obscures the fact that they are mostly ordinary people trapped in a bad system just as much as you and I are. Andy . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 Hi Lujene, Your husband sounds like a wonderful man and a good doctor .We the parents of autistics have had to deal with many arrogant and ignorant doctors .They made us feel like idiots when we questioned the validity of their actions and ended up with autistic children because we trusted and believed in them.We are fortunate that we have a person on the list who can lend credibility to our fight.There have been many wonderful people speaking at the congressional hearings....some were listened to and some were not. Let's hope your husband can make such a tremendous difference that the horrific crime of making children autistic on a daily basis ends immediately.A whole generation of children is being damaged....mostly males.Where will our country be in 20 years when alot of our men have been damaged?(of course I am referring to our military) Pretty scary!Our children even if they recover will never be able to serve because they will probably not be able to receive vaccines ever again.For this reason alone, the government should be acting quickly to stamp out autism. I have questions for your husband that no other doctor has been able to answer fully. Ask him if he would be interested in hearing them.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 Lujene, It sounds like in the case of your husband, MD stands for " much dedication " . Or maybe " mindful devotion " . How wonderful. Moria > I am deeply offended by your remark! My husband is an M.D. with an > undergraduate degree in Chemistry. He was trained to practice conservative, > evidence based medicine.
