Coconut oil? What blather is that? And did you read the bleeding article? No you Bluenorthwest Oct 2013 #8

There is nothing dark about what I wrote. nt tridim Oct 2013 #24

Did you read what you wrote? Orrex Oct 2013 #26

Coconut oil health benefits are not pseudoscience. tridim Oct 2013 #29

You framed it in terms of stereotypical "Big Pharma Is Evil" Orrex Oct 2013 #30

Thank you. AtheistCrusader Oct 2013 #53

Some coconut oil will fix you up pronto! Orrex Oct 2013 #56

Do I guzzle it, or rub it on.. places? AtheistCrusader Oct 2013 #70

Apparently Rx drugs are the only answer. Disappointing. nt tridim Oct 2013 #20

Apparently wishful thinking is your preferred answer. Unsurprising. nt Orrex Oct 2013 #32

Are you upset that some ppl use diet and exercise instead of prescription drugs to remain healthy? tridim Oct 2013 #34

Nope. Orrex Oct 2013 #37

No, they should use leeches. jeff47 Oct 2013 #38

Why do you think scientists are evil? I sure don't. tridim Oct 2013 #40

Actually, big pharma is scientists. jeff47 Oct 2013 #43

Big pharma is for profit wisechoice Oct 2013 #48

So are most scientists. jeff47 Oct 2013 #49

But their pay check is way smaller wisechoice Oct 2013 #52

Big pharma only exists by employing scientists. jeff47 Oct 2013 #72

That is not the complaint wisechoice Oct 2013 #77

Go look at your first post in this thread jeff47 Oct 2013 #84

it is a discussion forum wisechoice Oct 2013 #112

So you prescribe firing all scientists as a cure for "Big pharma"? Wow. Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2013 #81

Reading. Try it. jeff47 Oct 2013 #83

Writing clearly is a great way to making successful posts. I recommend you try it. nt Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2013 #86

I am. You're busy reading in things that I did not write. (nt) jeff47 Oct 2013 #94

So, getting paid is now evil in your book. You work for free. Very kind of you. Thank you. nt Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2013 #80

I'm not the one calling them evil. (nt) jeff47 Oct 2013 #82

You do in posts 43 and 38 Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2013 #85

So still not reading. jeff47 Oct 2013 #89

Ok, say it then. You think Big Pharma is NOT evil. If you think they are "wonderful", you can too. Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2013 #96

For brain disease. jeff47 Oct 2013 #126

There were scientists before there was Big Pharma. caseymoz Oct 2013 #66

No one is saying they are the same. jeff47 Oct 2013 #73

You are. Your post 43: "Actually, big pharma is scientists." You equate them. Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2013 #88

Constitution of a group is not the entirety of that group. jeff47 Oct 2013 #91

Right. Equating them is not making that distinction. You need to write such distinctions clearly.nt Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2013 #97

No, you are equating them. jeff47 Oct 2013 #127

You used the word "is" which is equating them. Your choice of word. nt Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2013 #137

No, is can also be used for constituency. jeff47 Oct 2013 #138

No more and no less that Ted Nugent is a rocker... LanternWaste Oct 2013 #71

Even better than a drug, they might find dietary items that would fight it. Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2013 #15

I'm sorry, but it's ridiculous to make that claim cali Oct 2013 #25

I should have used the word "prevent", consistent with notion of activities that prevent it listed. Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2013 #27

Not sure if "that claim" refers to the OP or my post, but here is some information Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2013 #33

There's a tiny grain of truth in the claim jeff47 Oct 2013 #42

You clearly know little about diet and the blood brain barrier. Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2013 #90

:facepalm: jeff47 Oct 2013 #93

Your strawman. Only you are claiming anyone is claiming foods "cure" a brain disease. nt Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2013 #100

Or you could go read the first post I responded to, which claimed coconut oil was a cure. (nt) jeff47 Oct 2013 #128

That post #7 never mentions "cure". You are the only one talking about a cure. nt Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2013 #136

It presents it as a treatment in place of the one in the OP. That means "cure". (nt) jeff47 Oct 2013 #139

Only you would think that "treatment" means "cure" or that prevention means "cure". Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2013 #141

You attack a non exist antecedent and claim therefore the science is junk. Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2013 #103

:facepalm: again. jeff47 Oct 2013 #130

Your post has binary thinking again & you confuse adding an additional means with replacing one. nt Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2013 #135

Are they largescale longitudinal studies spanning decades? Orrex Oct 2013 #65

Yes, longitudinal studies, a famous one being with nuns. Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2013 #120

678 participants doesn't seem all that largescale to me Orrex Oct 2013 #122

You are free to stop exercising and sit on a couch watching TV with bags of chips if you want to. Bernardo de La Paz Oct 2013 #123

Petty. And irrelevant. Orrex Oct 2013 #125

It's not that simple Orrex Oct 2013 #142
