Why We Removed the Dr. Berkson Thread

[Cindy]

Hi,

We took down the thread about Dr. Berkson until we have a chance to check into his background, credentials and treatments.  Given this is a holiday weekend, we won't be able to do that until next week.  

We appreciate your patience and wish each of you a very Happy Thanksgiving!!

As always you speak for the cured and never for the uncured. For the most part those people leave the forum to never be heard from again.  Those are the people who the berkson or Dr Weil or Dr Zhang threads are intended for.  I am happy for all that have cleared using TX but for those who need other options I hope they all continue to look. Its been one month since my visit with DR Berkson and I will give it a few more weeks then get blood work and report the before and after results. Anyone not interested in my thread on this please do not open it.

I'm involved with "big pharma" to the extent that I have been cured of both HCV and cancer due to courses of treatment made available by pharmaceutical companies.  Strange to me how you bristle at the suggestion that the proponents of the Dr. Berkson clinic may have a financial interest, yet you accuse me of being involved with drug companies.  If you don't want to take interferon, by all means don't take it.  I chose my courses of treatment for my own reasons, and you should do likewise.

In any case, you are posting on a public forum, where others are free to air their opinions as well.  As you are so hostile to anybody who disagrees with you I repeat my earlier suggestion.  Start a group and discuss anything you like in private with like minded people.  

I find your rudeness quite pathetic.

The concept of 'owning' a thread in a public forum has always amused me. It's kind of like going to Star Registry and having a star named after you.

involved with the drug companys are you?  "

As most of us here willing to accept MH's side of the equation agree that this guy has proven to do NOTHING to cure HCV but many of us have done interferon (SOC) or a trial (PI) and been cured - we are all cured we are all involved with the drug companies to some extent.

You were involved in the original thread.  Whats the difference?   You wouldn't be one of those people involved with the drug companys are you?  Strange to me how someone without a vested intrest would want to be so involed with this discussion.

"The berkson post is my post"

Yes and it was taken down with REASON.


We all agreed to abide by the decision that MH and their experts made.   If you presume to know more than the experts then are incorrect and are just being argumentative for certain.

Start a whole forum to spread the news of Mr. Berkson if you would like - but we did agree here to listen to the experts.

Big pharma is not the enemy, hcv is.  Inteferon is a cure, not an enemy.  Bless the big pharma for finding that cure and for doing trials and upping the odds on beating this disease constantly.

And damn anyone who makes things up without proof just to make a buck or a name for themself who take innocent people and mess with their lives by tricking them into thinking that lima bean enema's will cure you.

Again to reiterate - no proof = does nothing proven = waste of money = read between the lines and stop being a wise guy, it's not funny and this was what we ALL agreed to.
