I received an email objecting to something I wrote about Contact
Reflex Analysis. Here is my reply:
Dear Dr Walaszczyk,
Quoted message said:After reading your comments on CRA I must say you are the
"know it all" type who knows nothing. Without CRA most of
my patients would not have recovered from their illnesses
which they came to me with as a last resort. When I read
comments by ignorant wannabees like your self who has
contributed NOTHING to humanity and then go out of your
way to slander the genius of Dr. Versendaal is certainly
the sign of a psychopath parasite trying to "be someone"
of authority by making statements which they have no clue
what they are talking about. I notice you don't identify
yourself anywhere after writing this garbage. Dr. Thomas
Walaszczyk, Yonkers, NY
I assume you are referring to the article at
ratbags.comcra.htmOpen ↗ where I said
"Sometimes a form of quackery is promoted with such a
breathtaking arrogance, duplicity, and disregard both for
the truth and for the lives and welfare of potential victims
that it almost defies belief". Thank you for providing
another data point.
I have in front of me a book called "Contact Reflex Analysis
and Designed Clinical Nutrition", subtitled "A Physician's
Desk Reference for Alternative Health Care", written by Dr
D. A. Versendaal and Dawn Versendaal-Hoezee. I actually do
have a clue about CRA because I have read the training
manual. It is difficult to imagine how anyone could have
written this while maintaining a straight face, unless they
were either depraved or seriously deluded. If I didn't know
better, I would assume that this document was intended as a
parody of the weird and unscientific thinking which abounds
in "alternative" medicine.
I notice that one of the people to whom the book is
dedicated is B.J Palmer. It is informative that the
dedication is not to the inventor or discoverer of
chiropractic, D. D. Palmer, but to the person who worked out
how to market it to the unsuspecting masses. Another
surprising omission from the dedication list was Phineas
Barnum, but perhaps that would have been too blatant.
The reason that I didn't identify myself after writing the
article was that I had identified myself before that. I have
never made a secret of who I am, and my name can be found on
the site with very little effort. You are not the first
person to accuse me of not researching something while
simultaneously showing that they lacked either the skills or
motivation to do even the most basic research themselves. I
assume you will not be the last.
