FIB - Scams 101 - Ye Olde Archives
Posted By: MaaMaw In Response To: Re: Richard, I must comment(long st).... (Richard Fentimahard Fentiman)

I have worked with and for the medical profession for 25 years, and I've seen A LOT of very bad things happen. As a result, I have become *EXTREMELY* resistant to "following doctor's orders." I educate myself on every diagnosis, theory, drug, treatment, and snippet of advice. I pick it to death. I'm "in their face" if they even look at me cross-eyed, and I would rather be pecked to death by a duck than leave a loved one alone in the hospital for even one hour.
If not for my skepticism and my compulsiveness, my mother and my uncle would have been dead roughly 15 and 10 years ago, respectively.
As for alternative approaches, 20 years ago, I dragged my mother (kicking and screaming) to an M.D. who practices holistic medicine, and he has done *wonders* for her. She was diagnosed with chronic leukemia 25 years ago and lung cancer 18 years ago, but at 80 y/o she still manages to walk more than 4 miles every day.
So please... don't accuse me of being a follower of the medical profession.
Having said that, I know you didn't ask, but I have to echo what Dale said:
I believe there is **TREMENDOUS** danger in promoting alternative treatments and implying that doctors and pharmaceutical companies WANT to make sure you stay sick so you can keep taking their drugs. (I also believe it's complete bullcaca, but I'm trying to be delicate here.)
A combination of traditional medical approaches and "natural" approaches can be healthy -- but eyeing the medical profession with suspicion as if they have an ulterior financial motive can be deadly.
Lots of people have no sense at all when it comes to this stuff.
If you get your newsletter off the ground, it gives me the crawls to think how many of your readers might decide to blow off their doctor's advice and die as a result.
Luv,

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures. Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so.

You are likewise prohibited from posting any false claims against any company or individual. We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials.

In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
