I did not do anything to treat the problem on Friday. On Saturday, I
took it more seriously and decided that the problem must be due to an
infection inside my mouth. So, I started out gargling with H2O2.
Nothing happened. So, I then preceded to stuff my left cheek full of
cotton balls soaked in H2O2. Still no relief. So, by the end of
Saturday I decided to give up on the H2O2. And, switched to vitamins.
20,000 IU's of vitamin A. And, 30 mg of Zinc. Plus two grams of
vitamin C. I woke up twice Saturday night and took two more grams of
vitamin C each time.
On Sunday morning, eating applesauce and drinking a cold Pepsi was
painful. I repeated my dosage of vitamin A and Zinc. I took two more
grams of vitamin C. Still nothing happened. In fact, it felt like the
infection had traveled up to my left ear. I was convinced by early
Sunday afternoon that I would have to see a doctor on Monday. I
repeated taking 2 grams of vitamin C a couple of more times. Then at
approximately 6 pm on Sunday, I ate some chicken pain free. I felt
remarkably better. My ear ache had disappeared. I again took two more
dosages of 2 grams of vitamin C, a few hours apart.
The fleshy spot below my ear lobe still feels slightly sore, but it is
no longer painful to eat. And, what ever I had it sure managed to go
from one extreme to the other in the space of a few hours on Sunday,
New Year's Day 2006. And, I no longer have that feeling that an
infection in your face/ear gives you.
So, tell me scientists: What cured my inflamed jaw/cheek?
I do not know for sure, but I sure as heck will try vitamin C the next
time this problem happens again.

I'm more concerned with what may have caused the pain and swelling than
speculating about if and how vitamin c may have "cured" the problem.
You should be examined. If I were a betting man, I'd guess that you
have a sialadenitis of the parotid gland. This may be caused by a stone
in the duct, and if so it is likely that the pain and swelling will recur.
My recommendation is to be examined by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon.

I assumed as such. But I just thought I'd post appropriate advice anyhow.

Maybe it was a stone or what ever?. Maybe the vitamin C dissolved the
stone? Maybe, vitamin C got rid ot the infection or what ever?
Once I actually got an appendicitis attack, but it went away all by
itself. It came back years later, and I thought that it would probably
go away again. And, waited too long to go to the hospital. If this
problem happens again, then I might know what it is.
The last time, I went to the doctor they gave me so much grief over
absolutely nothing that I really don't think that they would respond
too well to a request to examine a non-existing problem. Of course,
they would be happy to screw me on the bill for their services.
I have suffered through out my life from a number of different
problems.
At one time, my hands used to lock up from some type of a neurological
problem. I used also to suffer from corporal tunnel syndrome because
my hands would tingle all the time.
The fact that my taking vitamin E might have cured or at least managed
my neurological problems without the need of a cackle of doctors, is
something that you people don't want to accept. I have had no repeated
episodes of my hands locking up in about 20 years.
The way I look at it, you are NOT dead until you are dead. So, far
the other people in my age bracket are dropping dead faster than me. :)
Just thought that you might want to know.

The history of these things is that attacks tend to be episodic. The
pain and swelling may spontaneously remit, then relapse.
Any comment I made regarding vitamin C would be pure speculation.
Of course, if the condition has completely resolved, it may well be
more difficult to determine the cause of your recent attack. But if
there is any residual pain or swelling, or if the symptoms return, try
to get in to a surgeon promptly. This will make determining the cause
easier.

Perhaaps, 'tincture of time"? For all we know, your tries at cure slowed down
nature's own cure. That's the trouble with anecdotes.

Your immune system. But you obviously have to work on it since it
apparently is not as perfect yet as you claimed it is, or you would not
have gotten this inflammation in the first place now would you.

Oh yes please do. One of these days it's bound to be something your

NO! Never!
And, anybody who claims that they never get is a liar.
What I do claim is a quick recovery time.
I went to work Thursday nauseated. As expected, I recovered in about 3
hours. I did throw up about 3 times in the process. The next day, I
discovered that eating food was painful. So, I thought: Gee this
might have something to do with me throwing up the day before? I did
nothing about it. The problem got worst. A lot worst. When I finally
tried using vitamin C after initially having bought into all your crap
about vitamin C the problem resolved within a few hours.
I know precisely why I got nauseated, too. It came from a headache
that started the day before. The headache comes from a chronic dental
problem from one specific 'amalgam shadow' on my upper jaw. I had all
my teeth extracted in '91. When I had all my rotten teeth, I had major
big time dental headaches. I took 3 adult size aspirins every night
for at least 10 years. After, I started wearing dentures. These
dental headaches quickly dissappeared. I had virtually no problems or
dental headaches for at least 10 years. But, lately these dental
headaches have developed.
Finally, I went to a dentist about this problem. He refused to do
anything about it because he said it was a medical problem. No teeth,
therefore no nerves, therefore no pain, therefore no problem. Yet, it
still manages to get me occasionally nauseated. So, I theorized that
my jaw must be getting inflamed from infections. That theory is not
working completely, but it seems to help.
That is the problem with conventional medicine. Nobody takes
responsibility for solving these types of unique problems. Heck,
conventional medicine even refuses to admit that I have a problem at
all.
Actually, I have a long history of problems with the left side of my
face which started with a fractured cheek bone and the medical
treatment to cure it. The left side of my face ended up totally numb
for approximately 10 years. Somehow, over time the numbness went away
and now it feels totally normal.
Again, a few years back I had a thyroid problem again only on the left
side of my face. That feeling was totally different from this feeling.
Again, I did absolutely nothing about it for 2 or 3 months. Finally I
went to the doctor. She diagnosed it as a thyroid problem. And, she
screwed me on a bunch of unnecessary blood tests. I self medicated
with vitamins and the thyroid problem self-corrected within one month.
I will probably have problems with the left side of my face until I
die, Jack. What is your problem? Got a bug up your arse?
> Of course, if the condition has completely resolved, it may well be
> more difficult to determine the cause of your recent attack.
Yes, as of this morning the problem appears to be have completely
resolved. And, I do not see how 'Patient First' or any HMO in the
country would take my complaints seriously at this point.
Call me crazy Monty, but what I am supremely confident about is the
fact that dietary PUFAs in general had absolutely nothing to do with my
problem. :)
By the way, Pepsi makes a great laxative. It might actually cure your
bug-up-the-arse problem.
Just thought that you might want to know, that you must be really
desperate to try to make a PUFA connection.
You have my condolences.
Considering your symptoms are typical for a real, identifiable and
rather common condition, I don't know why you would say this, unless it
is a comment on your perception of the quality of the HMOs in question.

Since, you appear to be a dentist can you be a little bit more
specific? What do you call this common condition? What is the usual
course of treatment? What kind of a doctor does the treatment?
The dentist that I had talked too sure was not very helpful.
Again the standard disclaimer: I haven't examined you, this is just a
speculation based upon your description of the symptoms.
I believe the most likely diagnosis is sialadenitis, perhaps combined
with sialolithiasis (salivary stones). The treatment depends upon the
cause. If it is a stone, standard treatment is removal, which may
require canulization or surgery. Oral surgeons do this commonly.

We were basically both right on this issue. :)
Vitamin C did the trick.
I had the right cure, but specified the wrong reason. Saliva excretion
is stimulated by ascorbic acid and that is what apparently did the
trick.
I found out a few interesting things.
#1 Saliva excretion is stimulated by ascorbic acid.
#2 Impaired salivary flow is a common, chronic, autoimmune,
inflammatory connective tissue disease, that is similar to autoimmune
thyroiditis. (Autoimmune thyroiditis could be what I have, or was
recently suffering from?)

Pathogenesis of idiopathic calcium nephrolithiasis: update 1997.
Baggio B, Plebani M, Gambaro G.
Institute of Internal Medicine, School of Medicine, University of
Padua, Italy.
Idiopathic calcium nephrolithiasis (ICN) is a frequent disease in
Western countries. The physicochemical theory of lithogenesis, which
explains stone formation by the precipitation, growth, and crystalline
aggregation of lithogenic salts in the urine, has contributed greatly
to the understanding of the pathogenesis of calcium urolithiasis.
However, several aspects are still unexplained; the co-existence of
familial occurrence, primary tubular dysfunctions with ICN, and
anomalies in the systemic handling of oxalate and calcium led to the
development of a cellular hypothesis of ICN. A number of cellular
defects in the handling of ions has been reported that involves both
anion and cation transport. These anomalies are probably the expression
of a still unknown cellular defect in idiopathic calcium stone formers.
We suggested that an anomaly in the cell membrane composition might be
responsible for the complex array of cell ion flux abnormalities
observed in ICN. Recently, a disorder in the n-6 polyunsaturated fatty
acid series has been described; it is characterized by a lower linoleic
acid content and a higher arachidonic acid concentration in both plasma
and erythrocyte membrane phospholipids of renal calcium stone patients.
This anomaly could cause an increased activity of ion carriers;
furthermore, it may lead to increased prostaglandin synthesis and to
secondary phenomena at the kidney, skeletal, and intestinal level. As a
consequence, critical conditions for lithogenesis in the kidney may
ensue. The data suggest a common pathogenesis for hypercalciuria and
hyperoxaluria. The systemic defect in the phospholipid arachidonic acid
level may be both of dietary or genetic origin; experimental data
suggest that the increase in delta-6 desaturase activity, the limiting
enzyme in the metabolic pathway of polyunsaturated fatty acids, might
be relevant to the pathogenesis of lipid abnormalities observed in
nephrolithiasis and to the pathogenesis of ICN and its related problems
(at the kidney, intestinal, and bone level).
On to this particular condition:
J Oral Sci. 2004 Dec;46(4):227-33.
Extracellular matrix molecules in chronic obstructive sialadenitis:
an immunocytochemical and Western blot investigation.
Teymoortash A, Mandic R, Schrader C, Werner JA.
Department of Otolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery, Philipps
University, Marburg, Germany. teym...@med.uni-marburg.de
The exact pathomechanism of inflammation progress and fibrosis in
chronic sialadenitis is unknown. Connective tissue growth factor
(CTGF), matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of
metalloproteinases (TIMPs) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of
various fibrotic conditions. These factors are thought to be essential
in the regulation of extracellular matrix turnover and the development
of tissue fibrosis. In the present study, the expression of CTGF,
MMP-2, -3, -9, -13 and TIMP-3 was examined in chronic obstructive
sialadenitis. Tissue samples of 13 patients with chronic sialadenitis
of the submandibular gland associated with sialolithiasis and 4 normal
tissue samples of the submandibular gland were analyzed
immunohistochemically and by Western blot analysis. An intense CTGF
immunoreactivity was observed in the ductal system of inflamed salivary
glands, whereas in normal glands no reactivity or a very low CTGF
immunoreactivity was present. Immunohistochemical studies revealed a
low to strong reactivity of MMP-2, -3, -9, -13, and TIMP-3 in the
ductal system, in acinar cells and in lymphomonocytic infiltrates in
normal and inflamed tissues. The expression of MMP-2, -3, -9, -13, and
TIMP-3 was confirmed by Western blotting in all cases. Over-expression
of CTGF in chronic obstructive sialadenitis suggests that this factor
may play a role in glandular fibrosis. However, the physiological role
of MMP-2, -3, -9, -13, and TIMP-3 in normal glands, as well as their
possible role in inflammation progress and fibrosis in chronic
obstructive sialadenitis, remains to be elucidated.
Oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation are known to be causational in
the processes described in the above study, and if we add the first
study, which is about a similar condition, an obvious hypothesis
concerning PUFAs and these kinds of disorders presents itself. All
that is needed is an on point study. Why that has not been done seems
to be related to the "pass the buck" nature of so much science today.
That is, the people working at the molecular level say, "gee, what
could be causing this?" And the nutritionists say, "well, we'll give
out diet questionnaires, and see what turns up." However, they have
something like lard classifed as a "saturated fat," which is very
misleading, as I've explained many times here before, so they come to
the erroneous conclusion that "saturated fat" is to blame, when in fact
it is the combination of a fat high in unsaturated fatty acids (lard is
about 60% UFAs), no antioxidant protection (which is true for lard),
and then the processing, refining, cooking, that can create dangerous
levels of lipid peroxidation in your body. Forming stones in various
places is the least of it, though not necessarily in terms of pain,
monetary cost, etc. Some oils can vary greatly in this context. Olive
oil is the most interesting. It can be "healthy" if it is high quality
and eaten in a raw and fresh form, or it can be so bad that it is used
in the same experiments as lard is to determine how good various herbs
and spices are in preventing lipid peroxidation. One could not use
coconut oil in these kinds of experiments, because the 92% saturated
fatty acids act as a barrier to lipid peroxidation reactions, and the
experiment would take way too long. In one batch of coconut oil I
purchased, a mold started to grow on the bottom of the container after
a year or so, but the oil was still good on top. With highly
unsaturated fats or oils, the fats break down due to exposure to air,
not because a "bug" wants a "free lunch," and that includes "lard," the
supposed "saturated fat." Until "nutritional scientists" learn some
biochemistry it appears these kinds of problems will persist, with
accompanying erroneous advice being given by "experts" of one sort or
another.
Patol Fiziol Eksp Ter. 1991 Jul-Aug;(4):48-50.
[The mechanisms of disordered oxidative metabolism at different
stages of acute experimental inflammation of the salivary glands]
[Article in Russian]
Rozenblats AV, Volozhin AI.
Acute purulent sialadenitis was modelled in experiments on rabbits
by injecting Staphylococcus aureus. Follow-up of the development of
inflammation showed an intimate relation between changes of the level
of gland oxygenation and the values characterizing tissue respiration,
carbohydrate metabolism, and lipid peroxidation.
They might take you seriously if it's the first time they ever meet you.
Couple of points:
1) Impaired salivary flow can have many causes. One is Sjogren's
syndrome which is considered autoimmune. I have no reason to believe
that this is your problem. It is characterized by (among other things)
a PAINLESS enlargement of the parotid glands. This has no relationship
to a garden variety parotitis (with or without stones)
2) It is properly called salivary SECRETION, not EXCRETION--we are not
dealing with a waste product here.
It's possible the additional vitamin c was of some benefit if your
facial tissues were inflammed. Your overall nutrient status is already
a factor in your body's ability to heal itself. At the same time,
people assume that supplemental nutrients have the ability to impact
their physical structure more quickly than is normally possible. Most
illness is a direct consequence of a nutritional deficiency, but
"direct" doesn't necessarily mean "immediate." For instance, heart
disease can result from long-standing iron, vitamin c, magnesium, or
other deficiencies, however because of the synergist-antagonist
relationships of nutrients to one another, the illness usually doesn't
become symptomatic for a period of years, or at least months. Proper
treatment necessarily involves a variety of nutrients applied over a
similar period of time (though usually less than the time it took to
become chronically ill), before the disease reverses. In your case,
the body's normal recovery process was the means for relieving your
pain, however the application of vitamin therapy probably wasn't
responsible for most of your improvement in real time. The greatest
benefit to your health from the additional vitamin c and zinc will be
their effect on your overall nutrient homeostasis, reducing your chance
for future illness.
PeterB
That was a cut & paste from the abstract that was supposedly written by
people who know what they are doing. :(
Perhaps the vitamin C merely unblocked the blockage? Until I hear
other wise, that is the physical mechanism of what happened to me. Of
course, if it comes back any time soon ...
It was nano-gnomes. For sure. With their little nano-pickaxes, they
picked and axed all day long and 'unblocked the blockage'.
So, there you have it, you heard otherwise now. And I wouldn't simply
dismiss this 'physical mechanism' of what happened since it has at least
as much evidence going for it as your own claims regarding 'natural
health' do (and even more evidence for it then most of PeterB's claims I
might add).
> Of course, if it comes back any time soon ...
Why, that would mean you haven't treated it 'holistically'. You only
removed the symptoms, not the underlying cause. You practised eeeevil
allopathic medicine then!
Actually, Mr. N applied an intervention, then got well. That appears
to be all the evidence you and your team need to promote vaccine,
cancer drugs, and other unproven "medicine." As for evidence, I've
always backed up what I say with scientific references, and if you read
my response in this thread, you'll see I haven't made unsubstantiated
claims about the short-term effects of supplements. Anyway, thanks for
the monkey dance....mha can always use a laugh.

Ah, there is some of that old MrNaturalhealth coming back. Still a long
way to go back to the guy who insisted he was impervious to any and all
infections because of his perfect health and nutritional status though.
Bless; he's counting Rath's site as a scientific reference.
And he refers to whale.to as a scientific reference! (As when he came
up with this unverifiable pile of crap by an unfindable "researcher":

You're right, I forgot that he also has his own definition of 'science'.
Maybe he is related to Michael Behe!
If you read what I wrote, you'll understand that I'm not refuting your
experience. The one thing our resident pharma bloggers say that's true
is that most acute conditions are self limiting, ie., they subside "on
their own" with or without treatment. Of course, what they overlook is
that nothing happens in human health without nutrients, and your
condition would be no excpetion. That doesn't mean your condition
would not have resolved using your existing store of nutrients even
without additional vitamins.
Works for me.

"Benjamin Rush (1745-1813) was a member of the Continental Congress, a

influential American doctor of his time. He is, also, the classic
example of everything that is wrong with allopaths."
"Some allopaths, like Rush, used science, but none of them used the
scientific method in their practices."
Sorry to inform you, but YOU are NOT:
1. Practicing the scientific method, now.
2. Furthering the noble cause of the scientific method, now.
Anybody can claim to believe in science, but that is not what counts.
Nor, has it ever counted.
Only the scientific method counts, and you dear fool are NOT presently
engaging in the scientific method in any shape, way, or form.
What you are presently doing is engaging in slime-bucket tactics, that

Maybe you wait patiently doing absolutely nothing, but I do NOT.
Just thought that you might want to know, if a car tries to run you
over you should get out of the way. But, of course if you simply
pretend that the car is NOT in front of you, it doesn't mean that it
wouldn't have avoided you anyhow. Does it, Dumb Dumb?
Believe it or not, I'm on your side. I also take vitamin c during a
cold, but I do this because I know the body expends more vitamin c
during illness, not because I expect to have immediate alleviation of
symptoms using this particular nutrient. It's not simply a question of
taking action, it's a question of knowing which nutrients provide the
desired effect, whether that effect is long-term, or short-term.
During a bout with influenza, for instance, I choose to take N-acetyl
cysteine over echinacea, because it raises white blood cell production
and reduces the risk of respiratory infection, and shortens the length
of the illness. If vitamin c was helpful in your particular case, I'm
all for it.
PeterB
I thought that with your perfect state of health and superior immune system
you never got influenza. Look out when the next pandemic hits.

Vitamin C is for preventing colds. Zinc treats a cold. And, Echinacea
does neither.

Zinc gluconate glycine lozenges reduce cold duration and
frequency, as well as concomitant antibiotic use, in children.
Researchers from the Heritage Center, Provo, Utah, United States,
examined the medical charts of 496 school-aged subjects before and
after the introduction of zinc gluconate glycine lozenges
(Cold-Eeze). Previous controlled trials suggested that the
lozenges reduced cold duration.
The authors defined a cold based on the presence of at least two
specified signs or symptoms on the same day. They used patient or
medical staff reports and cold medication usage to determine the
cold's duration."

ABSTRACT:
"Therapy with zinc gluconate glycine lozenges significantly
reduced cold duration and antibiotic use in school-aged subjects."
------------------------
COMMENTS:
If you feel like you are getting a cold, then take about a gram of
vitamin C every 30 minutes to a hour, for about six hours.
Sometimes, you don't respond quick enough with the vitamin C and
end up with a cold. Once you have come down with a full blown
cold, I personally find that taking zinc lozenges is more
effective than vitamin C.

NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - People who exercise regularly appear
to be less likely than couch potatoes to catch colds, US
researchers report.
"Our research provides evidence that being active may actually
reduce the number of colds people get in a year," lead author Dr.
Charles E. Matthews of the University of South Carolina in
Columbia told Reuters Health.
Given that colds are a leading cause of visits to the doctor and
missed work days, Matthews added that employers might do well to
encourage their workers to get off their duffs on a regular
basis."

Nutritional Boost Helps Elderly Ward Off Colds
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/news/fullstory_16288.html
"Reuters Health
By Alison McCook
Thursday, February 26, 2004
NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - A nutritional supplement
containing antioxidants, vitamins and minerals appears to
boost immune system functioning in the elderly, new research
indicates.
Elderly participants who downed the specially formulated
supplement for around 6 months experienced fewer days with
cold symptoms, and were more likely to show a strong immune
response to a flu vaccine - a sign their bodies were well
primed to fight off future infections.
Study author Dr. Bobbi Langkamp-Henken told Reuters Health
that supplements are particularly important for the elderly,
many of whom become deficient in the nutrients they need to
stay healthy due to decreased mobility, diet restrictions
resulting from chronic disease and chewing or swallowing
problems, she said."
SOURCE:
Langkamp-Henken B, Bender BS, Gardner EM.
Nutritional formula enhanced immune function and reduced
days of symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection in
seniors.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=14687308&dopt=Abstract
J Am Geriatr Soc. 2004 Jan;52(1):3-12.
PMID: 14687308
This Article Concluded:
""A healthy, well-balanced diet that includes a variety of
foods would be the ideal way to get the nutrients we need to
stay healthy. Unfortunately, this is not always possible"
for many elderly, Langkamp-Henken said.
The supplement featured in the current study contained a
variety of nutrients that previous studies have suggested
may increase immune functioning in seniors, such as zinc and
selenium, she noted.
The formula is not yet commercially available, but
Langkamp-Henken said she hopes that these findings encourage
people to distribute it on a wide scale. The supplement was
developed by Abbott Laboratories, who also funded the
research.
During the study, Langkamp-Henken and her team followed 34
people over the age of 65 for 183 days, half of whom
consumed an 8-ounce dose of the nutrition-boosting formula
every day. Participants noted how many days they experienced
cold symptoms.
Reporting in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society,
Langkamp-Henken and her team found that, as a group, people
who received the formula experienced a total of 78 sick
days, compared with more than 150 sick days among the
un-supplemented group.
In addition, people who received the supplement were more
likely than others to show a large increase in
infection-fighting antibodies after being vaccinated against
the flu.
Langkamp-Henken, who is based at the University of Florida
in Gainesville, said the supplement may help boost immune
function among a large number of seniors because it contains
many different nutrients, thereby addressing people's
individual needs."
------------------------
Comment:
While this study talks about a nutritional supplement, I
have classified it as diet. Diet may be either eaten or
drunk (as either custom blended and/or juiced food or from a
purchased canned formula).
In this study "subjects in the experimental group consumed
an average of 7 ounces of formula daily." Hence, I would
conclude that they are talking about a liquified meal
replacement food product like Ensure.
Obviously, if you are eating an adequate diet, the next best
option is to drink a balanced diet. On the bottom of this
list would be the option of drinking products like Ensure.
Some people actually like the taste of this stuff. Also,
the elderly general lose their sense of taste. That is
probably why they can tolerate stuff like Ensure better than
I can.

So am I. But since this is only a single case, we really don't know
whether the C did it or not. Maybe something he took earlier did it.
Maybe it would have resolved regardless. This is the problem with
anecdotal data -- it's way too subject to the 'post hoc' fallacy.

Belive it or not, I'm on your side. I also take vitamin c on a daily
basis, and if I get the sniffles, I take more. It's not a question of
taking action, it's a question of how quickly a nutraceutical approach
alleviates symptoms. In terms of managing symptoms, synthetic drugs
give a nearly immediate effect, but they don't promote healing. In
terms of improving nutritional stores, nutrients give a nearly
immediate effect (and promote healing) but are slow to alleviate
symptoms. It depends on the condition. Every illness responds
differently to nutrient therapy because each one represents a different
set of metabolic errors. We choose from a variety of nutrients based
on our knowledge of their effects and benefits. If you have a cold,
you may choose to take echinacea, for instance. But do you choose the
purpea or the angustafolia species? What about selenium. Which form
do you take? The same question applies to vitamins A, D, E, and so on.
During a bout with influenza (or even a cold), I choose N-acetyl
cysteine over echinacea because NAC increases white blood cell
production in real time and reduces both the length of illness and odds
for upper respiratory infection. If the vitamin c did reduce your
inflammation or remove a blockage in real time, I'm all for it.

NEWSFLASH!
People in pain don't care about your 'post hoc' fallacy!
Vitamin C, Natural Health, or Moi did the trick for me. What I care
about is NOT having to go see a nasty doctor, and their crappy office
staff, just so I can get screwed out of my money. And, above all I
don't want to be operated on when something as simple as vitamin C
works and has been known to work since 1980 per the full text of the
research study that I posted.
Just thought that you might want to know.
No, they care about getting better. And your touching story is of
virtually no use to them.

Gee, Mr. Unnatural Acts, I'm glad you don't have a big fat chip on

addition to your sanity, which many people already question).

I got better by taking vitamin C.
And, the ONLY 'they' in this story are the slimy science people who
will go to any length to avoid admitting that Vitamin C was the correct
solution, documented by at least one research study dated 1980.
It is about time that you Geeks actually kept up with the literature.

Your posts were a little timid last week, I see you have fully recovered
to your old overconfident self again, despite the fact that your perfect
nutritional status did not protect you from getting sick in the first
place, contrary to your claims it would.
Ah, Mr Unnatural.

"Benjamin Rush (1745-1813) was a member of the Continental Congress, a
signer of the Declaration of Independence, a combater of yellow fever,

influential American doctor of his time. He is, also, the classic
example of everything that is wrong with allopaths."
"Some allopaths, like Rush, used science, but none of them used the
scientific method in their practices."
Sorry to inform you, but YOU are NOT:
1. Practicing the scientific method, now.
2. Furthering the noble cause of the scientific method, now.
Anybody can claim to believe in science, but that is not what counts.
Nor, has it ever counted.
Only the scientific method counts, and you dear fool are NOT presently
engaging in the scientific method in any shape, way, or form.
What you are presently doing is engaging in slime-bucket tactics, that
actually mocks the high road of the scientific method.
Just my opinion, but I am right as usual.

References? Hyperlinks? Exactly where did you get this from?
I am on the record for saying that healthy people do NOT routinely get
sick. If you do, you are doing something wrong. Any other quote is
clearly take out of context.
I have never ever claimed that I do NOT sick. My health history has
been posted so many times, you probably know it better than your own.
If I happen to have made that statement in a newsgroup post: Bite
Me!!! I could NOT care less Warthog. :)
> "I NEVER stay sick for more than 8 hours." (except for this time?)
Define sick? I was referring to nausea.
If I was sick longer than 8 hours in this case, it was because I waited
a couple of days before taking any extra vitamin C. And, when I did I
got better in about 8 hours. :)
Just thought that you Brits might want to get a life.

No, you were referring to flu. Having just said that you had never had
the flu, you said "When I do get sick, I NEVER stay sick for more than
8 hours." A contradiction in itself.

Ah, Mr Unnatural realises he's contradicted himself (again), has no

Oh no. As usual, he pretends it didn't happen and resorts to his usual
idiotic invective.
No, you took vitamin C, and later got better. So maybe the C did it
and maybe it didn't, and that says nothing about what anyone else
should do, since even if it did work on you, it might not work on
humans.
Would that degree be available at the same place you got your advanced

What?
Are you saying that you cannot understand or even use the English

questions over and over again.
I recommend that you take Vitamin C until you manage to flush out that

I am perfectly healthy and in excellent health, thank you.

distinction of being the only AltNut ever criticized by Jan Drew? Do you
realize that this event could have possible ripped space-time irreparably?

So are the notices I get right after January 15 about the garbage

We know who the idiots are, and they are you.
But there is a hilarious Freudian slip greased by a guilty conscience,
compliment of Aloha Rich.

Freudian slip or typo? I prefer typo.
Do you hate Rotweilers?
As usual, he is LYING.
When Bill Ross was being treated badly on the HC list by Tim
Bolen and Hulda's brother, I not only told the group I would be no part of
it.

Someone was being abused by TimBolen (mouthpiece for Hulda Clark) and the
target told the list abouta message from Bolen. The post included a quote
from
someone calling themselves "Jan" which appeared to support what Bolen was
doing. As there were at least two possible "Jans" I could think of, I was
simply asking for clarification. Jan Drew has now publicly dissociated
herself
from the disgusting behaviour of Tim Bolen and Leo Regehr, andI have no
reason
to doubt her sincerity on this.

Frankly, I do not recall reading the original message from Peter. I know
you will call me a liar, though, since your reaction is a kneeJERK.
As for what was done, I hope your disassociation was more than "it is
not me." What is posted does not address that point.

It is a 50-50 chance it could be either. Of course, YOU will select the
negative, since you are a negative person, and I, of course, will select
the positive, since I am a perpetual optimist.
Frankly, dumber than a box of rocks, the original message from Peter is
right clearly posted!
I know you will call me a liar, though, since your reaction is a kneeJERK.
You do NOT know, dumber than a box of rocks, since YOU accuse me of your
EXACT guilt.

Within the message you posted this time. I was referring to the ORIGINAL
message, jerk, and, of course, you took the opportunity to be a bitch.

No, I predicted a nasty response, and, lo and behold...that is what I got.

No, Jan, this is not drivel, although you do want to dismiss it:
As for what was done, I hope your disassociation was more than "it is
not me." What is posted does not address that point.
Now, do address the point I made, or this this another one of those no
response issues because you know I SAW THROUGH YOU?
Totally irrelevant!

NO, you did NOT predict!
You stated you knew.
*I know you will call me a liar, though, since your reaction is a kneeJERK*

You are a loser, Markey.

What disassociation? It is not me? What in the world are you talking about?

I have absolutely NO idea what you are talking about, other that the FACT,
that YOU are diverting from the issue.
You have LIED several times and called me names!!
Now, what is it you want to know?

Now, do address the point I made, or this this another one of those no
I have clarified my rhetorical statement on my web site about never
getting sick.
http://naturalhealthperspective.com/contact/agenda.html
"Healthy people are not chronically sick. Rather, they are normally
healthy. And, almost never get sick. And, when they do get sick they
tend to experience a quick recovery from illness when given the
appropriate natural therapy."
Notice how this statement is listed as #1.
In case there are any readers who are suffering form age related
dementia, this rhetorical statement is being used to communicate my
profound belief that if you are chronically sick, you are doing
something fundamentally wrong.
It is truly amazing about the number of self-deluded people who
actually think that they can be both healthy and sick all the time.
