ALRIGHTY THEN! Lets talk testimonials! Yep, lots of people will give you testimony that some of the exercise they try WORKS FOR THEM! And thats just what I am here for: to offer you ideas that might make your life better with PD, dystonia and more. And while I have a for-sale DVD, here on facebook everything is FREE!!! That said, you may, in frustration, read about miracle cures...and even may have supportive testimonials. Please use common sense when this happens...if it truly IS a miracle cure, dont you think the Parkinsons organizations and medical community would be breaking down the doors? Perhaps more sophisticated in 2014, this isnt new! I thought I would share this about a quack device that I own...sold from about 1906-11. Here is the report of the hearing that jailed the promoter of the item: from 1915 JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, (Volume 64) The scheme has been a profitable one. At the trial it was brought out that the Oxypathor costs $1.23; it sold for $35. Aside from the element of suggestion inseparable from the use of a mysterious, expensive-appearing and imposing- looking device, purchasers of the Oxypathor could have obtained just as valuable curative effects from an empty tomato tin with a string tied to it. As a therapeutic agent, the Oxypathor belongs in the same class as the left hind foot of a rabbit caught in a graveyard in the dark of the moon. Yet at the trial the exploiters of the Oxypathor were able to produce witnesses to testify to the curative value of their gas-pipe — and a few of the witnesses called themselves doctors! This exhibition of credulity — or, in the case of physicians, worse — is but another proof of the inherent worthlessness of testimonials. Imposing and convincing testimony would have been forthcoming long ago to prove the therapeutic efficiency of the rabbits foot if some one had an exclusive proprietary interest in the sale of rabbits feet. — {With Modifications and Additions from The Journal A. M. A., Nov. 14, 1914.) The solicitors memorandum after quoting in detail some of the false and fraudulent claims made for the Oxypathor, continues : Both at the criminal trial and at the hearing before this office the government produced expert testimony which clearly showed that the claims of the company for this device were entirely without foundation in fact. Physicists, chemists and experts on radio-activity, all of whom appeared and testified in behalf of the government, agreed that the machine was absolutely inert and without power to influence any substance known to science, or to increase magnetism in any way. please free to share!
