Remember how Galileo, in his Dialoge of the World Systems, created two characters to argue the sides of the sun centered universe versus the earth centered view. Salviati argues for the Copernican system while Simplicio (the perfect foil) argues for the Ptolemaic, earth-centric view. This, Galileo did so he could put forth Copernican views in the form of debate without himself espousing philosophy that would run him afoul of the Inquisition.
I think that Rocker and GoffyDad are one and the same person! You devious genius, Goofy! ...or is it Rocker?? ;-)
Well said Mike. You took the words right out of my mouth.
mike and goofy: You have just entered the purgatorial zone!!
Rocker...ok, photos, we want photos...yes it is like watching a train wreck but come on....you can be a little tease you silly wabbit!!
I came , I loooked,,,no photos...my kingdom for some pond scum!!
: )
Well said, Trish.
I don't have the answers either (imagine that!) but my line of thinking prettty much parallels yours. It always bugged the heck out of me, say, sitting in a support group or whatever and someone chirps up that God has healed them...He's heard their prayer !!!!! And everyone (except me) gathers around them to offer congratulations.That's just darn cruel! I'm sitting there thinking, well, used to anyway, wondering what I'm doing wrong that my prayers weren't answered. It wasn't exactly 'sour grapes' but I was curious if there was a way I could move "myself up the ladder" to have a better chance at things. Well, those days are long gone, except for the urge to whack people on the side of the head when they start in with the healed thing, Now I try more to keep my eyes and heart open to the the daily gifts provided to help me through troubled times.
This thread is punishment.

Riddle me this?...why is it a person dies on this planet dies every 1.3 seconds and im still alive?
Uhhhhh..... because you weren't one of those people?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pretty much. To suggest that God picks some people to live and others to die or that those who remain have somehow earned it by virtue of some act that God favours thereby suggesting that those who do not remain were not worthy enough somehow gives far too much credit to the living and dishonours those who have passed on. I believe it is and shall remain a mystery of life and is much more random than that and that it's pointless to try to determine why one remains and another doesn't but rather to make the most of the life one has. That God is there with grace in difficult moments and that it's our place to be thankful for the good things in life and show compassion to others when their journey becomes a more difficult road and heavier load.
The spirit within will guide all in whichever path that is laid before them. Some may or may not have a choice but its acceptance, is within ones spirit.

Riddle me what?
You are here for a reason , yet I don't know what that reason is.
Tell me ...This is not a riddle, why are you here and my son is not?
Same question, just put a different spin on this line of BS.
Uhhhhh..... because you weren't one of those people?

Have you ever done something or given someone your help and time and they never ever even show one ounce of appreciation for all you did?...Well think about this for a second,how do think your God, creator,what ever you want to call , feels when you dont be grateful for what you recieve or are about too.Im not overly religious but all i know it i prayed everynite to beat this disease even before i even heard of PI`s..all i want to say it i thank the entity that created me,some one or something have to have made me,because i KNOW i was created by some force and this is fact...we were all created by design..too deep?
Check out the photo in my photo albums and see the results fro the ion foot baths i did.....BTW....i used distilled water and ebson salt so the array dosent corrode.this white gunk only happened the one time only after about 7 sessions...i firmly believe it was the TX drugs
Immersing your feet in electically charged water(ionization) works on the same princple as the the the air ionizer works.Actually water works better.If you want to understand how this simple concept works,just googled it up,im not going to try and expailn something if you cant understand what ions areand how they affect the body.... the FDA approves of ion machines for hospitals and such....im not trying to convince anyone to get into ions for ur health ...im just explaining why i was worried...ill even send you a pic of the water after i used it and the white particles that went into the water....and i am not crazy
Rodger that. You put your feet in the pail of water. What I don't get is what an air ionizer has to do with your pail of water. In ionized air an ionized molecule can bond to a foriegn partical, making a larger particle that might precipitate or be filtered out. I'm having trouble connecting this process to the image of your pail.
YOUSASKED:
Rocker - Do either of the preceding postings have anything in common with putting your feet in a pail of "ionized" water, beyond that the descriptions all share the word "ionized"? If so, I'd appreciate your explanation...cause I can''t figure it out.
Thanks.
Yes....pervious post:

Im worried because i went on a super cleaning regime about 4-5 months post TX and i may have removed some of the meds from my system,i did something that im afraid to even mention as you may think im either too paranoid or crazy or its true what i did ..ill let you know what im talkn about after i get my results...you wont believe what im going to tell you what i did and seen il tell you after the PCR
yes it's punishment waiting...but think how much fun not knowing can be.
You could take the tack that ignorance is bliss...while it's there...
I'm just glad it wasn't something involving slugs... ; )
but all that white curd in the water....maybe you were exuding toe cheese ; )
: 0 little miss tuffit eating her curds and whey....!!!
Take it easy dude, you've done all you could do and then some.
Dollars to donuts you'll be just fine. Good luck!!!
But seriously, if you water log skin AND do it with certain minerals it can leach stuff out of the body....that was known long before the methods of ionization were discovered. Magnesium softens skin up considerably....I used it in my PT and it works at dissolving away old dead skin...the feet have more dead skin buildup than the rest of the body combined, so if you stayed in the water long enough you would remove dozens of layers of skin, ions or no ions. the heels alone can have 1/4 inch of dead skin on them.

More facts on Negative Ions
Approved by the U.S. FDA (Food & Drug Admin.) as an approved allergy treatment.
In March of 1999, Good Housekeeping Magazine had its engineers test an ionizer by using a smoke test, and found that it cleared out the smoke in a tank.
A recent study by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture found that ionizing a room led to 52% less dust in the air, and 95% less bacteria in the air (since many of the pollutants found in the air reside on floating dust particles).

Also, acclimatization to heat encourages sweating, which should create a greater demand for the renal reabsorption of Na(+) ions which enables greater reabsorption of uric acid. Therefore people living at low latitudes should have a lower chance of hypouricemia and a lower chance of developing MS. In fact people who spend their first fifteen years in the tropics almost never go onto develop MS. And MS patients in relapse are consistently hypouricemic. This hypothesis can explain both of these facts. The paper goes onto show how the MS condition will tend to progress because of a number of self-sustaining effects: over time the immune system becomes more targeted to myelin, MS patients are unlikely to become acclimatized to heat because they tend to avoid heat since demyelinated nerve function is worsened by elevated temperature, and the normal circadian excitation of the HPA axis gets weaker under the benign environmental conditions typically adopted by MS patients as the disease develops.

Metabolism, which is the process of acquiring nutrients from the blood and excreting waste out of the body, is extremely important to the human cells. The more Negatively Charged Electric Ions there are in the blood, the more efficient the cell's metabolism process

"feet dont smell for no reason"
Indeed they do not. The smell because it's too dark to see inside a laced pair of tennies - and they gotta know where they're going somehow. It's kinda like a bloodhound in a foggy swamp I guess. Did yu ever notice that feet in flip-flops don't smell as much?
Dude - you forgot the eggplant!
