Jim;

That was indeed good news for many people with ulcers. I remember that so well and you do not hear mention of it today - as if it never happened! I would like to know how many medical doctors use this approach with his/her patients? It would not suprise me if "traditional medical approaches" are still being used to treat ulcers. Why use something new that works in many cases when you can use "tried and true" methodologies?

When it comes to medicine we sometimes have the privilege of choosing a doctor who agrees with our feelings about how we wish to be treated as patients and use an approach we feel will benefit us. Too bad we cannot do that with our leaders! Once they get into office their “true colors are reveled”!

Doctors and politicians have destroyed many lives. The statistic that medical doctors in the United States kill more people than hand guns is real. To add insult to injury if your doctor kills you, you are still legally responsible to pay your bill. It will be paid by your insurance or your estate but it will be paid.

How many surgeons would advise a ulcer patient to take an antibiotic to cure his/her problem? Slice and dice baby, I have my Mercedes payment to make! Next!
