    I'll say it. Some drugs weaken the immune system. Good thing, too. They
    make it possible for organ transplants to save millions of lives.

    --Rich

    I'd say that's is a bit twisted.

    But another example of the debunkers logic.

    Whatcha wanna bet if Rich's immune system was wrecked he wouldn't think it was
    a good thing.

    This kind of thinking shows he has not one clue as to the real feeling of a
    weakened immune system.

    But let's make something good of the side effects of drug, cause *organized
    medicine* pushes them.

    And then David overlooks this logic from Rich and takes David to task.

    More example ot ye good ole boy and girl club.

    You do realize, don't you, that if someone receives an organ transplant and
    doesn't take drugs whose *therapeutic* effects (not side effects) are to
    suppress the immune system, that person's immune system will *destroy* the
    transplanted organ? It's called "rejection." And do you realize that
    there are a number of diseases that are caused by the immune system going
    on a rampage, and whose treatment requires suppressing the immune system?

    By the way, how does a weakened immune system *feel like*? What subjective
    states are associated with a strong versus weak immune system? I can't
    speak for Rich, but if I needed a heart transplant, I'd rather have those
    subjective feelings than have my heart stop working.

    Yes Eric, I have been in this world for 64 years.

    I just objected to Rich's saying the wrecking of the immune system is a good
    thing, so the person can die and give a precious gift to another. I am all for
    donating organs and have had it on my driver's license for years.

    Of course.

    Why? If one's immune system is NOT weakened the body will actively work
    harder to reject the life saving organ that was transplanted.

    Wrong. An example of your lack of critical reading skills.

    If Rich, or anyone, needed an organ transplant, they would welcome it.

    How does it "feel?" How does kidney failure feel? How does liver failure

    How sneaky of her.

    into why more and more people are resisting drugs in favour of other
    ways, read the side effects. If you have any understanding of science
    as you like to claim, explain why anyone with any option would use
    most drugs based on those negative side effects? Do you believe that
    natural supplements have negative side effects?

    So, it was Dave the MLMer who diverted, but, she blames David Wright.

    How low can she go?

    (Rehtorical question!)

    Sorry, Jan, I forgot that you are completely ignorant of medical matters and
    I failed to explain my comment that drugs weakening the immune system is a
    good thing. The drugs did not kill the organ donors. Immunosuppressant drugs
    are given to organ RECIPIENTS to prevent rejection. Anyone who has had a
    kidney or heart transplant takes drugs to weaken his immune system so that
    it will not kill that donated kidney or heart. Shame on you for even
    imagining I favored killing people with drug "side effects" to obtain
    donated organs. Sheesh.
