    They are diagnosed by Medical Doctors using a variety of lab
    & radilogically based testing. Why not try using WebMD or
    ask your doctor, you Steaming Bag of Spamming Feces?

    So... ilsa is still turned on by solid waste. Kinky little
    thing mentions it at every opportunity. Tell us ilsa, do you
    prefer to smear it on yourself, or do you prefer that some
    one else do it for you?

    So, what you are saying is, you haven't a clue how to
    diagnose a disease, just how to be obnoxious.

  5. Interesting article on emphysema and mice, of course this
    hardly proves anything in humans.

    Well, we are moving forward, but the question I asked was
    how do you diagnose a patient with emphysema, asthma and/or
    congestive heart failure.

    Apologies if you do have a serious health problem, but if
    you are to be true in your allegiance to alternative
    medicine you must learn to use the correct diagnostic
    vocabularies. Forget these EOM precepts, which try to
    separate illnesses into different categories so that the
    right drug or surgical operation or physical modality (all
    EOM constructs) can be used. They are a vital part of the
    <you-know-what> that keeps us all under the thrall of the
    drug companies.

    Illness can be completely described in terms of "toxins",
    "parasites", the "psora" of homeopathy (sadly and so quietly
    ignored these days), TCM phrases such as "too much heat in
    the triple burner", aspartame or amalgam illnesses, an
    immune system that won't make it to sunrise (although that's
    an idea borrowed from EOM and which should be used sparingly
    and in as mystical a way as possible), and the all-important
    "energy imbalance". I think that about covers it.

    Do not insult your loyal "alternative" comrades with
    anything that suggests scientific medicine may actually know
    something about disease. Just get onto any alt list, tell
    them your symptoms and they nurture you back into health in
    the most efficient way possible.

    Yes, I did get out of bed on the wrong side this morning. If
    your question is serious these conditions can be easily
    separated by a combination of patient history, physical
    examination and investigations that might include chest xray
    and pulmonary function stduies. No alternative practitioner
    would have the appropriate training and experience.

    your disease is going away, so why bother? You and your doc
    have the truth, so what matters - you are not going to

    another person or even a doctor on here, they would become
    the 'quack' and the process would continue. Just my

    Now, now, Ilsa -- you're just repeating the ol' EOM line.
    It's obvious to any observer that Spammin' Dave doesn't
    really have asthma or emphysema. Indeed, the very *idea* of
    those diseases is just part of the EOM conspiracy.

    Spammin' Dave can easily cure his problem by taking up
    smoking. I'd suggest Old Gold unfiltered cigarettes for
    maximum effect.

    That doesn't even come close to covering it! What about
    colon sludge, subluxations, chronic Lyme disease (only
    detectable with certain unreliable tests), and sub-clinical
    occult carbon monoxide poisoning (not detectable nor
    disprovable with any tests, during life)? That's not even
    counting the really obscure stuff, like body thetans.

    Another one who does not understand how to diagnose a
    disease. Isn't

    enlightening?

    Explain the purpose of your initial question...

    Look up spirometry, chest x-ray, history, EKG, etc....

    I asked the question because some ignoramous' who lurk
    here and that you seem to think are bright enough to post,
    have suggested that I still have emphysema. My point was
    to show that these same individuals don't even know how to
    diagnose the disease nevermind have the credibility to
    judge its state. Its a demonstration of their lack of
    credibility.

    You just demonstrated you inability to form a coherent
    thought.

    Why not go to a pulomonologist, get good spirometry
    performed, and post your pre- and post- spirograms for all
    to see? You can post it on your website, and, if they show
    that you no longer have COPD, etc. then you have proven
    your claim.

    Until then, since your record is that you are in the
    negative credibility range, you have no proof.
