I posted my rather long and vented opinion on the other identical thread and also posted it here so don't read it twice it's the same one!!!

May I thank DebbieHub for posting her opposition to this. It is good that we can debate diffferent articles and stories and have open forums for different opinions. I say GREAT for those it works for, but whose to say it will work for everyone! Deb your right they almost do come across with a "Blanket Statement" offering a cure!.

I am thrilled for this young lady and I am even more happy that Paula did this segment so that hopefully millions of viewers might now have three little letters tucked in the backs of their minds. RSD RSD RSD RSD!!!!!!

Now, the unfortunate part. The FDA!! Of course haven't YET! and may never approve the Coma methods in this country for whatever reasons. Therefore keeping insurance companies from ever allowing us the benefit of knowing what it might feel like to have one freaking day of our lives - just one day mind you - PAIN FREE!

In my twisted little mind I have always believed that the control mechanisms -the government, pharmaceutical companies and the insurance companies have over us, is the unwillingness to completely cure us of all diseases. Therefore leaving us needy and reliant on Government Funding, Insurance Policies and Pharmaceutical Manufacturers producing medications for our medical needs. Bottom line - MONEY!!!

It's all about the money. If you or I could afford to go through what this young lady went through and than only required an occasional booster imagine the millions of folks who would also do it? The amount of money that would be lost through the above mentioned agencies would be astronomincal. And I for one are now on limited funds without work like so many of us with RSD. And even those of us with work don't find ourselves any better off without the help of our insurances.

Okay - I think it's time they take me away in the paddy wagon. Do I sound crazy? Even a little paranoid? I honestly think it's a case of deliberate Beauracratic Red Tape.

THERE IS NO MONEY IN CURES!!!!
