Big pharma shill doctor insists sinus infections are caused by "germs."

[Deep13]

After enduring a simus infection for a couple weeks, I went to the doctor. He rejected out of hand all the usual explanations: food toxins, chakra misalignment, bad air, stress and insisted it was caused by "germs" whatever that means. Instead of suggesting nutritional supplements or meditation, he immediately prescribed drugs (and rest and fluids). Then he said--get this-- to throw out my toothbrush and to clean and dry the CPAP machine that blows air in my nose to prevent sleep apnea. I guess these germs or whatever they are "live" in damp places and somehow are magically transmitted by contact. Where does he get this crap?

1. From his bible of fundamentalist scientism no doubt!

You really wanted to visit the doctor so you got yourself sick obviously. And he's just coddling your superstition...

[Deep13]

2. Damn! Not again!

:hi:

3. OMG! WTF? LOL what a HUCKSTER!

Dump that ZERO and get with a HERO as in HOLISTIC MEDICNE PRACTIONER. serius.

GERMS have been so BLAMED for socity's ills since FOREVER and I just think it's LAZYNESS to fall back on that old CANARD again and again.

I wonder....he's so quick to label GEMRS but did he do a BIO-FEED BACK? Did he use a DOWEL? Did he do ANY OF THE THINGS that RESPECTED PRACTONERS of NATURAL MEDCNE use? If not then HOW DOES HE KNOW it's GERMS?

sounds like lazy DOCTRING TO ME.

Oh let me guess...he had you BUY MEDCINE right? Heh. ULTORIOR MOTIFS ALL ALONG i bet too just get you to BUY MEDCNE. Always quick with the cure these sharlatans are.

4. Well, I hope you recover quickly from your imaginary sinus infection..

which is really just a late side-effect of some evil vaccine that you had when you were a baby.

5. You DID try a Q-Link first though, right?

It is my new favorite snakeoilwoowoopseudoscientific cureall

[Deep13]

16. I used some Q-tips.

Is that the same thing?

[uppityperson]

24. are they said to strengthen sistance to stress? Do they have a crystal oscillator at the core?

close, very close

[lizerdbits]

6. I think you misunderstood

"Germs" is the code word for a negative attitude. You're giving yourself a positive attitude by 'cleansing' things. Your negative attitude has contaminated your toothbrush and CPAP. The drugs are probably herbals in disguise.

7. He's a toothbrush shill

Incidentally, why is it* that everytime I go to buy a new toothbrush, there are new developments? Bristle shape, bristle colour, handle shape, flexibility etc etc. It's the 21st century: is there really anything still to learn about brushing teeth?

* Rhetorical question

8. Speaking of teeth brushing

Enjoy this little gem my wife found at mothering.com:

"Anyone NOT brush their teeth or their childrens?
I hear all about brushing teeth and stories non stop, but I was wondering if there is anyone out there that doesn't brush their teeth regularly. After changing to a traditional diet, I have much stronger teeth and no cavities and I dont brush my teeth regularly. I sometimes eat an apple to freshen my breath or to clean them before bed, and I give them to my daughter too. My daughter is 2 and has cavity free teeth and we hardly brush her teeth, just if she does get a hold of junk food during the day. She does have a yellow build up around her teeth, but I have scraped it away to see what is underneath, and it is strong and white. So I leave it.
So anyone NOT brush their teeth? "

9. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh. "My daughter is 2 and has cavity free teeth" yellow build up, scrape it away?

white underneath so you let it be? Oh. Kay.

I found this bit further down there, aha by the same person, can you say inflamed gums?
"I have quit flossing unless I eat popcorn and it gets wedged around my teeth, and I have noticed the gums grow longer between my teeth."

And:
"One reason that I am questioning flossing is because I noticed the gums getting pushed higher even how careful I floss, and then I in turn have to floss more and somehow became dependent on it."

And this tidbit the same poster posted, a story from someone selling "dental soap":
"The girls got their teeth cleaned and the dentist
viewed the x-rays and asked me to come and
take a look. My 11 year old had her mouth
open and the dentist had this sharp probe
and he was scraping and poking and when
he thought there was something he would
stick the probe in.

I could hear the sound of the sharp tool scraping
against her teeth and all I could think about was
what Dr. Judd said which was, "Don't let a dentist
poke your teeth with sharp probes. It will make
holes in your teeth making cavities. Don't let a
dentist poke with sharp probes under the gumline.
It will make holes that will catch food and cause
gum infection.""

Then they get into colon cleansing, somehow tying this in with brushing teeth. Thank your wife for pointing this thread out.

19. She means the daughter has 2 cavity-free teeth. nt

15. How is that not child abuse?

Stupidity should not be a defense.

10. Looks like it's time for someone to get a new "doctor".

[bluedawg12]

12. We all know that the "germ theory" is a gateway

to the "virus theory." It's a slippery slope.

[Deep13]

14. Holy shit! Another "doctor" a few weeks ago blamed viruses...

...for my inability to breathe through my nose or get out of bed! He said a virus "flew" in or something.

[realisticphish]

17. heres a virus:

I DON'T SEE NO WINGS

[Deep13]

18. He said to be careful that this flew virus didn't fly to someone else!

What a nutcase, huh?
