   Medical bureaucracy cash cow to rake in money from....

   Hypocondriacs that have to go to a doctor 3 times a week and MUST have   
   something wrong with them, no matter what.

   With placebo tablets in important looking pharma bottles that cost $5.69   
   per tablet prescribed QID (4 times a day) to keep pharmacists in new   
   cars.

   The STRESS of "having something" and telling every person you meet all   
   about it, every time you meet them, as they are telling you, so proudly,   
   of their last "operation" or doctor's visit, USUALLY KILLS THEM, not the   
   non-existant medical condition the doctor constantly tells them they   
   have to keep the insurance money rolling in to make the payments on his   
   beach house, golf club, new Mercedes sedan, 40 ft sailing yacht and his   
   trophy wife's 8 credit cards.

   > 5) What risks are inherent in treating   
   >     the condition?   
      
   If untreated, it remains the same, except for the lack of doctor cash   
   flow and piles of insurance forms decimating the forests.  If treated,   
   the doctor/snakeoil salesman gets a new beach house, 2 new cars, puts   
   his kids through medical school so THEY can fleece the new wave of   
   hypocondriacs the current crop is breeding to perpetuate the fraud.

   $25 deductable full coverage medical insurance.   
      
   >   
   > 7) Is type 1 diabetes curable?   
      
   Medicine never cures anyone since Dr Sauk fucked up a perfectly good,   
   ongoing, cash cow with his stupid Polio vaccine which ruined a whole   
   industry.  (Notice how in 27 years there has been no HIV vaccine to   
   obliterate HIV noone has ever isolated or has a picture of.)   
      
   How much money has the Jerry Lewis Telethon collected for Jerry and the   
   medical fraud establishment that has never cured a single child of   
   Muscular Dystrophy?  Billions?  Trillions?  I'm 64 and saw my first one   
   as a little kid with a black and white TV in the 1950's!   
      
   How many people have been cured by the March of Dimes, Lung Association,   
   Heart Association or (name the medical charity of your choice)?  NONE!   
   We cannot AFFORD to cure disease!  What are you, CRAZY!  Millions of   
   medical people are living off it!

   My hypocondriac family is long dead, killed by the chemical soup they   
   ate instead of real FOOD.  I'm 64, haven't seen a doctor in over 30-some   
   years and have amazing sex with as many females as I can talk into it.   
   I own a motorcycle, go sailing, am a ham radio operator since 1957 and   
   have lived in those horrible radio fields the cellular phone users worry   
   about ever since and can still beat your ass if you piss me off.   
      
   I cannot be diagnosed with anything because I never allow any medical   
   bureaucrats to get that close to me.  To date, I estimate I have saved   
   well over $250,000 in medical insurance premiums (about $5000/year x 50   
   years) and have enjoyed that quarter million dollars every year since!   
      
   I do not smoke, am overweight by 120 pounds, have a 120/78 BP at 68 bpm,   
   drink very lightly (one-two beers or one shot of booze per day), and   
   love young girls as soon as they pass the stupid age-of-consent laws the   
   theists force upon us in direct confrontation with NATURE.   
      
   My biggest vice is I'm a stock market daytrader, one of those bastards   
   that buys low and sells high, robbing some idiot of his paycheck.  It's   
   the only gambling I do and the only thing in my life that excites me   
   that's non-sexual in nature....or out!   
      
   I wear glasses to read....glasses from WalMart, 2.75 diopter...$10   
      
   Stop by, we'll do lunch and discuss your medical condition ad nauseum   
   like the rest of them.....yecch.

   Religion is to reality what homeopathy is to medical science.
