Re: Quackbusters

How about discussing "Alternative Therapies" while you are partially here?

When you have either physical or emotional shock,
the body reacts by swelling the blood lines, opening
angstroms (small holes) and allowing blood plasma
proteins to slip out and become lodged in between
the cells, causing pain and swelling. This is the
cellular cause of all disease in the body.

Yeah, sure...

Whoops, no cells in enamel.

Not always ... what about genetic defects?

If you are so far into shock that your blood vessels are leaking
out the plasma proteins, you are so near death that it's almost a
moot point.

And an angstrom is NOT a "small hole" it is a unit of measurement
for measuring extremley small things. If you get that basic a
detail wrong, it makes the rest of your theory very hard to
accept.

Four sentences. The first makes sense and is true for most of us. The second
is meaningless. The third sentence reveals a profound ignorance of the
anatomy and physiology of the human body, and is wrong in every statement
and implication. The fourth reverts to meaninglessness. In toto, this
paragraph is a jewel of pseudoscience drivel and I could not have written a
better parody myself. Thanks for a good laugh.

For most people, yes.

What energy are you referring to? What sort of energy is this, and how can
life stresses interfere with this energy?

An Angstrom is a measure of length. 1 A is one ten-billionth of a meter.
That infiltration of plasma occurs into sites of inflammation (e.g. as a
reaction to physical trauma) is a normal process. It in itself doesn't cause
the pain and it isn't that the proteins become lodged in between cells, it
is that the proteins and smaller molecules are needed there to do their
normal actions that occur in inflammation.

Cellular causes of illnesses are diverse, as diverse as diseases are. For
example, some diseases stem from accumulation of fats in liver cells, or
accumulation of long chains of sugars. Cellular pathology is an important
subject and is far more diverse than you make it out to be.
