Hold on here a second, Bruce...
Let us consider that Scottl came here to this forum proclaiming he is a doctor, correct?
If scottl was indeed a doctor, then he would not be asking us to answer such questions.
I consider it dangerous to awknowlege an individual as a medical doctor if they are not; I am not a doctor, and I state that very clearly. Scottl, on the other hand, introduced himself here as a physician. Then he proceeded to ask a series of questions and comments to the members of this forum which either imply that either he did not retain the most fundamental principles in medicine or he was quite forgetful of them. Now, I never said being an MD was a requirement to post here; however, in the world in which I live, a physician's medical opinion is regarded as advise from which one can deduce a rational course of action. Now Bruce: consider that scottl's comments have clearly indicated that he does not know the difference between a placebo controlled trial and one that isn't, he does not know to discard case reports; further, I have made what I consider to be a compelling case to the members of this forum that, if we are indeed to be enhancing or extending the quality of our lives, we need to ensure that that our supplier not only claims to respect our livelihood, but takes a course of actions in which our demands for quality control are considered a top priority. Scottl has repeatedly referred to a company which does not respect this community enough to organize our own member-based quality control program. I have proven that the owner and associates of 1fast400/bulknutrition.com has even issued several false statements regarding quality control procedures.
Bruce, do you understand that I have already spoken with members of this forum regarding testing a vendor's products in exchange for store credit? The principles that I have set forth for this quality control testing underscore the fundamental values of this community: that our lives are to be respected with the utmost regard; enough so that we, the members of this forum, can work together to ensure that the very supplements that are intended to extend and enhance our lives are free of deadly contaminants; and I believe that such a vendor should be honored and any other that does not trust this community to organize programs that value our lives should be discarded. That is my opinion.
Bruce, I would also like you to submit a sample of these products, so you can see yourself the magnitude of importance that I place on the safety of the members of this forum. I do feel scottl's comments, should be not recognized as those imploring the most fundamental principle in modern medicine:
Commitment to professional competence
Physicians must be committed to lifelong learning and be responsible for maintaining the medical knowledge and clinical and team skills necessary for the provision of quality care. More broadly, the profession as a whole must strive to see that all of its members are competent and must ensure that appropriate mechanisms are available for physicians to accomplish this goal.
I rest my case. Please let me know your further thoughts on this matter, Bruce; it is great to have you commenting in this forum, we certainly appreciate your presence here.
Be well.
