---------------------------------

Chung, setting a new speed record for rewriting the real FAQ, has entered the twilight zone of self-
promotion and bragging. The whole effect is eerily bizarre to see him characterizing his lying and
fraudulence as "truthful" and "sincere."

He says about himself that he, "he turns the other cheek in a Christian manner." Tell that to the
people that he's viciously smeared, slurred, calumniated and lied about. For more hilarity, Chung
says that "he witnesses steadfastly without hatred." Right.

I especially like being bizarrely characterized as a "food worshipper" by the linguistically
maladroit Chung. Where would he be without names to call people? Poor self-pigeonholed Chung.

Poor baffled Chung thinks that amused contempt = hatred. Poor befuddled Chung thinks that puncturing
the balloon of his inflated ego=hatred.

that some folks have for Dr. Chung. This FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) does provide some
truthful answers

Poor duplicitous Chung tries to present these self-serving lies as the truth. It's bad enough that
they're lies. Based on so many of his posts, it would appear that he actually believes them. Poor
deluded Chung. Seriously. Deluded Chung.

Quoted message said:

(there is a fake FAQ put out by detractors that is useful only for comparison purposes).

<LOL> The "original" FAQ details many of Chung's unfortunate characteristics and actions. Poor
deluded Chung thinks that by his pattern of replying to other people's posts and deleting the
offending portions that he'll be more believable. He has also lately been replying to posts and
changing the condemnatory words that were originally included to be more favorable to him. Just like
he does with this FAQ - FAKE.

The other, Dr. Andrew B. Chung FAQ - REAL is the standard against which this fake one should be
judged. It's much the same way that a real Michaelangelo is useful for comparison with fakes, like
this FAQ written with all expected inflation and falsity by Chung, himself, about chung, himself. To
excuse the actions and writings of Chung, himself.

If "verified" means debunked, and it might well be that in the perverted language of "Chungism,"
then this is accurate.

Google is good. Can't "doctor" <slaps knee> the truth like Chung does on his web site. It's utterly
hilarious that Chung cites *his* web site as a place to "verify" the truth of his boasting.

Does he say which hospitals he has privileges at? Does he explain why he was dismissed from the
medical care facility in Florida? Didn't think so.

Introduction
------------
New people arriving in sci.med.cardiology (s.m.c.) are often puzzled and troubled by the vitriol
directed at Dr. Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhD (Dr. Chung) and want to better understand the reasons for
the hatred that some folks have for Dr. Chung. This FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) does provide
some truthful answers (there is a fake FAQ put out by detractors that is useful only for
comparison purposes). All answers given herein can be independently verified either via Google or
by visiting heartmdphd.comheartmdphd.comOpen ↗.

The FAQ is arranged in typical FAQ form, i.e. a series of questions followed by simple answers.
For those who don't wish to read the whole FAQ, the following summary is provided.

Summary
-------
Dr. Chung is a well-respected licensed cardiologist, who is board-certified in internal medicine
and cardiology (cardiovascular medicine). In this capacity, he responds truthfully to medical
questions on s.m.c. He does this out of sincere altruism when he has spare time outside his
private cardiology practice, where he sees patients as a cardiologist. If that was all he
were, there would probably be no controversy.

The controversy arises from Dr. Chung being a genuine Christian, in particular:

o He continues to publically profess that Christ is his Lord and Savior.

o He freely helps people to lose weight in an altruistic Christian fashion
(heartmdphd.comwtloss.aspOpen ↗).

o When attacked on the above issues, he turns the other cheek in a Christian manner.

o When challenged about his faith in Christ, he witnesses steadfastly without hatred.

o When insulted for his faith in Christ, he openly calls it a blessing.

o He remains truthful, as a servant of Christ, despite being libeled and defamed
(heartmdphd.comlibel.aspOpen ↗)..

o Other Christians have affirmed Dr. Chung's strong faith in Christ.

The above lists only the highlights of Dr. Chung's Christian behavior on
s.m.c.. If anything, it understates it. Everything can be verified in the Google archives. He
witnesses to all at heartmdphd.comhealer.aspOpen ↗.

People arrive in this group looking for help. Dr. Chung has graciously provided this over several
years. Dr. Chung consistently demonstrates the breadth of his knowledge and experience. This is
archived many times over in Google.

You poor guy.

You remain in my prayers, neighbor.

FYI Note:

Bob's pathological obsessions are related to the 2 pound diet approach (2PD) which is described
completely at:

heartmdphd.comwtloss.aspOpen ↗

Though Dr. Chung invented this approach, he did not initiate the Usenet discussion(s). His
participation in this discussion(s) has been voluntary and has been conducted in the spirit of
community service. His motivation has been entirely altruistic and has arisen from his religious
beliefs as a Christian. Jesus freely gave of Himself to better the health of folks He touched:

heartmdphd.comhealer.aspOpen ↗

From the outset, it has been clear that there are those who are vehemently opposed to the 2 pound
diet approach. They have debated
Dr. Chung on every perceived weakness of the 2 pound diet approach and have lost the argument
soundly at every point:

heartmdphd.comwtlossfaqs.aspOpen ↗

These debates are archived on Google in their entirety within this discussion thread(s).

However, instead of conceding gracefully that they've lost the argument(s), certain parties have
redirected their hatred of the 2 pound diet approach toward its author. The rationale appears to be
"if you can not discredit the message then try to discredit the messenger."

Initially, these folks accused the messenger of "trolling." A "troll" is someone who posts under the
cloak of anonymity messages with no redeeming discussion value and with the sole purpose of starting
"flame" wars.

These hateful folks lost credibility with this accusation when the following observations were made:

(1) Dr. Chung has not been posting anonymously.
(2) The 2PD has been on-topic for the Usenet discussion groups hosting the discussion(s).
(a) Those who are failing low-carbing can dovetail LC with the 2PD to achieve near-
ideal weight.
(b) Obese diabetics improve their blood glucose control when their weight becomes near-ideal.
(c) For (b) see: makeashorterlink.commakeashorterlink.comOpen ↗
(3) Dr. Chung did not start the discussion(s).
(4) The 2 pound diet approach is 100% free (no profit motive).
(5) Dr. Chung's credentials are real and easily verified on-line (including jpegs of the actual
diplomas).

Full of hatred, frustration, and desperation, certain individuals have tried to attack Dr. Chung's
credentials knowing full well that they were attempting to libel him. One notable example is Mr. Bob
"raging and self-confident" Pastorio:

heartmdphd.comlibel.aspOpen ↗

When the full light was cast on Mr. Pastorio's libelous statements, the hateful folks hiding in the
darkness of anonymity only hissed louder in support of their fallen hero.

Fortunately, those who have been following this discussion(s) either actively or as lurkers can
easily dismiss the hisses, for what they are, using the on-line third-party resources at:

heartmdphd.comprofile.aspOpen ↗

where Dr. Chung's credentials can be verified many times over and libelous claims that credentials
were bought are easily and summarily debunked.

Moreover, readers need only make the following observations concerning the anon posters who continue
to hiss (ie JC Der Koenig and Mack):

(6) They are anonymous and thus they expect to have no credibility (or accountability).
(7) They are by their Usenet history courtesy of Google, unsavory characters.
(8) They have not added anything to the discussion(s) except to deliver one-sided insults.
(9) They complain about alleged cross-posts from Dr. Chung by cross-posting.
(10) They do not complain about cross-posts from folks who attack the 2PD or its author.

and conclude that these anon posters deserve only their kill file.

It is my hope that the above brings new readers of this thread up to speed.

It will remain my pleasure to continue the discussion(s) about the 2PD above the din of hissing from
the peanut gallery.

Servant to the humblest person in the universe,

Andrew

<LOL> Nice try from Chung. He's only about as transparent as air. And as substantial.

Change as much as he wants, the original words are out there. Chung thinks that adding <hiss> when
he deletes the words of others makes believers of otherwise bright people.

Poor deluded Chung.
