oh cah cah to you. Yes I know people with MS are great at educating themselves and bla bla bla but I just thought I would pass this along to anyone interested. Thanks for the response. It was a real side slapper.
The only intention of my post was to make people laugh about it in order to prevent another verbal slugfest.
But joking aside: There is plain advertising for the CCSVI treatment on websites of clinics abroad, and I really dislike this - as much as I dislike any medical advertising. And there were some advertising attempts of one or two users here telling people to go to india. But within one or two days, the community here had made it very clear that we don't want this here and the advertising users remained silent. So there's really no reason to be concerned about someone selling something on TIMS.
The other thing is that your (scorpion) posts are all too often disrespectful and even insulting. Therefore it's no surprise if people assume it is just another insult, even if your intentions were good. Someone who has again and again shown a severe lack of verbal empathy is not in the best position to give advice or warnings.
Don't get me wrong. Critics and skeptics are welcome and I really like the in-depth debate of pros and cons - as long as every part is respectful, objective and stick to the facts. That doesn't mean that every pro-CCSVI here is like that. But violence induces counter-violence, even if it's just verbal. It's of no use to chime in to that. CCSVI isn't about black or white. Never will be. Nothing in the field of medicine. Because it's about humans, you know.
The real sad thing is that the scientists of CCSVI are often thrown together with those just making money out of it, contributing nothing to the research. But you, scorpion, should be able to distinguish as you're a skeptic, but nevertheless enough into it.
