    You have to be the stupidest md ever to post ont he usenet.

    You insist on crossposting like an ignorant newbie, knowing it is against
    the usenet rules.

    Then you post in HTML like an ignorant newbie, knowing full well it is
    against the usenet rules for a non-binary group.

    Don't you think that the "humbest person in the universe" is sad and angry
    that you use His name to brak rules and draw attentionto yourself?

    Youd rive the nails deeper into his hands every time you do this.

    Prove that you are what you say you are, and stop these extremely annoying,
    rule-breaking crossposts and HTML posts.

    We know that you will prove yourself to be a phony by refusing to stop the
    rulebreaking.

    It says that I have had a major brain stem stroke and yet use the keyboard

    I put forth superhuman effort in physical and occupational therapy inorder

    Of course, you alrady knew all this, because you've visited my website and

    I do find it somehow fitting with your syle, however, that you would mock

    THE SKINNY ON ATKINS

    Google "Jai Maharaj"+kook both on the web and in groups. The
    illustrious "Dr." Jai (aka Jay Stevens) has quite a past...and present!
    He is the king of crossposting.

    Of course, that doesn't excuse anyone from posting a 3383 line message,
    half of which was html!!! Or, not trimming the Newsgroups header. The
    bigger issue for me is why anyone would forward anything with Jai's
    name on it. That's an instant red flag.

    I have lost 55 pounds on Atkins, on Atkins I've lowered my BP to 120/70
    while getting off of two BP meds; my HbA1c has gone from 9.l0 to 6.0 on
    Atkins; my fasting blood glucose has gone from 137 to 91 on Atkins (no meds
    for T2 diabetes), my cholesterol ahs gone from 232 to 188 on Atkins while
    HDL has risen, and my triglycerides have gone from 632 to 217 on Atkins.
    My M.D. says that I am her "best patient" and uses me as an example of what
    motivation and dedication to self-improvement can do for one's general
    health condition and reducing risk of CV disease.

    Hmmm, I wonder which one of these changes is the predecesor to heart attack
    and death that you babble about in ignorance?

    Aren't you even a little bit embarrassed by your lack of knowledge?

    Of course I know why I had my stroke, it was just not germane to the Atkins
    bashing.

    I had rheumatic fever when I was a child and a resultant murmur from the
    strep infection in my heart. A few weeks after my stroke in 1998 (at 46
    years old), an inter-esophogeal echocardiogram revealed that a clot had
    formed from blood pooling at the sticking heart valve. Apparently a piece
    of the clot had broken loose and lodged in my brain stem. (This was not
    discovered sooner because the blood clot in my brain stem was at first
    mistakenly diagnosed from an MRI as a tumor. When I refused surgery, I was
    put on chemotherapy for several weeks as a team of doctors did more
    extensive tests). I'm lucky to be alive, let alone having returned to being
    fully productive. The neurologist said my recovery was one in ten thousand
    for the type of stroke I had, which had affected my "life support" systems
    (heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, digestion and body temperature). I
    was also paralyzed on the right side of my body and had extreme short-term
    memory loss.

    I was hospitalized for more than three months (on IV heparin) followed by
    intensive in-patient physical therapy, then out-patient therapy until my
    insurance ran out. I was on Coumadin for two years. I went from bedridden
    to a wheelchair to using a four-point cane to a single-point cane, to
    walking today with use of only an "AFO" (ankle-foot brace). My short term
    memory gradually returned over the following year. What the doctors had
    described as my "life-support systems" eventually returned to normal,
    although my body temperature is still always around 96.4 degrees now. My
    blood pressure normalized after I lost 60 pounds. Today I am back and fully
    functional at my very hectic job as a hotel General Manager. I'm a living
    miracle and I thank God every day for the extra time here on earth that He
    has given me.

    You can imagine how silly evolie's inane remark seemed to me. Like a gnat
    buzzing around a cow's tail, to be brushed aside undeserving any furthur
    consideration. It is sad when one makes assumptions out of ignorance.

    True binaries look nothing like readable text in their native form.

    And HTML looks nothing like its rendered form... exactly like encoded
    binaries. It's a language intended for machines to interpret, not humans.
    In the context of usenet, HTML is not "plain text." Period. It is
    unwelcome outside of binary newsgroups and always has been.

    You can blather on all you want about binaries, but the fact remains that
    your post was a blatant violation of accepted standards of netiquette. It
    caused dozens of posts made by others to be deleted prematurely from
    hundreds of news servers around the world. You quite literally silenced
    others through your own rudeness.

    It seems you're not even capable of holding a rational conversation anymore.
    Your posts have become nothing but content-free regurgitations of a bunch of
    pseudo-Christian platitudes. Still know anything about medicine or
    cardiology, Andrew? You sure? I've seen no evidence of it in months, maybe
    a couple of years.
