Questions for the Experts

Okay, Art, I'll slow it down a little for you....

You said that changing your avatar was as easy as hiding your IP address, if you had the right equipment. You changed your avatar to that of a former, well-known dowsing critic, then changed it again to the owl you have now. I asked if the change of avatars was some sort of public act to alert people that someone on the forum is doing this (hiding their IP address.)

Now, even you must know that "non-treasure hunters" and "experts at how not to seek treasure" seem to define two entirely different groups of people. Or maybe you don't...

As to my remark about your meds, although made in jest, should be looked at carefully before terming it a "spin." You apparently mistook this to mean there is some sort of conspiracy directed at you when, in fact, I was joking. But serious, look at the meds issue.

Thanks SS...It does look a little like one I saw before. I wouldn't want to make any waves here...The Doctor that cured my Dad of Polio is in jail for a fake Cancer Cure..Art

As he should be.

[glow=red,3,400]THERE IS NO CURE FOR POLIO--IT IS WITH YOU FOR LIFE!!!


Don't even try to tell me I don't know what I'm talking about here. My wife has polio. We have searched. There is no known cure. There isn't even a good treatment for post-polio syndrome(s).

Sorry about your wife. I was seven years old at the time. The only thing I knew was that my dad was in bed for a long time with Polio. Many Doctors came and went. Three weeks after this one Doctor started his treatments my Dad when back to work. He lived for 30 more years. To me this Doctor cured him. I don't know how or care as it happened...Art

Sorry to inform you of this, but he wasn't "cured." Cured would mean that he no longer had polio. Just because he lived another 30 years doesn't mean he was cured. My wife has been living for 48.5 years with it. She contracted it as an infant, but survived. Survival isn't the same as being cured. Once you have it, you have it forever. The virus lives as long as the host. "Post-polio syndrome" is how it re-mainfests itself later in life. And we are dealing with that now.

Those of us that lived in the 40's and 50's and remember the disease have a different take on the disease. I lost many friends and relatives but many survived. What you are saying is the correct way that things work. To me these people were curied and that is the way I look at it....Art

 

[Captain Trips]

"Lived" and "cured" do have two different meanings. Although your usage of the word "cure" is how you feel it to be, this is not how it is properly used in the medical business.

Definitions are important, and if we are to be able to communicate clearly we have to use words by an agreed set of definitions. Otherwise, what I call "metal detecting" someone else might call "magic." Or "dowsing with an electrical device." (Note: NOT LRL's!) So, let's be careful with our words, okay? Especially emotionally charged ones, which to me include "cured of polio."

I agree with you.
