Hey Ilena,
How'd you get to be such an expert on breast stuff without having taken a pathology course?? Oh cool! You used to work for Frank
Perdue!!!

So? Aside from gaining a little insight into you based on your "Mark
Probert is a big fat meanie" page, I didn't see any proof that this
Mark Probert is the same as Mark Probert the lawyer. Do you actually
have anything that proves he is/was a lawyer?
Does it matter?
Mark, MD
What? In a small state like New York, do you really think there are more
than on Mark Proberts?
I beleive Ilenapoo could be wrong. In fact, I am sure of it.
And why does it matter, Illeanpoo? I mean what has he said that you can
demonstrate is wrong with real evidence?
All the best,
Jeff

Relevance?
In any case, your page about Mr. Probert is rather revealing, but
probably not in the way you had hoped when you made it. It's more
revealing about you than him.

Joelly ... thanks for asking.
Here's a link to a recent interview:
http://www.humanticsfoundation.com/sellmaninterviewsrosenthal.htm
First, one doesn't need a pathology course to see the harm from
necrosis ... nor to understand the danger of an implant sticking out
of a woman's skin ... your supposition is wrong.
As far as how I got involved ... here's a link to a recent interview
with me that explains some of how I got so deeply involved in this God
forsaken issue.
I've been involved for years in women's issues ... in college, I was
an early volunteer in the Planned Parenthood in the late 1960's.
Nearly 30 years ago, while working as a real estate saleswoman, before
I became a Broker, I was on a small team of women who started the
first Woman's Crisis Center in that community ... in fact, my home was
a shelter for women to come to after being raped ... I would take care
of them and let them soak in my jacuzzi and let them cry and talk and
eventually laugh ...
A handful of us developed a "rape kit" for the hospitals to use to
examine women with the most effecitve and least invasive ways. We
would be present too, when the police interviewed the rape victims ...
to ensure they didnt feel "raped" again ... that was not uncommon in
those days.
I always had a high awareness of breast implants ... in fact, one of
my best friends got them in 1970 ... and at that time ... I found her
a doctor that used saline instead of silicone gel ... thinking that
would be safer. Interestingly enough, she still has them ... the
early, "industrial strength" versions ... altho her health could
certainly be better.
In early 1995, 5 separate women discussed with my in detail their
horrific experiences with their failed implants ... at separate times.
After one of them asked me to do a little research on her behalf ... I
checked into the net and was astonished at what I read.
There was no support system ... and the only Usenet discussion was
being bullied by a veep of silicone maker McGhan who refused to
identify himself ... and a few silicone attorneys and some dumb doctor
want-a-bees.
I created alt.support.breast-implant in the Fall of 1995 ... and since
then have met and communicated with mulpile thousands of women ...
every one a case history ... not an "anecdote."
I learned that the doctors brave enough to speak out on the dangers
were losing their jobs and their grants and being called "junk
scientists" while the Queen of Junk Science" ... then NEJM Editor
Marcia Angell ... was selling the industry lies to the media that her
best estimate of rupture was "4-6%" ...
The booklet I wrote the year she published hers cited several studies
with rates of 50% and higher ...
I have had the benefit of not being programmed by the
medical/pharmaceutical industries ... I began with no bias ... and
without my income tied to selling implants like the Plastic Surgeons.
I don't know it all Joelly ... but I do know that hundreds of
thousands of women have serious and sometimes fatal problems linked to
their implants ... and that a huge cover up continues regarding the
failure of implants continues to this day.
I don't claim to be a doctor like some here do like Jeffie the Blind
... nor do I claim to have never been a lawyer ... like the failed
attorney Mark S Probert.

What began as a small research project for a
friend with tumors and cysts around her 20 year old saline implants in
August, 1995, has become an amazing adventure for Ilena beyond anything
she could have imagined.

This is you also right?
One person commented how the awards, paid because of the "dishonest
conduct" of the attorney ... frequent poster Mark S Probert ... was
under $3000 ... yet that 6 people pursued it ... obviously, even tho
the amount was somewhat petty, their desire to protect others was
great enough to go thru the hoops of the NY Bar Association for
reimbursement.
Yes, NY is a big state ... but Probert lives in the 10th district ...
and there are NOT 2 Mark S. Proberts who live there ...
In the past, he has claimed it was his Uncle Mark who was so shamed
...but that too, is a lie ... he has claimed before that Mark Probert
who died years ago and was NOT an attorney, was his uncle.
Why is this important?
Mark fills Usenet with a mythological story of himself as a hero ...
while attacking and harassing those of us who are of a different
opinion on several issues ...
He chose to make me a target after HealthFraud Stevie Barrett
threatened to sue me .. and since then has taken several stupid and
obvious aliases ... to attack me .
He frequently, in his self aggrandizement, thanks people for "playing"
... this is not a game to us who have serious messages that we post on
Usenet.
Thanks for the comments ...

This whine is pretty funny coming from someone whose own lawyer

Geez, talk about nitpicking for the sake of being annoying! It was
mind-numbingly obvious (except, apparently, to you) that I was
expressing nothing more than my opinion in the above post. Given the
context, that was clearly implied and no explicit statement that it was
my opinion was necessary. Indeed, it might have been bad writing style,
as in unnecessarily verbose.
But, for your benefit, I'll respond to your nitpicking in a way that you
can understand: I *think* that your response to me also reveals a bit
about you, *in my opinion.*
There, happy now? ;-)

Okay, I know very little about this Mark Probert confusion, so

lives in the 10th district, and how do you know that there is

OK -
You are into women's issue - fine, I guess you qualify.
You hate Mark - fine.
You have no proof that the two MP's are the same and cannot accept that
there might be two within a reasonable distance of each other - especially
if they are related - OK - I just have to wonder how many Rosenthals there
are in the state of denial.
You don't think you need any personal experience or medical knowledge to
know just how evil breast implants are - if you wish.
My question to you:
How is posting all of this to misc.kids.health anything but stalking or even
remotely on topic?

Yes, BUT they have to provide FULL information to the
patient, including full information about alternative
treatments which are available, whether or not they like
them. That is diagnosis. Even alternatives to the
testing policy need to be discussed; making another trip
to get tested, which does not at this time get considered
as a MEDICAL cost, needs to be included, and the time lost
for other pursuits needs to be treated the same as other
costs. For a doctor to TELL a patient what to do should
be automatic malpractice, unless the situation is urgent
and there are no alternatives. Even in that case, if the
doctor is wrong, the doctor should be liable. So if the
doctor state that the patient needs immediate hospitalization,
and this is not the case, the doctor should be liable for the
costs of the hospitalization, loss of the value of the time
to the patient and to his employer, and even possible damage
to his career. Provide ALL the information, and let the
patient make the decisions.
BTW, it is not that unusual that the patient knows quite
a bit about the disease, often including items which the
particular doctor does not know, or does not know well.
Restricting the choice of action to those who understand
because there are fools often even harms the fools.

Mark isn't a "your" Mark to anyone, except perhaps himself, and his
wife. However, he doesn't tend to dignify baseless comments with a
response. That someone would find this "amusing" suggests that such a
person is playing a game. You'll note that someone also recently
scorned Mark for using the expression "thanks for playing..." (a joke
about game/quiz shows), insisting that things were quite serious.

I really do not want to get into a tussle with you, but, I must respond.
I have stated that I am NOT "Will Ketcher" and you claim that since WK
posts through AOL, and I had posted through AOL, I am WK.
Wrong. Look at the NNTP posting hosts, as you have done several times.
Note the widely disparate addresses. Find ONE of my posts with WK's NNTP
posting host. You cannot, because I am not WK.
Since I know that you will not believe anything I say, why not write to
AOL and ask them for the geographic locations that correspond to the
NNTP posting hosts? Hopefully, that should settle it, once and for all.
AFAIAC, I have no desire whatsoever to engage in any dialogue with you
on any subject. I will not post to you, or about you. I would hope that
others would stop their use of the URL of your odious website.
As far as I am concerned, with the posting of this message, you no

Why would she start actually researching things now?
No link exists between statins and cancer. There is growing data on use
of statins.
The #1 cause of death in the US is the heart, not cancer.
We don't know everything, but we can and should act on what we do know.
People with high cholesterol uncontrolled by diet and lifestyle should
be on statins. Millions of dollars are being spent studying these
drugs, but so far - based on available data - they're relatively safe
and effective.
You misunderstand the possible harm of HRT, btw.
Ilena did similar detective work with me a few years ago -- she
decided that I was some other poster because we were coming in through
the same ISP (rcn.com, a rather large service). The message headers
showed we were using different newsreaders, etc, but Sherlock Ilena
was not deterred by these minor problems.

But, of course, a *spurious* association between statins and cancer could
well exist; since nobody is immortal, everyone who doesn't die of heart
disease has to die of something else, and in many cases that will be
cancer. As I like to say, if homicides, suicides, and auto accidents
dropped to zero you'd see quite a surge in new HIV infections, for the
simple reason that being shot, shooting yourself, and getting into a fatal
car accident are all 100% effective ways of ensuring that you'll never
seroconvert (and, of course, because homicides, suicides, auto accidents
and HIV disease are all things that disproportionately affect young people;
you wouldn't expect to see much of an increase in HIV infections from a
drop in, say, Alzheimer's deaths, because the latter disproportionately
affect a population that has an extremely low rate of new HIV infections.
But you would expect a drop in Alzheimer's deaths to lead to an increase
in cancer deaths).

Even if she could find such a post, it would still not prove that you
were WK. If it showed you and WK were both accessing AOL from the same
non-dialup IP address, that would certainly be very strong (but still
not completely airtight) circumstantial evidence that you were both the
same person, as it would show that you were both using the same computer
and Internet connection. On the other hand, if you and WK were shown to
be using an IP address deriving from the same dialup number, the most
that it would show is that you both live in the same area covered by
that particular AOL dialup number.

Actually, if Ilena is being harrassed by an AOL user she should formally
complain to AOL, which, if the posts to some of the groups in the
news.admin.net-abuse.* hierarchy are any guide, is fairly aggressive
about shutting down people who violate its Terms of Service. AOL would
likely figure out very quickly if it were one or two people harrassing
her.

One does not need to have that much of a knowledge to
understand the diagnosis; besides, if we had a DECENT
educational system, anyone who could graduate high
school would have enough of knowledge to do this.
The physician needs to translate the diagnosis so that
the patient's values and prior assumptions, and they
affect the action to be taken, can be considered.
Right now, because of the fact that this is not done,
physicians do not even have the full information
themselves.
The consultant should be working for the client, and
should act only with the knowledge and consent of the
client; this is in anything, not just medicine. If I
am asked for statistical help, I need to get the values
and assumptions of the client to act intelligently.

Only a fool expects anything intelligent in 15 minutes,
generally. What we have is not insurance at all, but
prepaid care, and the tragedy of the commons is the
result of this. What real insurance is invoked many
times a year?

What is medicine for? If you want to have nanny care, ask
for it, and do not expect others to pay for it. Only
individual responsibility, which demands individual rights,
can get good results.

No, but I do not take the architect's plans without
full consultation, including asking for alternatives,
and I do not automatically accept the architect's
choice of method of construction, or of builder.
Diagnosis needs to present the available methods of
treatment as well, and the probability distributions
of the results. The malpractice laws need to be
revised so that one cannot sue for "bad luck". and
this cannot be eliminated.
In practice I agree with you ......
I am being the "Devil's Advocate," because the wind has shifted too much on this one!

They are more important, and the choice of action to be
taken is more important. But the choice of action to be
taken must not be made for me, assuming that my ideas of
the results are the same as yours.
>Your values do not change my diagnosis!
They SHOULD not change the diagnosis, but they might well
change the treatment. But if your diagnosis rejects
certain possibilities which I consider to be important, but
which you do not, it is your diagnosis which is at fault.
For example, if you do not think it should matter to me
whether I have a certain condition, and thus make no effort
to investigate it, and it does turn out to be the case, you
should bear responsibility for the harm.
Most medical diagnoses are far too incomplete. If a patient
suffers for six months because a physician leaves something
out of the diagnosis, the "pain and suffering" should not be
capped. If someone suffers because the action chosen by the
patient in full knowledge of the medical information available
happens to be wrong, there should be no liability.

I would never have had the present type of insurance, except
that my employer provided it. What we need is MSAs, so that
the tax advantages of employer-provided prepaid care do not
operate, and real insurance for relatively rare events.
There was a proposal for dental "insurance" at Purdue, and I
notice that you are a dentist. There is no way that I could
have considered it remotely reasonable, as the cap on all
dental procedures except orthodontia was far too low. Even
then, it would have cost quite a bit.

The doctor has NOT given an adequate diagnosis. The
diagnosis must include the probabilities of consequences
from the various actions; doctors tend to act as if the
consequences are certain, or if not, to only give some
of the probabilities. A full diagnosis must include the
probabilities of harm from amputation, which is sometimes
given, as well as the probabilities of results from the
various medical treatments, including no treatment, and
the consequences of each, also random. It should also
include costs, not just of the medical procedure, but of
the subsequent consequences. It HAS been recognized that
a patient has the right to refuse treatment which will
prolong life in an unacceptable (to the patient) manner;
it is also the case that physicians are often known to
ignore this, imposing the physicians' values.

I did not create the system. BTW, I doubt that the Purdue
faculty would not rise up against a system which limits
visits to the doctor to fifteen minutes; I have had some
which were even shorter (a brief examination, and agreement
that no further treatment was necessary), but most are much
longer.
We are paying through the nose for "managed" care. To do
something about it, we need to make those making medical
decisions for other than medical reasons financially
responsible for their actions. Unfortunately, Congressmen
and government bureaucrats are immune.

Oh yes you did! YOU (collectively) bought into it!
In the early days of dental "insurance," (which its not by the way, its always dental pre-paid, never indeminification against

The employers were willing to pay yet the employees knew there was danger is leaving their old, trusted, dental provider/friend!
Today loyalty is out the window yet you complain?????

SIMPLE ANSWER:
A medical plan with a $3,000 yearly deductible ............ You pay ,,, unless you have a catastrophic problem, then you get help!
A $850,000 bill is catastrophic ,,,,,,,,,,, a $1,500 is not. You could hold down costs by getting smart. A bone marrow transplant is
$850K. A dental filling is less.
Your plan, your employer, your co-workers, not CONGRESS!!

I can't speak about you because I don't believe I've ever encountered
you before on Usenet. However, while Ilena does not appear to have a
financial interest, she undeniably has such an incredibly strong
emotional investment and personal bias regarding certain treatments over
others and health issues (especially breast implants) that one really
should consider her advice at least as suspect as any advice from
someone with a financial interest in a particular treatment. After all,
to people with financial interests, it's just money. Ilena's biases
appear to be critical to her entire self-image as a lonely "crusader"
fighting against the "evils" of "big medicine" and any post that
questions her assertions is viewed as a personal attack, making her
harden her position. Ilena is no more likely to give unbiased
information than the owner of Dow-Corning, with the added problem that
she is probably much less likely to admit the possibility of her being
wrong about something.
>plus we give advice freely
> and without discrimination or interrogation.
One might point out that free advice is worth what one pays for it,
especially on the Internet, where anyone with a computer and Internet
connection can do it.

Including her frequent posts about Mark Probert, who, as far as I can
tell from my observation over the last couple of months, has been trying
to avoid her?
I'm going to dedicate today's page on

I've not wanted to put my time, money and energy any more in defending
your ridiculous psychological voodoo assumptions about me ...
Yet you continue ...
And your History Revision of Probert ... it's ridiculous ... only the
blindest would his outrageous lies about his lies ... did you see his
total fabrication that a woman from my group had wanted his child
dead, Davey?
No one in my group knew about him ... yet he claimed dozens of hate
letters ...
None of that happened ... yet you believe him ...
You also believe he has stopped harassing me? He has just sleazed into
several other names after I outed his Marla Maples ... yet you can't
see it.
If he fooled you ... who claims vast educational and intellectual
superiority ... God help your patients.

No. Why don't you produce it for me? Post your best evidence, and I'll

You haven't really posted anything definitive to convince me. Post your

Please post your evidence then, and I'll consider it.
I really go a laugh when Probate used the name
Marla Maples. It's really a shame he has to
harass you by using that name. A real sick-o, he is!

Apparently Probate infiltrated Ilena Rose's self-help group for women
by using the name Marla. Probate got caught red-handed, and then
denied it, then admitted to it, and then obfuscated the whole issue.
But that is so typical of how he does things. I have asked him
repeatedly to stop his ridiculous accusations and seek help.
For his sake I hope he does!!

The only thing I have noticed about Ilena here (in asad) is that she came
into a newsgroup without any connection to it (i.e., she has admitted to no
ADHD interest)...and the only thing she has done is posted diatribes against
Probert....
....isn't that *exactly* what she complained that he did to her?
How does this make her any different than what she says he did wrong? Does
her action make her different, or isn't this exact same thing?
IOW...it makes her a hypocrite each and every time she gripes about any
actions he supposedly does that are identical to hers....

If Borgie or Fartie wants to claim that I stalk her, I would like Borgie

1. The URLs of the websites I made up about her.
2. The references to the messages where I posted the personal
information of her spouse.
3. The refeences to the messages where I threatened to contact her
spouse as she did to me.
If they cannot, then they should just shut up as they are routine,
