deceptions and falsehoods. Well, folks, I'm here to
tell you that she is not nearly
the
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:Quoted message said:liar, cheat, deceiver that you think she is, and this
explanation
applies
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:Quoted message said:equally to many here - I use Jan as an example
because... because... well, she's just such a perfect
example.
To be a "lie", the liar must know at the moment of
utterance that the statement is false. However, history
has shown us that when a liar
repeats
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:a
Quoted message said:falsehood enough times, it becomes indistinguishable
from truth - to
that
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:Quoted message said:liar. Eventually it becomes more of an error than a
lie, and is
honestly
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:Quoted message said:offered to inform rather than to deceive or mislead.
Though factually
wrong,
Quoted message said:and with its origins in deception, it evolves into a
passionate
statement
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:of
Quoted message said:[truth as I know it!]. So what would you call that
statement? It's no
longer
Quoted message said:a lie... but an error, an honest mistake.
I don't wish to exalt the liars here by comparing them
to famous prevaricators of history, but history teaches
us that many of them
began
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:Quoted message said:with self-serving lies, then eventually perfected and
adopted their falsehoods as [truth as I know it!].
During that process, their
statements
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:Quoted message said:became sincere, their arguments took on the self-
righteous fervor of
the
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:Quoted message said:absolutely correct, their rebuttals were perfected....
and their constituencies voted for them. I suppose one
example will help make thi
s
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:Quoted message said:point. There was a moment somewhere between 1923 and
1945 when Corporal Adolf [censored] began believing his own
rhetoric, and from that time on he
was
Quoted message said:perhaps the most persuasive and convincing sociopath
alive.
So, based on the above, here's an interesting question:
what percentage
of
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:Quoted message said:intelligent and educated (naturopaths, homeopaths,
chiropractors, iridologists, yada yada) actually
*believes* the diagnostic and
therapeutic
Quoted message said:claptrap on which such quacks' incomes depend?
A most interesting question. I have often pondered it.
The problem is that it is not just quacks who can become
misled by by the crazy quilt
of
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:influences that can determine perceived outcomes within
day-to-day
medical
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:practice (spontaneous events, answers of politeness,
patient
subordination,
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:true placebo effects, reversion to the mean, observer
biases etc ).
These are powerful enough to impress sincere and eminent
doctors. Three examples of this: glomectomy for asthma,
gastric freezing for duodenal ulcer and internal mammary
artery ligation for angina. These and many other
experimental mainstream procdures were claimed to have
80-90 per
cent
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:success rates by enthusiatic pioneers, whereas subsequent
controlled
trials
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:showed that sham procedures performed just as well. It
took no less
than
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:eleven controlled trials using sham procedures to dispose
of all the
hype
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:surrounding glomectomy. Chelation is I am sure a similar
case, where
the
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:promoters are convinced they are seeing dramatic results,
largely because
of
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:the erratic behaviour and placebo responsiveness of the
things they are treating. The ability to overlook or find
excuses for failures, as in
the
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:recent Kadile chelation case, helps. .
So I am inclined to give most alt. practitioners the
benefit of the
doubt.
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:"Therapeutic illusions" are prevalent and powerful. I am
sure you are right that other factors can be involved
such as habituation. A
tentative
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:belief can become entrenched if you are motivated to
emphasise all supportive evidence and blind yourself
anything that opposes.
The real liars/frauds are probably more strongly
represented within MLM schemes and spammers. There are
some alt cancer therapists who I think
are
Quoted message said:Quoted message said:quite deluded rather than liars.

Peter Moran
==============================
Years earlier, a scientist just a few miles away from the
Gelsinger's home
in
Quoted message said:Tucson had raised serious questions about whether the
experiment was safe.
Documents
. Feb. 8, 2002: FDA letter, attempt to ban Dr. Wilson
from other experiments.
. March 3, 2000: FDA Warning Letter, original findings
about the gene therapy experiment.
(SEE ANY COVER-UPS THERE, PETER??)
The trouble is, Paul Gelsinger says, Dr. Wilson's team
had never told him that anyone had ever raised questions
about safety
(That's fine and dandy according to organized medicine
member, Peter
Moran.)
Quoted message said:
AND PETER BOWDITCH!!
ADVERSE REACTIONS WERE NOT REPORTED And that was just the
beginning. Federal investigators, pouring
through
Quoted message said:Penn's records, announced at the conference that they had
made a series of startling discoveries, raising questions
about whether the doctors had
covered
Quoted message said:up problems and broken basic test rules.
In fact, just a few months before Jesse had signed up for
the experiment, several monkeys given viruses similar to
Jesse's got sick. And two of them died.
(SEE ANY COVER-UP THERE PETER??))
The rules for the experiment said: Even if volunteers
didn't get visibly
ill,
Quoted message said:if tests showed that any of them had a significant
reaction called "grade 3," the experiment was supposed
to be "halted" immediately. Records show there were
"grade 3" reactions in more than one patient. The first
time, doctors stopped, called the government and got
permission to continue, saying an unusual condition with
the patient might
have
Quoted message said:been the cause. The second time, they stopped, called and
got permission again,
citing
Quoted message said:another unusual condition. But when it happened a third
time, they didn't stop, didn't call. Then, a fourth time.
They didn't stop or call then either
(FOUR TIMES PETER!!!!!)
For their own safety, volunteers weren't supposed
to have a blood ammonia level higher than 50. But
people were coming in with higher levels
and
Quoted message said:without proper approval. The limit was raised to 70. When
Jesse signed up over the summer, he was within the limits,
but records show that when Penn doctors tested him, just
days before the experiment, his reading was 114 - more
than double the original safety
limit.
Quoted message said:
(That's way cool huh Peter???)
HIGH FINANCIAL STAKES With so many red flags from the
monkey deaths to the reactions in
other
Quoted message said:volunteers, even to Jesse's own ammonia levels, Why had
Dr. Wilson's team allowed the experiment to continue?
(Wonder if Peter can answer this question?)
At the University of Pennsylvania, the conflict
committee approved
Dr.
Quoted message said:Wilson's arrangement with Genovo. In fact, the university
itself owned a piece of his company and
stood to
Quoted message said:profit, too.
(Hmmmmmmmmm).
In a statement, the university acknowledged that
some information "should have been shared with the
FDA sooner."
(Just a minor little slip,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,)
There was no information given to Jesse or his family
about the monkey
deaths.
Quoted message said:There was no information given to Jesse or his family
about toxic results
in
Quoted message said:prior patients. There was no information that would allow
Jesse and his
family
Quoted message said:to make any kind of informed decision."
(Peter STILL can't see any coverup!!!! NO dishonesty!)
CONFIDENTIAL REPORTS
He told congress that other private companies in
the race for cures
had
Quoted message said:also been doing gene therapy experiments and had also
gotten adverse
reactions.
Quoted message said:But instead of sharing the information, government rules
allowed them to
stamp
Quoted message said:those reactions "confidential," classifying them as trade
secrets to protect their research investments. So, while
the government knew about them, other researchers like
Ds.
Quoted message said:Wilson and volunteers like Jesse Gelsinger were never
allowed to see them.
(TRust the government!!!)
"I was outraged," says Paul. "I had a right to know. Jesse
had a right to know.
(Oh my,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,emotions).
***In February, the Food and Drug Administration said that
because Dr.
Wilson
Quoted message said:filed "false and misleading" reports and "repeatedly and
deliberately violated regulations***
REPEAT FOR THE HARD HEADED!!!
Dr. Wilson filed "false and misleading" reports and
"repeatedly and deliberately violated regulations
(No coverups,,,,,,,,,,no fraud,,,,,,,,,,no deliberate
violations,,,,,,,,,,,,)

HOW DOES THAT GRAB YOU PETER BOWITCH?????

Gelsinger's death.

in Congress, lawmakers are still debating legislation to
