Teh twoof about Stem Cells!!!
Bush isn't avoiding funding them for any religious reasons, oh no! He's refusing to fund them because we all know that since they will cure everything and anything Big Pharma will go out of business!! So they are paying Bush off to not fund research!!
GAAAAHHH! Of course this is from the same fool who thinks cancer is caused by candida...

Stem cells are very promising, but they are still pretty limited. Its also funny that this moran thinks this considering there are WHOLE for profit companies who do nothing but stem cell research. AND that its the biopharmaceutical industry at this point that has the most money invested in this novel research. I'm just so tired of this belief that there's a magic pill out there somewhere thats gonna cure everything....
:banghead:

2. I am withholding judgement
I am withholding judgement, at least until I hear what former Playboy Playmates have to say on the subject...

5. I'm convinced
As long as she stares earnestly into the camera and whispers the twoof in a low, husky voice.

4. My mother is convinced I have that candida thing.
I looked it up and wrote back saying that I am pretty sure I don't have a yeast infection.

She said it is an infection of the blood caused by sugar that can only be eliminated by abstaining from sugar and wheat flour. I didn't bother to point out that eliminating sugar from blood is 1. impossible because the liver creates it from other stuff and 2. fatal.

6. The woo on the "yeast overgrowth" was funny
Don't eat bread because it contains yeast! I don't know about those people but I bake mine so they're dead since the internal temp is over 200 degrees. I was also stumped by the no sugar thing due to the existence of gluconeogenesis. But that would require some clue about biochemistry which is not compatible with woo.

An infection of the blood?! Yes, microbes in your blood are definitely bad but you'd probably be having some acute symptoms.

8. I actually do have health problems...
...but I doubt it is caused by blood sugar. Without some sugars in the blood, I would find myself in an irreversible lethargic condition known as death. Of course I can avoid that by drinking grape juice and by simply deciding not to die.
