Also, please be aware that the crybabies who run to you and complain about others are oftentimes the very ones who go out of their way to make vitriolic and caustic remarks that provoke a response. You are a smart guy and I know you understand this. My style is to never fire until I’m fired upon first. Please keep an eye on the provacateurs who specialize in goading other posters to enter into a fight.

Thank you. CWD is a great blog site and one of the few where we can go to get mostly the truth. And I appreciate that from the bottom of my heart. Over and out.

Remember when cord blood banks were the hottest thing in America since sliced bread? That’s when at birth some doc saves the blood in the umbiblical cord and placenta that is rich in stem cells. The idea was to use the stem cells to correct genetic disease later on down the road. I had an acquaintance who cashed in on that circus. He had a couple sales people paid mainly on commission and contracted the services of a couple 6-year program docs. The charge was an initial $3k to save the stem cells in his cord blood bank and $100/mo service charge (rent) to maintain it. Nice income stream for doing practically zip. Now years later we find out that the stem cell craze was mainly a scam! heh. But it created a brand new industry and made lots of people some nice cash. I read somewhere that about 1 of 500 people who have their stems cells (cord blood) saved would ever need a stem cell transplant or whatever. heh. And sometimes it’s even contraindicated to use the stems cells in a variety of treatments since they contain the genetic material that carries the hereditary disease that can complicate matters. Oh well. If they can track down the guy who sold them the contract maybe they can ask for a refund. Buyer beware. You buy a pig in a poke and it’s yours! 😀

You know what his solutions include?

– Toughening FDA restrictions on legal prescription drugs like percocet, xanex, oxy, vicodin, etc…

– Spend more taxdollars training 1st responders.

– Free treatment for drug addicts.

blah, blah, blah……..

Listen, you can’t fix stupid. No matter how many laws you make or how much money you spend on it. Stupid will always win in the end. Always.

Vicodin, percocet, xanex, oxy, etc….are invaluable LEGAL drugs for those who need them. So what are you going to do??? Make legitimate users get a note signed by the POTUS to pick up a script at Joe’s pharmacy? Grow up.

If a kid sniffs glue to get high what are you going to do??? Make glue illegal forcing me to make my own at home with tree sap???

These are purportedly educated and wise journalists writing this bunk. No wonder society is gettng flushed.
