Now you have to tell. i've got nothing else.
Reality?

scientific
placebo
bumblebee

incidentally - scientifically - bumblebees can't fly. but they do.
scientifically placebos don't prove whether a drug works or not
they just prove that some people have within themselves to make
healing take place. Placebos can't heal. but they do.
and science? what is it? proof? maybe? but proof can be
manipulated for monitary gain and still be blanketed in an
official mumbojumbo "doctor speak" stated as scientific proof.
great, when it works, destroying, when it hurts, "evil, when it could heal
but instead, watches the caged - trade pain for addiction."

i think we are all on the same path. i didn't know about the bumblebees so i would not have figured it out. i see many variations on this same theme but mostly i see that none of them are what they are designed to be. so anything is possible. scientific is designed to prove but it doesn't/placebo is not supposed to work but it does.

We are very open minded and tolerant of alternative treatments but this forum would not tolerate it 10 yrs. ago. i've learned to be open to whatever is reported and will say i feel better than i have in a while. people say i look calm and they can't tell. But just spend 5 min and you know something is off.

Point is, it's not over till the last lady sings...don't know where they got that original saying but it isn't very nice. i don't know how to be on one side or another in this unknown situation but looking at the history should help. if mr. coleman won't share his information, he needs to provide proof that it has worked somehow. i can't help but wonder where these people are. it's understandable that curing pd isn't happening with most of us.

But who am i to say it isn't true? i think a cure will be announced in a big way and was disappointed to hear that some pretty big claims have been proven to be inconclusive and downright untrue, like global warning being our fault or even that it is happening and bad data about vaccines that has led to the appearance of measles in the UK. ..lindy is that true?

ok it went together and i find jingle's poetry to be a challenge but don't get it very often without her help. Thanks for going along with it Pam.

We should do this more often.
