Guest guest Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 Arlyn I only get dental X rays every few times I get my teeth cleaned. Every dentist I go to does not demand I get X rays. I have been to quite a few so I do not understand your statement. It is up to the patient to determine when to have X rays.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 I'm not going to prolong this discussion except to say the following because some things do require correction: Comdyne, you are the only person who talks about 'rebuffing' others. To rebuff means " to refuse bluntly; to snub. " Its usually used in the context of rejection of an unwanted offer or advance. I don't think anyone has rebuffed you here. People are allowed to have differing opinions. I think we all want to stay away from prolonged arguments, but when a member states something categorically as fact that is not factual it is fair to allow others to correct that misinformation. That is not rebuffing. If we let misinformation stand uncorrected it may be harmful to someone who makes some decisions based on the incorrect facts. No one on this list as far as I know talked about binding feet. I made some comments about binding of bodies, in correction of your erroneous comments that 100 years ago people only wore 'bras' for social events and that is how you support your statement that bras cause breast cancer and why there is so much of it today vs earlier in history. My point-and if you're a researcher, do some research on fashions through the history of mankind- is that simply isn't true. People have been wearing far more confining things than bras, made of far less forgiving materials for centuries on a regular basis and they did NOT get breast cancer the same way people are getting it today. A person who's credentials are all tied up in being a researcher is only going to have credibility as long as the facts presented by him/her are correct and as long as he/she is willing to be corrected when appropriate. > > Thanks 4 reminding me to rebuff this comment. 1 in 8 women > develop breast cancer. To me that just about says it all! > > Then there was the comment about binding feet. Give me a break... > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 I presented the information to the group. If some elect not to believe what I say that is their prerogative. All that I have said herein over the last few weeks is information written by doctors. Many of them had great success with some of the things I have mentioned here. I also have pointed out influiences today that didn't exist way back when, but that isn't to say thats all there is to it. I keep it brief because I have found the concept of Ockham's Razor to often prove true. I presented the info about the relationship to the wearing of bras and the stats researchers gathered in breast cancer. If you choose to ignore it, so be it, but that doesn't change the outcome of the research. The bottom line is that when one obstructs any form of circulation of the body humors, trouble often follows. Caveat Emptor! ....when a member states something categorically as fact that is not factual it is fair to allow others to correct that misinformation. That is not rebuffing. If we let misinformation stand uncorrected it may be harmful to someone who makes some decisions based on the incorrect facts. ....People have been wearing far more confining things than bras, made of far less forgiving materials for centuries on a regular basis and they did NOT get breast cancer the same way people are getting it today. > A person who's credentials are all tied up in being a researcher is > only going to have credibility as long as the facts presented by > him/her are correct and as long as he/she is willing to be corrected > when appropriate.
