Bryan – I would like to offer my SINCERE APPOLOGY if I offended you in any way. The same would be appreciated.

In no way does Bryan owe you an apology. He never stooped to ad hominem attacks. On the other hand, you did.

I had run across Dr. Horton’s statement when another physician quoted it during a conference on antioxidants and chemotherapy. He was talking about controversial research, “Scientific knowledge is definitely not conclusive, but patients have to act. Even taking no antioxidants is itself an action. We have to go with the preponderance of data and with our interpretation of that.” He agreed with the general principal and liked the statement. Sorry You Disagree.

We disagree with the context in which you used the statement.

I find it interesting that so many of you have nothing better to do with your time than search the web through thousands of Pharmanex hits to seek out my “identity”

It didn't take much time

I never tried to hide the fact that I sold their products.

Then why didn't you simply come out and say that you sold their products in your initial post ?

In the grand scheme of things, if people put this much time and energy into more important health and social affairs the world might be a lot better off.

And if we simply listened to your saled pitch uncritically, you might be better off. Financially, that is

I don’t need to defend myself or the company I work with.

You're correct. You don't need to defend yourself. But I would question the manner in which you promoted your company.

JP – you say this is a non-adversarial group.
“Only if you agree with them!”

Well, if you had been able to make your points in a manner which demonstrates integrity, you might not have encountered the response that you did. Unfortunately, the current weight of scientific evidence in favour of that which you promote is underwhelming, despite your attempts to convince us otherwise.

Why not do a search on Werner Gellermann, Ph.D. and National Institute of Health Grants – check out the priority level given to his research. (I guess that is again an irrelevant statement)

You're correct. It is irrelevant. It's yet another 'appeal to authority'.


Gail, I think that you understand EXACTLY why we responded the way we did. Your posts were attempts to get us to buy your product, and you became upset and rude when we had the gall to challenge you. You didn't really think that a group of intelligent people, several of whom have advanced degrees in scientific fields were going fall hook, line , and sinker for your sales pitch, did you? If so, you need to find a more gullible audience.
