Re: Playing with mercury
We did likely have reactions but didn't know it was the mercury that gave us the headache, flu, hay fever or whatever.
Oh, is that how it works with you people? One vaccine and anytime in the next year you get the sniffles or athlete's foot, and it's gotta be the mercury!

Re: There is no link between autism and vaccines
How many Americans do you suppose have NOT been vaccinated for smallpox?
Oh, I imagine its an increasing number, thanks to the irresponsible anti-vaccination hysteria you and Linda are working so hard to promote.

Re: Academic princess
Still, I think a grad student in molecular biology ought to know a nucleic acid when she sees one.
How are those "digital codes swimming in and through your bloodstream" working out?
Or did you forget all the hilarious science gaffes you've blundered yourself right into? I don't think you have a leg to stand on, here; you're just seizing some perceived failure on Molbiogirl's part to ignore the rest of her arguments, hoping that we won't notice.
Well, we did.

Re: Playing with mercury
Ah. If it seems to be working but it isn't a drug, then it must be a placebo effect. Why couldn't I see that.
I don't know, since we've spent fully three different threads explaining it to you.
Crystal magic doesn't work. It's nonsense; there's no mechanism there. It has just as much effect on any disease as waving a chicken's foot over your head. It's woo.
When it seems to work, therefore, there are two possibilities (and this should sound familiar) - either everything we know about the physical properties of matter and the living properties of organisms is wrong, or an already-known effect is at work - the placebo effect, where people who think they're being treated for a disease think they're getting better, too.
The reason we know that's what's at work here is because in double-blind trials, where placebo effect is equalized by making everybody think they're getting treatment, the power of crystals to heal disappears completely. Same with homeopathy, same with macrobiotic cures, same with chicken-foot-waving, same with everything - but not, most definitely not, with modern scientific medicine.
What on Earth don't you get about that, yet?

Re: Nator's witches brew
I wouldn't advocate using it exclusively, but why not as an adjunct to other therapies?
Because it's a fucking useless waste of time and money?
I find that's enough of a reason not to do something.
