- Ok, let me reword my posting. First, please excuse the careless nature
- of my past postings. I wasn't aware the I was about to be challenged
- by those whose league I clearly am not in.
-
- It is my belief that, based on casual conversations I've had with many
- non-MDs and one MD, that case studies exist regarding the successful
- treatment of AIDS with Homeopathy and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
- This statement clearly carries no weight whatsoever and was not meant
- as proof of anything. Rather, it was just casual dialogue.
-
- I am not motivated nor feel I have the time to pursue gathering information
- regarding alleged case studies. My prime motivation concerning all my postings
- up to this point was to share some new personal experience regarding homeopathy
- and to engage in dialogue regarding other alternative medicine practices.
-
- I wish to retract any statement which implies that I have proof or documentation
- of anything outside of my own experience.
-
- Since this alias is labeled misc.health.alternative, I would be curious
- to know now whether or not future posts are going to be subject to such
- aggressive scrutiny. I am not prepared to spend the time defending each and
- every post, however biased and unsupported by facts, by those who apparently
- aren't interested in alternative medicine in the first place.
