Result number: 1 Posted by Michelle on 5/09/10 at 21:12 Hi Greg, I had TT release as well as PF release on April 12. I had the same problem you speaking of. I mentioned it to my doctor at my 10 day check up. He said that it should start gradually getting better and I am very happy to say that he was right. At about day 15 I could actually crutch into the kitchen without horrible pain. Good luck!
Result number: 2 Posted by Dr. Ed on 5/09/10 at 19:47 The success rate depends, to a large extent, on the cause of the tarsal tunnel syndrome. If there is a growth in the tarsal tunnel (sometimes even a varicose vein) placing pressure on the nerve, then the success rate is higher. If there is scar tissue placing pressure on the nerve, then the success rate is lower. The reason is that surgical removal of scar tissue often leads to more scar tissue. If the cause of the tarsal tunnel syndrome is biomechanical, surgery does not address that. Stated success rates are often aggregates for all causes. If the cause of the tarsal tunnel syndrome is scar tissue then a good trial of effective conservative modalities should be tried. Dr. Ed
Result number: 3 Posted by Greg on 5/08/10 at 22:49 How Many of you have/had it in both feet? Unfortunatly I do, and will get the left foot done in the fall or winter. Other than the obvious pain that comes with the surgery, I have noticed a difference from my other foot/leg. The pressure seemed to have diminished greatly, and I am ecstatic! Five years of pain, hopfully gone! I might be joining you on the track soon Jaunita!
Result number: 4 Posted by Greg on 5/08/10 at 04:34 Thanks a lot everyone for the responses. Yeah for a few days it was really bad! But luckily it has calmed down some today. Still deep throbbing when it is not elevated, but not as bad. When I crutch around I try and keep my leg straight forward. its touch, but helps with pain.
Result number: 5 Posted by Greg on 5/06/10 at 16:36 I had tarsal tunnel surgery on my right foot last wednesday the 29th of April. The first few days, I took Hydrocodone occasionally to relieve pain that I believe was cause by the actual incision. I was able to crutch over to the bathroom (which was a bit painful because my leg/foot was not elevated) but when I got back to my bed and elevated it, the pain calmed down. For the past 2-3 days though, when I go to the bathroom and remove my leg/foot from the elevated position, severe pain sets in immediately. The pain hurts so bad that I even have trouble urinating. It feels as if all the blood in my body, is rushing down my leg, into my foot. My ankle starts throbbing heavily, and I can barely take the pain. I usually have to take 1 or 2 pain pills when I get back. Is this normal? If so, how long will it last? Also, could there be any difference in recovery due to age? I'm 26, and just wonder if I might heal faster than others, or if my age has anything to do with my post surgery ailments. I doubt it. But just wanted to ask. Thanks everyone.
Result number: 6 Posted by John H on 4/12/10 at 13:39 I am making no suggestion here but posing a very real question. If you are in a Union and your retirement funds are controlled by the Union they are invested in in bonds, stocks, real estate, etc. Typically they are invested so that the return is enough to fund the retirements existing and upcoming for many years out. They know that based on computer models there retirement funds they will need to generate 8.5% or something on that order for the fund to remain solvent. It is actuarial acceptable to have around 75% - 80% in the fund to be considered safe. How they come up with that I do not know but anyway that is approximate. We now have some of these retirement funds that are needing to earn 10%-15% to be solvent. We all know that is impossible. A one year treasury barely pays 1%. Who is at fault here? The Union investment group? The economy? Bad investments with a planned return on investment which was way to high to start with. A much to high of expected retirement income. How many of you expect to retire before you are 60 with a $100,000 annual income from your retirement plan? Many people do and then take a second job doing the same thing at almost the same rate of pay. Should the Federal Government have any responsibility to make these retirement funds whole if they fail? If I handle my own retirement funds and I invest poorly or have bad luck with a falling economy there is no one going to bail me out. At the same time I am struggling should the Feds come to me for more tax money to bail out people who are making 4 times more than me? That is almost certainly going to happen in states starting with California. This is what you call a welfare state. The state assembly of California has failed time and time again to put their financial house in order. There taxes have driven out company after company while they have one of the most egregious public retirement systems in the nation. One could have seen this coming years ago but the state government continues down it path to bankruptcy. Sort of sounds a little like Greece. The Euro Nations are coming to the aid of Greece but at what cost to those other nations in the Euro block? Spain has an unemployment rate of 20%. The average for the Euro block is 10.1% unemployment. Is the socialistic state really what we want to be. We are headed in that direction. One thing remains certain and that there is no free lunch. In the long run the government cannot make you whole. Only you can. Early Americans arrived here with nothing and expected nothing except to be left alone by government. These people started the westward movement and drove this to be the greatest nation on earth. Somewhere we lost our way.
Result number: 7 Posted by Jeremy L, C Ped on 2/04/10 at 19:00 There's evidence suggesting both sides of the 'eternal argument': to place kinds in supportive shoes or not. Here are some things to keep in mind: 1. Just because you're having foot problems does not necessarily mean that your kids will. Many times, foot pain in adults comes from poor selection of footwear over the span of many years. Kids feet are especially malleable, so there's often less permanent issues regarding footwear selection. That said, really bad shoes, worn extensively and universally could certainly promote poor development in growing feet. 2. Genetics does work. If there are signs of egregious deformity (i.e. the inside of the foot and ankle is totally pancaked to the inside), then professional assistance is in order. 3. The bones in a child's foot do not fully develop for many years. It's important to allow the intrinsic and extrinsic musculature to develop and strengthen naturally (unless there are clear signs of trouble). That occurs by going barefoot. I can't see any reason why you would have to rush any of your kids to a DPM for evaluation unless you suspect significant developmental problems. Your best first step is to visit a store with a solid, professional staff who specialize in kids shoes (i.e. NOT department stores or your local Footlocker, et.al.). One other thing that I can relate is regarding the popularity in Crocs (and their many copied versions). Few footwear items stem natural development in kids feet as well as those do. As we like to say, kids Crocs are good for business.

Result number: 12 Posted by AllenF on 10/18/09 at 16:50 Marie, You do not seem to understand the difference between civil litigation and criminal prosecution. They are completely different from each other. That is what I have been trying to tell you over and over and over again in my first and second comments. It is very important that you fully understand the difference between the two. If the manager did that to my daughter he would be criminally liable for false imprisonment, and kidnapping. The men who raped her would be criminally liable for rape and probably several other crimes. This is VERY different from civil litigation. It would be up to the government and the government alone to investigate and determine whether or not to press charges. Yes my daughter could sue the deep pockets of the company but that would be in civil court not criminal court. As we saw in this case it would almost certainly not even matter if she had signed a contract with an arbitration clause as the case with this KBR woman points out. Due to this case the courts seem to have decided that when the claim is so egregious the arbitration clause is null and void. This sets a precedent and creates 'case law' in and of itself. Being able to keep the arbitration clause is very important so companies can avoid frivolous lawsuits. So please, stop trying to make it sound like I am treating rape as some simple light offense. If what you said happened to my daughter I would want those men and the manager to be criminally prosecuted and have to spend the rest of their lives rotting in jail doing hard labor. I would be much less interested in suing and much more interested in finding justice. I would not be blaming the Wendy's corporation for this. It would be the pieces of garbage that did this I would be after.
Result number: 13 Posted by Dr. DSW on 10/10/09 at 05:31 Norm, I agree with Dr. Wedemeyer, but as per your thoughts, it certainly can't 'hurt'. Although Metanx is really indicated for diabetic neuropathy, I have prescribed Metanx for my patients with varying nerve related symptoms including tarsal tunnel symptoms, 'Morton's' neuroma symptoms, other peripheral neuropathy symptoms, nerve injuries, etc., and the vast majority of these patients have responded positively with successful results. As you may already know, Metanx is simply a prescription of B vitamins, therefore patients ask why they can't take B vitamins without the RX. If you visit the Metanx website (PamLabs) there's an excellent explanation. I have no financial interest in this company, but have seen excellent results in my patients. There is an excellent doctor that used to post a lot on this site, Dr. Greg Mowen (Dr. G), but unfortunately doesn't post anymore. He's a DPM who has practice with a specialty in nerve related disorders. I believe that Dr. Mowen also utilizes Metanx on many of his patients with nerve related disorders of various etiologies, although I certainly can not speak for Dr. Mowen. I personally have no experience with alpha lipoic acid, and Dr. Wedemeyer has a stronger background with nutrition/vitamins and may be able to tell you if you can take both alpha lipoic acid and Metanx. (I don't see any contra-indications).
Result number: 14 Posted by marie:) on 10/09/09 at 18:04 I don't get how this happened to begin with. http://www.smallgovtimes.com/2009/10/oil-companies-to-benefit-on-backs-of-federal-taxpayers/ Today, the U.S. Supreme Court denied the federal government’s request to appeal a decision in favor of Anadarko Petroleum. The decision allows oil and gas companies holding leases signed from 1996-2000 to operate royalty-free in the Gulf of Mexico, even in times of record profits. When DWWRA was enacted, oil prices were around $16/barrel and the legislation’s intention was to provide royalty relief for oil and gas companies only when prices were below $28/ barrel. But with oil prices hovering around $50/barrel and having reached well over $100/barrel in the last year, this decision will likely amount to one of the biggest giveaways to big oil on the books. The Government Accountability Office estimates that lost revenue from all DWWRA leases could be as high as $53 billion over the next 25 years. Several lawmakers and the Administration have proposed legislative action to recoup the royalty losses from the Gulf leases. We look forward to seeing these reforms enacted into law and urge swift action to end to this egregious giveaway.
Result number: 15 Posted by john h on 8/25/09 at 17:14 Rick my misadventure with animals was when me and my buddy were fishing in south Georgia in a lake surrounded by a very wooded area. We were bass fishing in the late afternoon. We had heard and seen some wild pigs on the banks all day. They were skinny and made all kinds of noise. We figured no problem as they were just skinny pigs so we started to venture towards shore as about 5 or 6 pigs seemed to congregate where we were going to pull our little 14' flat bottom on shore. The closer we got the louder they got and we begin to wonder if they could pose a threat. About 10' from shore I pulled our stringer of fish out of the water as it was starting to get shallow. At that point all the pigs jumped in the water and made like tarzan for our boat. I got out a paddle but I was no match for 6 determined pigs. They actually jumped into the boat and the first bite I saw one of them take on one of my 5-6 lb bass cut him right in half. The boat was sure not big enough for 2 men and 6 hungary pigs so we jumped into the water and headed for shore.
Result number: 16 Posted by Dr. Wedemeyer on 6/24/09 at 15:25 'Forget about Surgery, Cortisone Injections, Braces and Splints, Orthotics or Ultrasound Therapy. I invented this new treatment for myself and I am almost cured in only one month. It will only cost you about 3 dollars and 15 minutes of work everyday. I know what you are thinking... I must be crazy or trying to sell something. No, this is not an infomercial... The 3 dollars are for a jar of Vaseline Petroleum Jelly. The rest is a daily massage that you can do it by yourself.' This was the original post and it was absurd medically, I agree with Dr. DSW. You may not agree with his response but much of it was tongue in cheek due to the abjectly absurd nature of the post and the fact that this poster is urging people to 'Forget about Surgery, Cortisone Injections, Braces and Splints, Orthotics or Ultrasound Therapy.' Further uanto wrote this ludicrous explanation of heel spurs gained from the site he/she linked to: 'Researching online I found that the Heel spur is an accumulation of calcified deposit that attaches itself onto the calcaneus. That the tissue surrounding the calcaneus is not very vascular, and the exudate -- a by-product of inflammation -- has very few ways to be carried away from the area. After a period of time, this exudate will calcify (or harden) and, after repeated trauma, greater amounts of this calcified deposit will create what we call heel spur.' Just for clarification the spur at the heel that commonly forms in PF is a traction spur resulting from constant load of the tensile structures of the plantar foot creating new bone growth. To compound the egregiously inaccurate medical advice given by the poster he then confuses the calcaneal heel spur with Achilles tendinitis changes commonly seen at the posterior heel: 'After one month of this treatment I can see that the bump in the back of my heel is almost completely gone.' So which is it uanto, plantar fasciitis with calcaneal heel spur, Achilles tendinitis with Haglund's deformity or can you not distinguish the difference? While I have great respect for the role massage therapists, obtaining advice off of the internet placed by a non-physician provider is a hazardous error in judgment. This post absolutely confirms why. If you read that internet article you will also note that while uanto proposes that regular massage of the area cured him/her, the therapist who wrote the article advises that is not the case (and does recommend ultrasound, which uanto suggests is ineffective). In fact the author does not specify where the 'heel spur' occurs and possibly uanto is just plain confused, as are a lot of people who gain knowledge from a source other than a qualified doctor. By the way the 'exudate' that the author describes is not accurate and could be due to other causes that calcify muscle and tendon which also should be seen by a physician as they are due to trauma or systemic illness. Also Haglund's deformity can be caused by other factors such as local irritation (pump bump) and this is not tendinitis but from contact with the heel counter of an inappropriately fitting shoe or the angle of high heels. Get your information from qualified personnel. An internet diagnosis is folly and some advice from others about your condition is inaccurate and inappropriate. Dr. DSW was merely trying to discourage future posts that mislead and much of it was tongue-in-cheek. he has 23 years of experience in treating these maladies and like all of us he grows tired of ridiculous, inaccurate posts that have no place on a web board where there are professionals who can give you accurate information. Food for thought to you who chose to bash him without knowing more or considering the service that he provides here, for free...

Most have become citizens and they are congregated in about three major areas. Around 500,000 are reported to live near Los Angeles. Many have duel passports and voted in the recent elections.

Result number: 19 Posted by john h on 6/08/09 at 11:06 Offending 'other' people. Just in my short life time the meaning of 'Race' has taken on new meaning. Over the centuries scholars and scientist have argued the meaning of 'race' and still do to this day. 'The many meanings of race The modern meaning of the term race with reference to humans began to emerge in the 17th century. Since then it has had a variety of meanings in the languages of the Western world. What most definitions have in common is an attempt to categorize peoples primarily by their physical differences. In the United States, for example, the term race generally refers to a group of people who have in common some visible physical traits, such as skin colour, hair texture, facial features, and eye formation. Such distinctive features are associated with large, geographically separated populations, and these continental aggregates are also designated as races, as the “African race,” the “European race,” and the “Asian race.” (Some experts suggest there are five or more geographic races.) Many people think of race as reflective of any visible physical (phenotypic) variations among human groups, regardless of the cultural context and even in the absence of fixed racial categories. The term race has also been applied to linguistic groups (the “Arab race” or the “Latin race”), to religious groups (the “Jewish race”), and even to ethnic groups having few or no physical traits that distinguish them from their neighbours (the “Irish race,” the “Slavic race,” the “Chinese race”). Even political entities or nationalities are sometimes designated as races (the “French race,” the “Spanish race,” “the Polish race,” etc.).' Form many years of my life when I filled our various forms I was offered the choices of Negroid, Caucasian,, Oriental and sometimes American Indian. Today you are not always offered anything as it might be considered a racist question. At various times in my life the words Negro, Black, and negroid were considered offensive. I recall not really being sure what to call what we mostly now call African Americans. Even here we have problems as some Blacks are offended by being called African Americans. The prefer to be called Americans. I do not think you can now ask any religious questions on government forms. You can bet your last dollar that Israeli's do if you plan to fly on El Al airlines. We may proclaim that race or religion does not matter but it was Jessie Jackson who said he would feel vary nervous walking in parts of NYC at night if a young group of African Americans were waling behind him. I think many people become a little on edge if 4 or 5 young men of Middle Eastern appearance board their airliner carrying handbags. Not like for a year or so after 9/11 but nevertheless their exist an uneasiness. It it not about racism but the reality of 9/11. I notice that sometimes when a crime has been committed that the police description leaves out the obvious description of white, black,or oriental. The most obvious descriptive thing that any of us can recognize. Political Correctness has become in various cases dangerous to our own well being. I certainly noticed in my travels around the world that I may not want it known that I am an American. I cannot hide the fact that I am white and be assured that in parts of the world I am not only not welcome but in danger. What we today call racism has always existed as have religious intolerance. The English and Catholics have fought for a thousand years or more. The Jews and the Arabs have fought since biblical times. The Muslims invaded the West and Christians invaded the East. Nothing exist today that did not exist thousands of years ago. To hope that nice talk will make all this go away is not very likely. Today our leaders are apologizing for things we should not be apologizing for in my opinion. In hindsight we should not have put the Japanese Americans in camps. If you had been alive after Pearl Harbor you saw a spy every time you looked at a Japanese. That is just the way it was. We treated the American Indians more horrible than anyone I can think of but then I did not live in the times when we were at war with the Indians. Both the North and the South treated their prisoners as bad as the Japanese treated American prisoners. Then I was not there when Sherman marched to the sea burning everything in his path. Hindsight is always 20/20. We would all like to live in a perfect world but alas we never will.
Result number: 20 Posted by john h on 5/08/09 at 15:49 Speaking a common language is part of what identifies a nation as a nation. I think immigrants should make ever effort to learn the English language. I do not think we want to be a nation where all the Latinos congregate in one area and make no attempt to learn English. In practice this is what happens. It is also detrimental to their advancement. Same goes for any language. It seems the Japanese are very quick to learn English for whatever reason. It also shows up in their uncanny ability to be the best students in schools. In my small town in suburban Chicago probably 80% of my friends were children of familes that had moved from Italy. All my buddies spoke perfect English as well as perfect Italian. Most of the mothers and fathers had learned enough English to get a job. Grand parents for the most part only spoke Italian. To place young children into American schools and require the school to teach them in thier native tounge does the student and the nation a great diservice in my opinion. That is happening. Half of all my phone calls I place start me off with 'press 1 if you speak English --------'. More and more signs are appearing both in English and Spanish. I understand you just do not arrive in America and start speaking English but there should be an effort that these families have their children learn English. In Miami there are Cuban children who's parents did not speak English and they do not speak English. In Canada there have been problems off and on over many years created by the French speaking province and English speaking provinces Most people do not know it but English is the common language of international flying. You can immagine flying in Europe with so many languages no pilot could learn them all so it was decided that English would be the common language. In real practice it took me some months to understand the variour air controllers as their accents made them sound like they were speaking a foreign language.
Result number: 21 Posted by Dr. DGW on 4/22/09 at 18:57 Completely agree with Greg here in that surgery should be the last consideration for PF sufferers. Conservative care typically yields excellent results and resolution of acute PF pain. The people who post on this board are the small percentage of patients and people who have not achieved significant resolution and who suffer from chronic, recalcitrant PF (and other foot related issues). If your doctor is eager to head you straight off to surgery for acute PF pain, get a second opinion. Also because PF is a multifactorial problem, each case can be considerably different and treatment of PF varies greatly amongst different disciplines. I prefer a combine approach consisting of addressing the biomechanical faults that are causing the PF (PF is almost always an overuse syndrome due to biomechanical faults) in the first place with physical medicine (myofascial release, muscle stimulation, ultrasound, NSAIDS, inserts or custom orthoses and shoe wear assessment and modification) at least initially. There is always time for those cases that do not respond timely to consider injections, ESWT, Topaz, surgical release etc.
Result number: 22 Posted by Greg M on 4/22/09 at 15:57 Are you kidding me??? There are far better methods of intervention for this other than surgery. Fewer than 1% of people with plantar fasciitis or heel spurs should consider surgery as a remedy. I would be happy to provide you with other information... For those that have aleady had the surgery I am sorry you've had to go through that. For those who haven't gone through with surgery, DON'T!!!

Result number: 24 Posted by Rick R on 2/27/09 at 07:04 John, I think that tough uncompromising edge absolutely has its place in extreeme circumstances. I suppose some might call it ruthless. I believe anybody throught history that has been successful leading that way had complementing traits such as personal courage that were essential. What separates those great ones from the ones that got fragged? Last weekend I watched 12 O'clock High with Gregory Peck for the first time in many years. As you may recall the film is about a well liked but not stern leader being replaced by a disciplinarian wo deep down inside had the same level of personal commitment to his men. So it's been a week of reflecting on leadership particularly since I face unemployment and am in the taking stock stage of identifying takeaways and lessons learned. Rick

Result number: 28 Posted by Dr. Z on 1/13/09 at 15:47 by Melanie Phillips What other country would, for showing such unparalleled moral scrupulousness, be vilified and libeled as Israel is? Email this Print this And so now begins the second and most difficult stage. Inside Israel, there is both determination and dread as tens of thousands of Israel's conscript army are called to the front. Untold numbers of these soldiers will lose their lives as the result not merely of the genocidal aims of Hamas (and its Iranian puppet-master), but also the indifference and pusillanimity towards Palestinian terror displayed by world governments over the past six decades of Israel's fight for survival, along with the active encouragement of genocidal Islamists by leftists, Jew-haters, Muslims and useful idiots who were on such thuggish display yesterday in the co-ordinated demonstrations in British and other western cities. Such people have made no protest at the bombardment of Israeli towns by more than 6000 rockets in the past six years, deliberately targeting innocent civilians. They have made no protest at the way Hamas has used Gazan civilians as human shields, situating its murderous arsenals beneath apartment blocks, in schools and hospitals and mosques in order to maximize the numbers of civilians killed (in order to manipulate all-too pliable western opinion). No, their protest only starts when Israel finally takes the military action aimed at stopping this genocidal barrage. The worst thing is the moral inversion, in which the murderous victimization of innocent Israelis is ignored while their murderers are described as 'civilians' when they are finally killed by the Israelis -- who are demonstrably taking care to avoid civilian casualties wherever possible. Tragically, civilians always die in wars; and unfortunately there will undoubtedly be more civilian casualties in Gaza -- along with deaths among Israeli troops -- as the war goes on. But the frenzied misrepresentations, double standards and moral inversion fuelling a hysteria in the west which in turn can only incite more genocidal violence are simply depraved. Particularly striking in its malice is the way in which the treatment of wounded Palestinians in Israeli hospitals is ignored -- while news of the barbaric behavior of Hamas in Gaza's hospitals is airbrushed out of the picture. At WSJ's Opinion Journal, James Taranto noted that a report of this scene in a Gaza hospital briefly appeared in the New York Times a couple of days ago: Armed Hamas militants in civilian clothes roamed the halls. Asked their function, they said it was to provide security. But there was internal bloodletting under way. In the fourth-floor orthopaedic section, a woman in her late 20s asked a militant to let her see Saleh Hajoj, her 32-year-old husband. She was turned away and left the hospital. Fifteen minutes later, Mr. Hajoj was carried out by young men pretending to transfer him to another ward. As he lay on the stretcher, he was shot in the left side of the head. Mr. Hajoj, like five others killed at the hospital this way in 24 hours, [my emphasis] was accused of collaboration with Israel. He had been in the central prison awaiting trial by Hamas judges; when Israel destroyed the prison on Sunday he and the others were transferred to the hospital. But their trials were short-circuited... You won't find that passage now on the New York Times website because, soon after it appeared, it unaccountably vanished into the ether. Nor will many in Britain or the west be aware of this: Dozens of Gaza Arabs are being treated in Ashkelon's Barzilai Hospital at the same time terrorists are bombarding the city. The medical facility, the largest on the southern coast, is in the line of rocket fire, and medical staff often have to stop caring for patients and run for cover during air raid warnings. The 500-bed Barzilai Hospital has close ties with Gaza City's Shifa Hospital, Barzilai deputy director Dr. Ron Lobel told the Associated Press. 'It might seem completely absurd, but we have the privilege to be doctors. Our medical ethics do not distinguish between patients. We treat whoever needs to be treated,' he said One Gaza Arab woman refused to identify herself to AP [Associated Press] because of fear of retribution by terrorists if it were known that her two-month-old granddaughter is being treated in an Israeli hospital. 'I am very sad and hurt. We want peace, not war,' she said as Israel began retaliating after hundreds of Arab rocket and mortar attacks, some of them lethal. The moral inversion in the west is so egregious, so monstrous, that the better Israel is shown to behave the worse the vilification that rains down upon it. What other country in the world would show such restraint in the face of more than 6000 rocket attacks upon its citizens -- 6000! -- that it took seven years before going to war to put a stop to it? What other country would treat individuals -- including proven terrorists -- from that enemy territory in its own hospitals? What other country would continue to provide essential foodstuffs and other supplies to those enemies who continued to fire rockets at it? What other country, when finally forced to go to war to stop the attacks, would show such concern to avoid the loss of civilian life that it contacts the population in enemy territory -- even households containing identified terrorists -- to warn them to flee from the imminent bombardment? And what other country would, for showing such unparalleled moral scrupulousness, be vilified and libeled as Israel is? This conflict is revealing just who is on the side of morality, decency and sanity and who is not. Israel's behavior is moral, legal and proportionate. This conflict is revealing just who is on the side of morality, decency and sanity and who is not. The President of the Czech Republic, who is also the incoming president of the EU, has emerged in the former camp, declaring stoutly that Israel's behavior is both just and necessary. France's president Sarkozy, however, has called upon both sides to stop hostilities -- a moral equivalence which effectively gives Hamas victory by requiring Israel to abandon the defense of its citizens. Similarly in Britain, Foreign Secretary David Miliband has repeated his call for an immediate cease-fire -- while Prime Minister Gordon Brown, has apparently complained to Israel's Prime Minister Olmert that 'too many' people have died. Would that be, perhaps, too many Hamas terrorists who have died? Would Brown have preferred that more of them continued to live so that they could carry on murdering more Israelis? In startling contrast Farid Ghadry, President of the Reform Party of Syria, has written: We Arabs must be the ones to stop Hamas and Hizbullah, rather than support their demonic and twisted logic of resisting development, enlightenment, and progress of the region. Even when development and enlightenment stare them in the face, their instinct is to destroy them pretending to safeguard their honor, the mechanics of which supersede all else including a happy life of fulfillment and accomplishments. So while we abhor violence of all kind, Israel's campaign against Hamas must continue to the bitter end not only for the sake of peace but also to help Arabs realize they have a choice: Destroy like Gaza or develop like Dubai. Will this happen soon? Maybe not, but if a wake-up call and a nudge, once in a while, to pierce through the fog of deceit perpetrated by Syria and Iran is what it takes to see the light, then we stand by the West and Israel in the only hope that an Arab Renaissance in the Levant may actually have a chance of resurrection. Alas, many in the west don't stand with Farid Ghadry. They stand instead with Hamas. Whatever platitudes they mouth, it is clear that they really don't want Israel to survive at all. The moral dividing line in this battle is very clear. Those who stand with Israel are on the side of morality, justice, and civilization. Those in the media and public life who denounce Israel for having the temerity to defend its people are the fellow-travelers of barbarism. Having done so much to embolden and strengthen Hamas and Iran, who are playing them for suckers, they are continuing to stoke the fires of irrational hatred and genocidal hysteria. As Israeli soldiers die, along with the Palestinian victims of Hamas whether as 'collaborators' or human shields, their blood will be on these hypocritical western hands
Result number: 29 Posted by Greg on 1/12/09 at 02:20 I have had this problem a long time. It only occurs when I am sleeping or lasts awhile after I awake and it feels like something in my heel. I never damaged it or see anything weird, but it feels like something alive inside. After I wake up it goes away after awhile and only comes back when I sleep. Sometimes I wake up in the night it gets so bad.
Result number: 30 Posted by Dr. DSW on 12/19/08 at 08:49 I'm confident that there are probably other doctors closer to Washington D.C. that having to drive all the way up to New Jersey. I'm sure if you contact the company you can find a surgeon closer to your home. Additionally, if you perform a 'google' search for cryosurgery you may be able to come up with someone much closer and/or find the company website for a referral. If you ARE going to make the drive all the way up to NJ, I would highly recommend a Dr. Greg Mowen in Ventnor, NJ which would save you a couple of hours driving. It's adjacent to Atlantic City and this way you may be able to also make it a mini-vacation if you've never visited the area. I HIGHLY personally recommend Dr. Mowen.
Result number: 31 Posted by greg b on 11/20/08 at 20:53 thanks for the reply Dr. D. the second one i am going to see did do a foot/ankle fellowship at Emory. I am wondering is it better to get this done at an early stage, or wait until you can't stand the pain. Like when I am just standing, I have no pain, but if I walk any amount it gets really sore. Definitely have the spurs, but am only 43 years old, and am worried about coming out worse than going in. could you advise me of all the questions i need to ask. thanks again for the reply.
Result number: 32 Posted by greg b on 11/20/08 at 14:59 been diagnosed with hallux rigidus. should I be seeing orthopedic surgeon with foot fellowship experience or a podiatrist. Who has had success with this operation
Result number: 33 Posted by greg b on 11/20/08 at 14:57 Okay, I am really nervous about getting this done. Removing the bone spurs. I am going back to the same practice to see the orthopedic surgeon that has done a foot and ankle fellowship also. I know the diagnosis will not change, just looking for him to do the surgery. Is ortho surgeon better to go to than a podiatrist.
Result number: 34 Posted by greg b on 11/19/08 at 10:41 just diagnosed yesterday with hallux rigidus, bone spur on the top of my big toe. went to a general orthopedic surgeon. He talked like it was no big deal, 20 minutes. I like the doctor, but the practice also has a foot and ankle specialist, and I am wondering if I should get another opinion. Don't want to insult my first doctor. These postings have me scared to death about the cheilectomy. 43 year old male.
Result number: 35 Posted by wendyn on 11/04/08 at 23:42 Let me be the first to congratulate all Americans on the selection of their new leader. My mom (just one generation ago!) went to a segregated school in a neighborhood just miles from where Obama spoke tonight. She still talks about the riots and the chaos after JFK and Martin Luther King Jr. were murdered. The democratic process is often painful and difficult, but today is truly a remarkable day.
Result number: 36 Posted by Susan on 10/31/08 at 11:18 http://www.wakeupfromyourslumber.com/node/6065 JOHN McCAIN - THE MOST FLAWED PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE IN HISTORY Thursday, February 28, 2008 9:05 AM Roland C. Eyears It is now clear that what is left of the Republicon Party, after being fatally poisoned by the Bush administration, intents to commit suicide by nominating Senator John McCain (R-Hanoi) for the presidency. Where do I start? THE EARLY YEARS McCain spent his boyhood in exclusive boarding schools where staffers were paid to put up with his tirades. We all did some immature things before we matured. But with McCain, the tirades continue today. Had he not been the son and grandson of admirals, there is scant chance he would have been admitted to the U.S. Naval Academy. Given his behavior patterns and academics, had he not been the son and grandson of admirals, there is little doubt he would have been thrown out. Instead, in 1958 he managed to graduate 894 out of 899. Had he not been the son and grandson of admirals, he is no chance he would have been accepted into the prestigious naval flight training program over far better qualified officers. On his way to becoming a North Vietnamese ace, the aviator lost 3 expensive aircraft on routine, non-combat flights. Little was made of all that, because he was, you know, the son and grandson of admirals. McCain’s most horrendous loss occurred in 1967 on the USS Forrestal. Well, not horrendous for him. The starter motor switch on the A4E Skyhawk allowed fuel to pool in the engine. When the aircraft was “wet-started,” an impressive flame would shoot from the tail. It was one of the ways young hot-shots got their jollies. Investigators and survivors took the position that McCain deliberately wet-started to harass the F4 pilot directly behind him. The cook (I think he meant kook) off launched an M34 Zuni rocket that tore through the Skyhawk’s fuel tank, released a thousand pound bomb, and ignited a fire that killed the pilot plus 167 men. Before the tally of dead and dying was complete, the son and grandson of admirals had been transferred to the USS Oriskany. As a rising naval officer, McCain was surrounded by rumors of numerous adulterous affairs, such as used to be called “conduct unbecoming an officer.” Author and biographer Robert Timberg has detailed several of McCain’s sexual relationships with subordinates when serving as a Squadron Leader and an Executive Officer. I think we all know such behavior is a clear violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, in other words, a crime. When McCain’s application to the National War College was rejected, according to noted author and researcher Joel Skousen, he whined to daddy who pulled strings with the Secretary of the Navy. PRISONER OR HONORED GUEST? McCain’s 5½-year stay at the Hanoi Hilton (officially Hoa Loa Prison) has ever since been the subject of great controversy. He maintains that he was tortured and otherwise badly mistreated. One of many who disagree is Dennis Johnson, imprisoned at Hanoi and never given treatment for his broken leg. He reports that every time he saw McCain, who was generally kept segregated, the man was clean-shaven, dressed in fresh clothes, and appeared comfortable among North Vietnamese Army officers. He adds that he frequently heard McCain’s collaborative statements broadcast over the prison’s loud speakers. On October 26, 1967, McCain’s A-4 Skyhawk was shot down over Hanoi. The fractures of 1 leg and both arms were reportedly due to his failure to tuck them in during ejection. According to U.S. News & World Report (May 14, 1973), McCain didn’t wait long before offering military information in return for medical care. While an extraordinary patient at Gi Lam Hospital, he was visited by a number of dignitaries, including, to quote McCain himself, General Vo Nguyen Giap, the national hero of Dienbienphu. Jack McLamb is a highly respected name in law enforcement circles. After 9 years of clandestine operations in Cambodia and unmentionable areas, he returned home to Phoenix where he became one of the most decorated police officers on record. Twice McLamb was named Officer of the Year. He went on to become an FBI hostage negotiator. This man has stated that every one of the many former POWs he has talked with consider McCain a traitor. States McLamb, “He was never tortured…The Vietnamese Communists called him the Songbird, that’s his code name, Songbird McCain, because he just came into the camp singing and telling them everything they wanted to know.” McLamb further quotes former POWs as saying McCain starred in 32 propaganda videos in which he denounced his country and comrades. The Glavnoje Razvedyvatel’noje Upravlenije is the Soviet’s military intelligence division. Numerous sources confirm that during the Nam Era, the English-speaking Vietnamese who conducted interrogations of American prisoners were always overseen by Russian GRU officers. The ranking GRU officer at the Hanoi Hilton had a multilingual teenage son who was tasked with translating all interrogation reports into Russian. He would become known only as T. According to T who interpreted all interrogations and notes pertaining to McCain during the latter’s stay from December, 1969, to March, 1973, when a well-fed looking McCain’s was released, privileges were extended. These included time at a furnished apartment in Hanoi – furnished with 2 prostitutes. McCain would attribute such absences to solitary confinement. It has been widely reported that following his father’s appointment as CINCPAC Commander-in-Chief of all U.S. forces in the Vietnam theater of operations, McCain was offered an immediate parole. McCain insists that he refused such a preference. Others insist that his father refused to allow such a preference. In any event, such an offer would have required the approval of the Soviet masters, and T would have seen documentation. He has no recollection of such an offer. In 1991 the Soviet Union was in a state of collapse. People and things were up for grabs. During that thaw, a mass document swap took place between the KGB and CIA. All T’s translations were included. If these dots are really connected, it is small wonder that McCain had fought consistently to keep all files sealed, block any attempts to retrieve POWs, and establish the friendliest of relations with his former tormentors. Imagine the possibilities. A Clintonian leak during the presidential campaign. Or, in the unlikely event of a McCain victory, blackmail of the Manchurian Candidate. It is public record that Admiral McCain was on hand to greet his son upon return. According to Major Mark A. Smith (USA Retired), a Green Beret and former POW, a trusted friend of his accompanied the Admiral that day. Later, when the friend referred to that meeting, McCain became enraged, volunteered that he had received “no special treatment,” and then denied that his father was there. In 1989 legislation known as The Truth Bill was introduced in the U.S. House. It required the Department of Defense to publish the names and information on all unaccounted for POWs, MIAs, and KIAs in WW II, the Korean War, and Vietnam. It languished and was resurrected 2 years later. Then came the McCain Bill, promptly enacted, that blocked such information. The DoD does not even have to acknowledge confirmed sightings of live Americans. TEMPER AND TEMPERMENT The senator’s temper and temperament remain in question. His biographer quotes him: “At the smallest provocation I would go off into a mad frenzy, and then suddenly crash to the floor unconscious.” Has he moderated over time? Apparently. Somewhat. Senators who have had McCain scream hyphenated obscenities at them nose-to-nose include Rick Santorum, Richard Shelby, Thad Cochran, and James Inhofe. Most colleagues decline comment. The man has been called psychologically unstable. BIRDS OF A FEATHER? Four years ago McCain loudly defended the glorious hero of the Vietnam War, John Kerry. That would be the young naval officer who hid out in an office until he took command of a river patrol boat for a few weeks. He put in for a purple heart every time he got a scratch or bruise. With 3 of those, he rotated out with the intention of running for public office as a war hero. When Kerry saw the level of anti-war sentiment, he quickly morphed into an anti-war hero running for public office and later married the widow of an extremely wealthy, conservative senator who died under highly suspicious circumstances. Swift Boat Veterans for Truth have not died. Their affiliate is Vietnam Veterans Against John McCain, headed by former Sergeant Ted Sampley, who also serves as vice-president of the half-million member Rolling Thunder Motorcycle Rally. Sampley has spent years working toward the return of Vietnam era MIAs and POWs abandoned by our government (which is invariably the case at a war’s end). McCann has thwarted him at every turn, dismissing 1,600 credible first hand sightings, 14,000 second hand sightings, and countless radio intercepts that supported the observations. In 1991 a Senate Select Committee held hearings on the subject of Vietnam POWs. Tracy Usry, honored Vietnam veteran and former chief investigator for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, testified that American POWs were routinely interrogated by Soviet intelligence officers. Several times, an enraged McCain interrupted, shouting that, “…none of the returned U.S. POWs released by Vietnam was ever interrogated by the Soviets.” He knew better. So apparently did Bui Tin, former Senior Colonel, NVA, who testified that he had been privy to all Soviet documents pertaining to American prisoners. He supported Usry, refuted McCain, and offered his personal records as added proof. In short order, Usry and all participating staff members were fired. Jack Wheeler, Republicon insider and master strategist, attributed that to McCain’s behind-the-scenes pressuring. Add to that McCain’s despicable treatment of families of POWs. Is that based on guilt or is the man simply despicable? A LITTLE HISTORY LESSON In the 1920s, the Bronfman family of Montreal rose to power and wealth based particularly on its Seagrams liquor business, which had as its Prohibition Era partner Meyer Lansky, American Mafia boss. Bootlegging profits were enormous. The family branched into many areas, including media. In recent years, Bronfman acquired a major chunk of Time-Warner. Michael Collins Piper is the author of several books including FINAL JUDGMENT and THE HIGH PRIESTS OF WAR. According to his research, Jack Ruby, Texas nightclub manager and silencer of JFK’s alleged assassin, was a Bronfman asset. Piper identifies Ruby as “a key player” in the smuggling of arms stolen from U.S. military bases to Israel. In the years prior to World War II, the move into Arizona was made. In 1941, Gus Greenbaum of Phoenix started a national wire service for bookies. When he shifted to Las Vegas in 1946 to oversee Meyer Lansky’s casino interests and subsequently replace the infamous, violent Bugsy Siegel, Kemper Marley was appointed crime syndicate boss of Arizona. According to sources within the Marley group, it was Bronfman who put him in the liquor business and enabled him to build a statewide monopoly. In 1948, the feds sent 52 employees to prison for liquor violations. Rumor has it that Marley remained untouched because one of his lieutenants, James Hensley, took the fall and did a dime. Piper reports that Hensley’s attorney and dealmaker was William Rehnquist. Yes, that would be the Chief Justice who later pulled his former girlfriend onto the high court and spent his last decade on the bench hallucinating on drugs. Upon release, Marley gave Hensley one of the biggest Anheuser-Busch distributorships in the country – certainly the biggest in Arizona. Thank you for your faithful service. Then one day in 1981, an obscure, newly retired naval officer rode into the land of sun, cacti, and retirees. After his first wife, who had raised his children and waited for him became crippled in an accident, John McCain had dumped her overboard and married his mistress – Cindy, daughter of James Hensley. The next year the “straight talker” was installed in the U.S. House of Lords. Four years later he moved to the senate. So who owns honest John McCain? The mob that runs Arizona? The big Vegas money that continues to contribute heavily? The Israeli connection? You be the judge. UNDERSTANDING ECONOMICS – WHO NEEDS IT? Not long ago, McCain stated to a journalist that, “Economics isn’t my strong suit.” But, he added, he is reading Greenspan. That would be Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan who, during his tenure, expanded the money supply more than in all the years since 1913. The Greenspan who kept the printing presses running at warp speed, turning out little pieces of paper called money and backed by the promises of politicians. Alan the Inflator fueled the dotcom bubble, the stock market bubble, and more recently the real estate bubble. It is no wonder that the LONDON ECONOMIST recently pegged 2007 true U.S. inflation at 17%. Just what we need – another president who is an economic illiterate. It’s small consolation that McCain admits it, because if elected, he’d appoint the wrong advisors. MCCAIN VERSUS THE CONSTITUTION McCain, also known as senator hyphen around D.C., frequently partners with members of the far left. The McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance Reform Bill was an obvious, full-frontal attack on the First Amendment – perhaps the most blatant since the Sedition Act 200 years previous. Specifically, it outlawed the most protected of free speech, political descent. This alone should be a deal breaker. Anyone voting for the bill should have been impeached and removed from office. George Bush, when he broke another of his pledges and signed the odious legislation, said he had problems with it but that the Supreme Court might very possibly strike down parts. Apparently, his thinking was (1) this is bad law, but why should I worry, and (2) I don’t need to do my job because somebody down the line might do it for me. Accordingly, it is entirely logical that radio talk show hosts are in strong opposition to McCain. They understand how much he hates free speech, and they don’t want to see a return to the deceptively named Fairness Doctrine that used to force broadcasters to devote matching time to the promotion of liberal views to balance conservative. At the core is the liberals’ fear of exposure to the marketplace of ideas and free discourse. To them, it is not enough that you have a dial and an opposed thumb. If we’re going to have a Fairness Doctrine, let’s carry it all the way out. For every 80 anti-gun news stories, I want to see 80 (easy to find) pro-gun stories. Not 1. For every male bashing commercial, mandate one female bashing. Let’s limit the number of black players on college and NBA teams to 12½ percent, reflective of the population. Et cetera. McCain also works to destroy the Second Amendment. John McCain does not trust you with a firearm, regardless of the plain words of the Constitution. He would bar you from defending yourself from marauders and certainly from an out-of-control government. The Gun Owners of America rates McCain F minus. Although the National Rifle Association is far softer in defending gun rights, its president has termed McCain the “worst Second Amendment candidate.” Example: McCain sponsored an amendment to S. 1805 that would destroy gun shows by outlawing private gun sales at such events, although they have been proven to not be a significant source of criminals’ weapons. A next step would be the outlawing of private transfers. A father would be unable to pass down a family treasure without government blessing. The unconstitutionality of all this is of no importance to the senator and his ilk. Check his record. This alone should be another deal breaker. Just about everybody loves a maverick, right? Spirit of America and all that. We often impute a certain sense of integrity to someone who turns on his own. Is the senator from Hanoi really a maverick? Sure, but from what? Honor? Duty? The Constitution he works so hard to make irrelevant? But as a career politician and long-time member of the Council on Foreign Relations, McCain is also a one- worlder and a senior insider. CAMPAIGN FINANCE I’m sure the sponsor of the so-called Campaign Finance Reform Bill wouldn’t mind if we took a cursory look at his donors. They include the sinister international currency manipulator George Soros, JP Morgan Chase & Company, Citigroup, Goldman Sachs, and Lehman Brothers. In other words, McCain is backed by most of the usual suspects who back “the competition.” According to WorldNetDaily, since 2001, this candidate has receiving funding via the Reform Institute of Alexandria, Virginia, founded to launder money from George Soro’s Open Society Institute and Theresa Heinz Kerry’s Tides Foundation. Let’s just know who owns whom. All this only makes sense. The senator is a long-time member of the Council on Foreign Relations, a one-worlder, an ultimate insider. Funding scandals? Sure. We have them too. Does anybody remember the Keating Five debacle from 1987 that cost depositors and taxpayers $160 million? Charles Keating owned American Continental Corporation and its subsidiary Lincoln Savings & Loan. Facing multiple federal indictments, he called on the recipients of his largesse – Senators Alan Cranston, John Glenn, Don Riegle, and from the great State of Arizona Dennis DeConsini and John McCain. Strings were pulled, but, in the end, Keating was convicted. In 1991, the Senate Ethics Committee (I know, such an oxymoron) ruled that McCain hadn’t quite done anything illegal. But by his own standards he was corrupt. D.C. FOLLIES Recently, the New York Times ran a piece suggesting that McCain may have had an affair with lobbyist Vicki Iseman that went back 8 years. Ms. Iseman is a partner in Alcalde & Fay, who represent Carnival Lines, several broadcasters, and municipalities. The Times, along with Drudge and the Washington Post, had been sitting on the story for some weeks. The allegations are unproven, and, the senator has exhibited extraordinary self-control when denying them. I can only say that he has a history of this type of Clintonian behavior, both in the military and, admittedly, during his first marriage. Apparently it is acceptable anymore. In any case, I question whether the Times should have run with this. Influence peddling? Sure, McCain rode Lowell Paxson’s jet several times. It would be asking a lot of a high-profile senator to walk through a crowded airport and climb on a commercial flight. Maybe he wrote Paxson checks at the commercial fare rate. He did accept $100,000 donation from Alcalde & Fay. And he did write 2 letters recommending that the FCC approve Paxson’s purchase of a Pittsburgh TV station. Only two? Lobbyists lobby. I don’t have any finger to point here. THE GREAT CONSERVATIVE Taking a page from Bill Clinton’s Attorney General, McCain has called Christian leaders “agents of intolerance.” McCain often crosses the aisle to block the confirmation of conservative judges with strict construction leanings. His record on taxes is clear; he likes them. Senator hyphen has co-sponsored ill conceived legislation that would boost gasoline prices by more than half a dollar a gallon. And he supports radical global warming measures that would significantly disadvantage the U.S. COME ON UP. HERE’S A CHECK. Teaming again with Teddy Kennedy, at al, the senator from Hanoi sponsored an amnesty bill for illegal aliens. A top aide, Juan Hernandez previously held a cabinet level position with ex-president of Mexico Vincente Fox. This dual citizen is on record as favoring “Mexico First.” McCain supports open borders. Well, until he caught sight of the prize. These days he’s auto-phoning into Ohio, promising that “first I’ll close the borders.” He’d still like to see Social Security money paid to the sneak-ins. Another deal breaker? DISCLAIMERS AND CONCLUSIONS The presidential frontrunners have a curious commonality. Not one has any significant administrative history. None has headed a company, none has managed an organization, and none has ever had to meet a payroll. Their experience has been totally devoted to throwing other people’s money at problems they created (often for that very purpose), and they’ve run nothing but their mouths. Seriously, if you owned a large business enterprise, is there any chance that you would pick one of the candidates to manage it? As for the illegal, immoral war in which we are engaged, Obama is clean, Hillary is implicated, and McCain says he’s fine with another hundred years. Personalities aside, I’m not certain how much difference it makes. McCain has essentially endorsed Hillary. According to him, “She has integrity,” and “I have no doubt that she would be a good president.” He likes, really likes the woman, and says, “I think she’s a very good person.” Meanwhile, Barack Hussein Obama’s policies differ not one whit from Hillary’s. So that’s a popularity contest. Then there is the matter of the label. In his way, George Bush has done to the Republicon Party what Bill Clinton did to the Democrat Party in his way. In the last congressional race, the Rs did poorly; yet their D replacements have fixed nothing. The congress’s approval rating is 22 percent. As the legatee of Bush, what does baggage does McCain bear? Here are just a few bags: unrestrained spending, huge trade deficits, illegal wars of aggression, empire building beyond our capacity, abandonment of our fallen veterans, war crimes, the elimination of civil liberties with war as a pretext, the death of habeas corpus, favoring Israel over the U.S., the stock bubble, the real estate bubble, collapsing home values, permanent core job losses, true 10 percent inflation, debasement of the currency (They won’t even publish M3 numbers anymore.), torture of prisoners (On October 6, 2006, McCain voted to exempt the CIA from restrictions.), prisoner rendition, deconstruction of the Constitution, opening our borders to everybody and anybody, violations of separation of powers, corruption, and incredible incompetence. I could go on. My question: Is the Republicon nomination worth more than 15 cents? Even if McCain puts nominal Democrat Joe Lieberman on his ticket to demonstrate bi-partisanship and pull in Dems and Independents? Are you a genuine social conservative? Do you believe in our wonderful Constitution? Are you opposed the Iraq War and its precursor strategies that have killed hundreds of thousands of innocents? Are you fiscally responsible? Do you truly understand the principles of republicanism? Do you believe in marital fidelity? Are you a supporter of free speech? I submit that if your answer to any of these questions is yes, you cannot vote for John McCain and retain your integrity. The lesser of 2 or 3 evils is still evil. In this case, not by a measurable amount. The party of Ronald Reagan left me years ago. America’s bright beacon of hope, so loved by much of the world for over 200 years, is being reduced to a faint glow in the eyes of the true believers. We have had some incredibly unqualified and inept people run for and sometimes win the top job. But John McCain must be the most flawed and compromised candidate in our nation’s history.
Result number: 37 Posted by john h on 10/08/08 at 13:54 The name calling on this issue no longer makes this a worth while discussion. Nothing is to be learned from these post except hate. The post have grown so egregious about McCain and Paulin that there is no reason to continue for me. One would think these two people are from hell itself. The board on this subject has turned into a Democratic forum of hate. We probably only have 4 or 5 Republicans on here and I am beginning to see less and less of there post. I noted that a recent visitor made a comment 'that this was a nice board if you were a Democrat'. That sort of says it all. Maybe when the election is over we can have some sensible intelligent discussions with out all of the hate. Other wise this Political board will only be Democrats who all think alike with no one to listen except themselves and no one to express other viewpoints. Maybe that is what you want. I do not know. I have always found that discussions with people with different view points to be enlightening. However, this board has jumped over the line of reason and courtesy. I think Scott probably knew that when he created it. Politics and religion are subjects that often end just like this one. It takes a special group of people to discuss these subjects with out the discussion turning into rancor. We are not that special group. I will still be around but will be less engaged. It seems obvious your candidates will win so why all the hateful post? How do you hate someone you have never met like Paulin and McCain? I do not hate Obama or his running mate. I might disagree with them on certain issues and agree with them on others but hate them? Hardly. As a military officer I always respected my Commander in Chief no matter who he was or what his party affiliation was. If he said go to war then I went to war no questions asked. That was my sworn duty that I lived by for over 20 years of various Presidents. Happy days people.
Result number: 38 Posted by Dr. DSW on 10/06/08 at 16:37 Yes, the decompression procedure can still be performed if cryosurgery did not resolve your symptoms. But once again, I would not rule out having the alcohol injections, since my patients have had significant success with this method. I do not personally know of any cryosurgeons in the geographic area you mention. The only cryosurgeon I 'personally' know is Dr. Greg Mowen in New Jersey. I have complete confidence in him and would highly recommend him without reservation. Dr. Randy Nordyke also posts on this site from time to time and is very experienced in cryosurgery, and I believe practices in California.
Result number: 39 Posted by Dr. DSW on 10/04/08 at 08:44 There are so many issues with this election, that I hadn't REALLY made a decision. I can honestly state that I have absolutely zero racial bias, and I raised my children to have no racial bias. However, I questioned the judgment of Obama, who was raised by a white mother and white grand-mother, yet decided to attend a relatively 'racial' black church for many years, with an obviously racist leader of the church. Why did he choose to isolate himself, his wife/family and segregate himself from a more diverse congregation? And once his pastor started flying off the handle about the evil white man, it bothers me that he never had the good judgment to decide it was time for him to take his family to another house of worship, UNTIL the media brought it to the public. Seems like poor judgment and a mystery to me, why a man that was raised by white folks, would isolate himself to a basically segregated congregation. Poor choice/decision, that makes me wonder why he made that choice and never left until the media attention. On the other hand, Palin simply amazes me. Even prior to the Saturday Night Live skits making fun of her, SHE herself seems like an SNL character or the exact type of person they would satire PRIOR to her even being in the picture. From her appearance, to her accent, to her good-two-shoes/I'll be darn comments, she comes across with no credibility and even less intelligence in my opinion. Less, she can spit out facts that were drilled into her head, and she can certainly avoid answering EVERY question that was asked. And it's obvious that she knows little if anything about politics or history. I'd definitely vote for her to be den mom for the local boy scouts or team mom for my son's soccer team, but are you REALLY prepared to have this person be our head of state if McCain unfortunately would pass away while in office?? Come on and be honest and realistic. She's clueless and would simply serve as a puppet for whoever was pulling her strings. And Tim above was 100% correct. It turned my stomach that a VP candidate actually WINKED at the audience/camera during a debate. Are you kidding me? I know Dr. W, you think she was winking at YOU!!!
Result number: 40 Posted by marie:) on 10/03/08 at 15:51 If you have been coming to this board on a regular basis you will know that I have long predicted the crisis in the auto industry, unemployment rates, foreclosures and economic downturn will determine this election. That bird's eye view was an ez call. After McCain left a GM plant in Grand Rapids the employees yelled 'Obama 08' until he was out the door. People just do not get how bad it is in Michigan and the rest of the rust belt. The battle is there and until McCain figures out how to reach out to this section of the country he may have to concede the rest of the Midwest. Will adding more advertising do it? I don't think so. Some suggestions. 1. Jobs, 2.) Don't tax their healthcare plans, 3.) Give tax breaks to the struggling middle class, 4.) Set aside research funds for Michigan's universities in alternative fuels, 5.) offer the automotive industry additional funds to retool their factories. http://www.reuters.com/article/joeBiden/idUSTRE49276O20081003?pageNumber=2&virtualBrandChannel=10112 Recent polls show McCain in a dogfight in Ohio, Florida, Virginia, North Carolina, Colorado, Missouri and Indiana. All were won by Bush in 2004 and McCain cannot afford to lose them as he tries to piece together the 270 electoral votes needed to capture the White House. Obama has a double-digit lead in two recent polls in that state,(MI) home to the automotive industry and a distressed manufacturing-based economy. 'If we see a swing back in our favor, we'll go reengage,' McCain adviser Greg Strimple said.
Result number: 41 Posted by Richard on 9/15/08 at 14:28 Thanks Dr DSW, Indeed Dr. Gregory did advise arthrodiastis in concert with the Cheilectomy. We did have a long talk about it and I came away with the impression that it is a fairly new procedure with a short track record which scared me off (though he specializes in the procedure). Can you point me to any sources of information on the subject which may be helpful? Thank you, Rich
Result number: 42 Posted by Dr. Wedemeyer on 7/14/08 at 18:52 I know this question is for Jeremy but I feel that this is such an egregious clinical error that my comment is justified. You NEVER place an orthotic lift INTO the side of the scoliotic convexity, which is precisely what they did in your case. To illustrate: ( <--- this diagram represents a left or levorotary lumbar curve,convex to the left viewing the patient from behind. Placing a right lift into the convexity is a rx for further insult to the lumbar vertebrae and the hemipelvis. The right compensatory LLI is probably a compensation that can be manipulated with good results depending on your age and severity of your scoliosis. Also with a 1/2 LLI I would use a 1/4' lift initially.
Result number: 43 Posted by Axiom Victim on 5/24/08 at 19:40 'Oma Z offers clarity,' you are deluded. The only reason anyone's concerned about your obvious ties to Co$ is the continuing reign of ruin of all things chiropractic and anything else you and your corrupt 'congregation' collude, conspire and suck the life out of. You have happily and greedily destroyed your market by consistently traveling the low road. Singer, Prescott, your boy Exarhos, Sterling, and your other hellbound buddies have dealt significant blows to the reputation of chiropractic. Tell us all the lowest common denominator if its not your 'religion.' You know exactly why there is concern. If you don't, your an idiot.
Result number: 44 Posted by marie:) on 5/15/08 at 15:04 I think Republicans need to take Gingrich a little more seriously. Democrats are setting up for 08 they way they did 06. By pushing conservative Democratic candidates in Republican strong holds they are going to win. People are fed up and Republicans are still in denial. The hate talk and the innuendos towards their fellow countrymen is not working any more. Hurray for the UNITED States of America! Nothing is definate but I do believe there is a trend. ;) http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20080514/pl_afp/usvotecongress_080514040306 The special election won by Democratic candidate Travis Childers, was the third recent loss of a 'safe' seat for Republicans, suggesting the party could be heading for trouble in November's congressional elections. Childers beat Republican rival Greg Davis in the state's first congressional district, traditionally one of the safest Republican seats in the country, which voted overwhelmingly for Bush in 2004. The result, which stretched the Democratic majority in the House of Representatives to 37, was also good news for Democrat Barack Obama, who went down to his own big loss to Hillary Clinton in Tuesday's Democratic primary in West Virginia.
Result number: 45 Posted by Oma Z on 5/15/08 at 00:35 They're just trying to prove they are not scientologists. I'm of the opinion that they are. One of the owners and my husband (ex-Axiom Western Region Manager) had discussions on it and Greg would bring home pamphlets to try and understand it. I guess you can be both Greek Orthodox and Scientologist.

Hoang on 5/09/08 at 18:34 Hi Oma Z, Unless something happened that I am unaware of, I should still be...but it seems the people on this board knows more about what is going on then I do. I'm not on here to discuss my case, I just find it amusing that Gary Dixon would come onto a message board/forum to try and defend Axiom. I guess I joined the party late, because it looks like Gary hasn't posted lately. Oma Z, are you Greg's wife? Tony L. Hoang
Result number: 47 Posted by Dr. Wedemeyer on 4/23/08 at 17:20 Gary, The shoe is not on the other foot and no amount of rhetoric or semantics will allow you to turn this discussion around in your favor. Why is it that this one question evoked such a dramatic response from you? You have denied any knowledge of any association between your company and Scientology, so why the very aggressive response? I have no stated interest in questioning anyone’s beliefs (be they faith based or otherwise and neither should you) on a personal level, but I do have a concern about that particular group and their involvement in marketing to my profession. I want to state that this is not about questioning anyone one person or company as a whole’s beliefs, but their paradigm in avarice that is not based on objective clinically necessary chiropractic care. I am very familiar with Scientology and their involvement in practice management for doctors. It is my personal opinion that it is not a paradigm that I want any involvement with, therefore I have asked you that question and you have answered. It is not solely as a consequence of your company’s choice of name that I asked that question, but the nature of the marketing and rumors within the chiropractic community that urged me to do so. Please let me know when I am “off the hook” so that we can get down to business. Please do not mistake my criticism of your marketing as a blanket statement concerning mechanical traction. I have not ever questioned the practices of any other company that offers these machines, only yours Gary. You cannot twist my words into your designs. Perhaps these hard questions are making you uncomfortable and that is why you are reacting in the manner that you are. You prefer the terminology “spinal decompression” but again, semantics. I perform traction in my office and in some cases find it very helpful. I bill the appropriate CPT code for mechanical traction and charge the appropriate fee. I am in the business of helping patients to get well and of course I do promote my business. I am very professional and cautious in the manner in which I do so. If I were to offer them a new device that claims a success rate (and correct me if I am wrong) that is at 86% for certain spinal conditions (herniated/ruptured discs, degenerative disc disease and facet syndrome) and that costs upwards of $100K to purchase, I would certainly invest my due diligence in validating the clinical efficacy of that machine and the ethics of the company selling it. I believe that you would as well too, as would any reasonable person reading this. Your ads in the past alluded that your device was produced based on a relationship with NASA (and their studies on low back pain in a weightless environment) which provided the impetus for your own proprietary clinical trials (I believe that was the Gionis’ authored study). This is precisely the type of advertising that led to the Oregon Attorney General and the Oregon Chiropractic Board to investigate some of Axiom’s marketing claims. Axiom later recanted and began to advertise that you have instead a relationship with a machine oil manufacturer whose product is used on NASA spacecraft as well as inside your machine parts. I have noticed that this landmark study is no longer available on your website, nor does it appear to be used in your marketing campaign. This study provides very compelling evidence that “spinal decompression” is 86% effective for the treatment of the above referenced conditions and yet I cannot find it anywhere on your website today. Could you comment on why? If I could claim 86% effectiveness in treating those conditions you bet your life I would advertise that in primacy! Axiom Worldwide used to send my office the occasional mailer claiming to have FDA clearance on the DRX 9000 prior to the letter on your website devoted to product clearances. In fact if you take the time to actually read the clearances (dated May 9, 2006) and I quote from the FDA: “We have received your 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications of use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976…..please be advised that FDA’s issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any other Federal statutes …” I’m no great legal mind Gary but didn’t you begin telling my profession and the public PRIOR to the date of this letter that you indeed had FDA clearance for the DRX9000? Pease enlighten me. I found the same trouble with your assertions regarding patents on the machine and the Logarithmic Curve. I did find patents filed dated June and December, 2006. Would any reasonable person or business with the next great invention flood the market with their device PRIOR to patenting the technology and risk industrial theft of their idea? You did trademark the name of the machine in June of 2004. It is not logical to follow that Axiom Worldwide applied for a patent on their proprietary device until a full two years AFTER they trademarked their name. How on earth did this egregious error occur? Coincidentally, surrounding all of the lawsuits and mystery that surround the “spinal decompression” trend, your logistical record does not match up to claims that you have made in the past. I know doctors from several disciplines who have all expressed the same concerns regarding the business practices surrounding YOUR marketing of these devices. Apparently your competitor has litigated and defeated you in court for these practices (so please spare me the angle theory here. No one in their right mind would post this on their commercial website without it being fact): http://www.namcorporation.com/pdfs/Press%20Release%20Rebuttal%20v4%20(3).pdf http://www.namcorporation.com/pdfs/AppealPressRelease.pdf http://www.namcorporation.com/pdfs/federalcourt.pdf So then what is the truth Gary? Axiom Worldwide claims no wrongdoing with regard to the patents, clearance, marketing and procedural terminology codes suggested to bill for their device and yet there is a tome of evidence against them that says distinctly otherwise. “What have we done wrong” just does not cut it anymore. Soon the really nasty court battles will be concluded and if you are proven innocent of any wrongdoing or deception, then I will at that time make a public apology. I would hope that your company is willing to act in kind and to stem the flow of blood from the negative image that I feel that Axiom has contributed to in regard to my profession, and, to the patient’s who I feel we are obligated to present valid treatments and factual outcome scenarios to. No one wins when a segment of providers begins to market fatuous claims at profligate fees and they do not deliver on those claims.
Result number: 48 Posted by Dr. B on 4/12/08 at 07:59 I've reviewed the lawsuit paper posted. I am aware of 95% of those named in this document. Here's a little insight. Greg Westphal has been trying to push the sales of VAXD for the past 3 years now. They have gone nowhere. His wife publishes a decompression brochure under the name MediaWest. Interesting that in their brochure they use images of the DRX. They don't show the tower but the person laying a table surface with belts and knee bolster. Lets just say I am very familiar with this table so I know the picture in their brochure is in fact a DRX. Secondly I know first hand the Mr. Westphal has on multiple occassions been involved with the sale of used DRX machines to numerous doctors and clinics. In Dec of 2004 I visited Axiom for their seminar/sales presentation. I was never told that insurance would cover the treatment. Nor was I told to bill insurance and medicare. They did state that the DRX was FDA Approved and did show a video of the space shuttle. Can't recall at that time if they stated that NASA had a direct involvement with the development or not. I did not purchase these machines because of the NASA hype. I did my research and new that wasn't the case. This technology has helped hundreds of my patients. Has it miraculously cured 100% of my patients....NO! 95% of my patients are totally satisified with their experience in my clinic. You can't please everyone. But certainly I go above and beyond to give each and every patient the best opportunity to facilitate in their healing and regain their physical freedom. I'm not defending Axiom only stating the facts of what I know about this guy. Take it for what its worth. I have no problems with the equipment. Not 100% satisfied with Axioms service but the product is in my opinion great!
Result number: 49 Posted by GregL on 4/07/08 at 18:39 I had subtalor joint fusion Jan,16 2008 my joint was crack the Doctor put two screws thru the heel to the joint to make it fuse. also cleaned out the foot . the foot and ankle had snyovitis the Doctor cleaned that stuff up. I do have arthritis in the ankle and also in my knee. I was just wondering how long did it take you to recover or feel a little normal without to much pain walking around. I'm 53 and had the same problem as you before surgery meaning pain!! at this time the Doctor will have me start therapy I will start next week. also did your leg bother you when you were trying to walk again.
Result number: 50 Posted by john h on 3/21/08 at 10:22 I think Obama listening to this Minister for 20 years goes to his character Marie. I would walk out instantly on any church who had a Minister who on a regular basis gave sermons with such hate. This Minister is clearly a hate monger and racist. Obama not only listened to him but was his friend and spiritual adviser up until this thing broke on the news. Now the Minister is said to be in hiding in Africa? Obama is not responsible for what this man said but that is not good enough. He should have walked out and denounced him from day one. People are not going to forget this. I was supporting Obama over Hillary until this all begin but I am not solidly against Obama and hope Hillary wins the nomination (which is unlikely due to the numbers). This was a solid blow against the Democrats and you do not hear a lot of support for Obama from the Congress on this issue. Yes the usual suspects and hardcore left wingers are out there trying to distance Obama but this just does not go away quietly into the night. Watching people being interviewed on TV this weekend who are members of the church all said they fully supported the Minister and 'everything' he said. Why would Obama sit in church every week for 20 years with a minister and congregation who thought like this? Was he the only one that did not think like this?
Result number: 51 Posted by Greg G on 3/07/08 at 11:28 I think I have the same problem and it does help to hit the stepping machine. I ran 4 miles and did not use the stepper afterwards and later I had severe pain in the heel and bottom of my left foot. 3 day's later I did some biking, running and walking on a treadmill and ran 1 mile on an door track then I used the stepper for about 10 minutes and then soaked in cold water and the put ice cubes in it. there was very little pain the next day so I am still trying to come up with a cure or atleast be able to run and etc. with this foot thing. I plan to get some foot levelers and some physical therapy because this has been going on for 1 year but the stepper may be the key..so far anyway it looks promising ? Hope this helps.
Result number: 52 Posted by marie:) on 2/14/08 at 16:34 OMG you don't know who Cornel West is???? Have you heard of the 'Million Man March'? Trust me Jackson and Sharpton very much look up to him. He is a very famous philosopher to the African American Community. He was the first to openly criticize gangsterization of Black America. Bill Cosby was so moved by his philosophy he spoke out about it.  http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0922002/ Here is his lecture at Brown University on MLK day Feb. 2nd. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpbI9K6H_hs http://instruct1.cit.cornell.edu/courses/dsoc375/studentproj/DSOC375%20Projects/Gangsta%20Rap1.htm Author Cornel West argues that the most basic threat to Black America is the nihilistic threat to its very existence (West, 12). Until the early 1970s Black Americans had the lowest suicide rate in America; however, today young Black people lead the nation in suicides. One is lead to ask what has changed? What went wrong? One factor that has changed is Black leadership. Although the “hip-hop generation” escaped a time in American history where Blacks and Whites were segregated by the law, they missed the peace and wisdom preached by leader Martin Luther King Jr. and others during the Civil Rights era. The leaders that the hip-hop generation hears and sees are the hip-hop artists (gangsta rappers included) themselves. Gangsta rap and its early focus on murder and mayhem made sense; “it emerged in an era where young Black men were known as endangered species.” However, today, violence and crime in Black communities has declined, but the lyrics of gangsta rap show nothing of this progress (Smiley). Music is a powerful means by which one can convey a message and the message that gangsta leaders send to young America is one that says it’s O.K. to degrade women (surely a nihilism from within) and homosexuals and guns and violence are a way to solve problems. This message in turn perpetuates the stereotypes (stereotypes that Civil Rights generation fought to eliminate) that all Blacks are abusive towards women, violent, and carry guns.
Result number: 53 Posted by Dr. Ed on 1/27/08 at 10:09 Tim: Hillary's plan was hardly something that could be called 'socialized' medicine. I disagree that it went down for that reason. Hillary's plan was a massive handout to the five largest health insurance carriers in the US which would have, in concert with government divided up the US into regions. It was a marriage of big government and big business. I know many liberals who opposed the plan for just that reason. The bottom line is that only a small percentage of the healthcare dollar actually goes for patient care in the US. It is my understanding that the total overhead in the Canadian system is only 3%. I have not seen the same figures in the US but I would estimate it at 60%+. We are a nation of middlemen with too many dollars being siphoned off before they reach their intended purpose. Additionally, Medicare, for example, is highly politicized. Like the IRS, its regulations tend to be based the results of lobbying by special interests. I could site many examples of how Medicare literally throws away billions to special interest groups. One example in point is that Medicare will not reimburse me for the cost of doing many minor procedures in the office thereby requiring that I do the cases at a surgicenter or hospital at more than 400% of the cost. The hospital lobby? Another egregious area of waste comes from the DMERC, the potion of Medicare that reimburses for durable medical equipment. For years, Medicare has allowed almost anyone to obtain a DMERC number and bill Medicare -- absolutely no qualifications. Podiatrists provide special protective shoegear to diabetics with poor circulation or numbness. It has been shown that that service lowers the amputation rate significantly. Podiatrists only provide 30% of such shoes. There are literally people operating out of their cars hocking such shoes by soliciting seniors door to door. Such individuals have no idea what those patients need, no knowledge of potential pathology but continue to do so for years with the blessing of Medicare. Of course, when the patients finally get to the office we have to tell them that their benefits have already been used up for the year. Examples of medical devices reimburseable under DMERC in which manufacturers have worked out 'sweet deals' for reimbursement from Medicare is very long. Ed
Result number: 54 Posted by john h on 1/14/08 at 19:05 Race is still an issue in all states not just the south. As a matter of fact having grown up in Chicago I found race to be a bigger issue there than in North Carolina where I had moved from. Certainly race problems still exist but by no means like in the 50's and 60's. We are eons away from those days. It is not just blacks who are discriminated against. It depends on where you are. Along the border towns or any area where there are large groups of people congregating in their own neighborhoods by race. Does anyone ever see in our lifetime a world with no racism? I doubt it. The Jews and Muslims have been fighting since before the death of Christ. Northern Ireland and he English fought for a thousand years. I found in my own days in Japan as an American White I was not very welcome into the homes of many Japanese. Obama Bin Laden said it is the duty of every Muslim to kill all non Muslims. Compared to what racism exist in the U.S. it is miniscule compared to Muslin racism. There are also Black Racism groups. This is no one sided affair. The first large group to be fully intregated was the military and it was done successfuly by I think Harry Truman. I recall my first Commander as a 2nd Lt. He was a Black Major named Chappie James. He later became a 4 Star General. That was the early 50's and we thought of him as the Commander not the Black Commander. He also acted like the Commander.

Result number: 56 Posted by gregnrox on 1/08/08 at 23:50 I am very sorry your Baxter's nerve release surgery didn't work. Did you have complications following surgery? Did you have a lot of scarring? Does anyone on this site know of any TTS release+PF release surgery that worked out well? Many studies show high success rates for this. We are trying to answer this question: what are the factors for success? For failure? We know there are many variables--the diagnosis, surgery and post-op recovery must all go well for the probability of success to be high. Are there other issues? We are asking all these questions because we (i.e. my wife) is scheduled for TTS + PF release surgery following 3 years of ongoing pain after a severe ankle sprain, with no help from every other type of conservative treatment. While the pain is barely tolerable (some days it is intolerable) the surgery doesn't seem all that appealing either. Thanks for any replies. Surgery is 1 week from Thursday.
Result number: 57 Posted by Dr. DSW on 12/31/07 at 13:04 As I previously stated, there is a Dr. Robert Cohen, that practices in Philadelphia, and I believe he actually has a 'link' to his website on the upper right hand corner of THIS page!! However, I still have full confidence in Dr. Greg Mowen in Ventnor. Even though Dr. Mowen may not participate with your insurance plan, you still may be able to see him as an 'out of network provider'. It would simply mean that you would have a deductible and that you would get paid instead of the doctor. I have personally witnessed his work and skills and would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Mowen. However, Dr. Cohen in Philadelphia also seems highly qualified, so you may want to give his office a call.
Result number: 58 Posted by Christiaan J on 12/26/07 at 11:50 If you look through various complaints and articles around the web you will find that many to most of orthotic devices being sold on tv or through the 'good feet' store are big scams. In Wisconsin there is a class action suit against the store because they refuse to refund anyone's money, and it is their eggregious policy to do so. I wouldn't trust these guys any more than idiots like Kevin Trudeau. Never buy from an infomercial no matter how good it seems.
Result number: 59 Posted by B.943 Rice on 12/16/07 at 02:36 Paid$500 for a set of orthotics from my podiatrist. He takes a plaster cast of your foot, each foot, sends them out to a lab for the final hard plastic orthotic and then asks you to break them in gently by wearing them only one hour the first day and adding an hour each day until you are wearing them full time. They feel great with a memory in the leather like uppers that remembers where you have a callous or bump that lets the orthotic leave a space to accomodate you from then on. He says you never could get the same impression from a foot dropped into a foam box as he made a top mould of my foot and was ablet to show how my foot reacted and was shaped when no weight was placed on it, not possible in the foot dropped into a foam box trick used by most doctors and pethortists, 'the cheao method', as he calls it, which he says will not give you the results he promises for his bill.He guarantees his products for life .

Result number: 60 Posted by Dr. DSW on 12/14/07 at 10:13 Len, I happen to live in Camden County/South Jersey but do not solicit patients from this site, since I believe it's a conflict of interest. Since you live so close to Philadelphia, there is a Dr. Robert Cohen with an office in Philadelphia that also performs cryosurgery for neuromas and other similar conditions. Although, I would HIGHLY recommend a trip down to Ventnor to Dr. Greg Mowen (DR. 'G') on this website. I know him personally and have witnessed his work and skills. He has a practice specializing in nerve disorders and performs cryosurgery. He's a skilled practitioner and a great guy, and Ventnor is a quick ride from Camden County. He'd definitely be my top choice.
Result number: 61 Posted by larrym on 12/12/07 at 20:31 They are not right near you but I would look up Greg Pomeroy MD, he understands cavus deformity and its complications. He has a foot/ankle fellowship and he is kind of in your neck of the woods. As for your other questions about peroneals, usually you will never see a peroneal issue in a pronator. They usually get post tib tendon problems. The few times you see a pronator with a peroneal is usually from an inversion event of some type i.e. stepping in a hole or slipping off a curb In cavus you see peroneal splits, tears, subluxations to name a few. I cant speak for Dr Pomeroy as to what he would or wouldnt do but he is a very good surgeon. Her is a link to his info that i just looked up http://www.pofac.com/about/bio.php?ID=1035
Result number: 62 Posted by Dr. Wedemeyer on 11/27/07 at 23:58 I live in an exotic place like California and eat Belgian waffles! I submit that much of what was presented at the conference validates what the other 99% of us delivering orthotic services already know and see daily in our practices. A well designed orthosis is manufactured from a variety of materials depending on the anatomy of the patient, natural history, gait and biomechanical and surgical concerens. It reinforces that what we are performing is in line with the current thinking in orthotic treatment. Orthotic theory will continue to evolve in small increments but if you realize that researchers, doctors and providers all over the world congregating in one place can share ideas and agree on the standards of care, as they did at the conference, that we actually know a great deal already. I find comfort in that. Hopefully some of the research currently underway will aid us in providing an even higher level of care in the future.
Result number: 63 Posted by Dottie on 11/22/07 at 16:37 HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO MY FELLOW FOOT FRIENDS! I loved the comment 'concrete is our enemy' because I have this dream that heaven consists of white chocolate cheesecake and triple padded plush carpeting! Yesterday it rained here and I was in so much pain in my surgical foot. Today I'm experiencing tingling and a feeling like something is crawling inside my foot. This morning when I woke up I thought I couldn't tell the difference between the pain in the two feet. They feel so hot....it is beyond annoying. I am pretty sure I do not have 'restless leg syndrome' but I do really want to move the feet around to try to calm the tingling & weirdness in them. ARGH!!!! I feel blessed that I recovered well from the surgery but I don't know if it was the answer I've been seeking to STOP THE PAIN. The doctor & my therapist tell me how 'wonderful' my scar looks. How ridiculous is that? I don't bloody care how the scar looks. I want to walk like regular people again. Bla. Sometimes I think I should quote that line by Greg Kinnear in the movie 'As Good As It Gets' and say 'I'm tired of hearing my own complaints' or something like that. It is frustrating but I my mobility is improving with the therapy so I guess I must be patient. It certainly is maddning!
Result number: 64 Posted by Dr. Wedemeyer on 10/30/07 at 01:02 Interesting John. From what I understand they do always require a current MRI, so if this is a new theme in advertising, it is an egregious error in ethics. A lot of these machines are up for sale and the providers who saw this as a fast buck will eventually be weeded out; if they don't completely ruin the reputation of the treatment first with shenanigans like this.
Result number: 65 Posted by Dr. Wedemeyer on 10/25/07 at 17:18 Julie B hello and point well taken. You'll rarely see me respond to a person trying to provoke me but when someone pokes fun at an entire profession or the the plight of the people and tragic events in my own backyard; I feel justified in calling that cretin out. There is a time to fight and a time to retreat. If some people didn't when necessary stand up for what is right, we would never have been a nation, ended slavery and segregation and fought and won the oppression and inhumanity of two world wars. This obviously is not the same but the disturbing themes being posted by this slovenly cur deserve at least one good retort.

Result number: 69 Posted by Dr. David S. Wander on 9/13/07 at 07:54 I'm not sure if you should be 'overly' concerned, but naturally if there are any symptoms it is always cause for some concern. As Dr. 'G' (Dr. Greg Mowen) on this site has stated many times, IF there is a nerve related problem, it is much more treatable, and results are much greater if treated in the early stages, especially when considering surgical outcomes. Naturally, I'm not recommending that you need surgery, but as a general rule, especially with tarsal tunnel surgery, Dr. Mowen aka Dr. G has stated that his best results with the least complications are those tarsal tunnel surgeries that have been performed relatively early on. I believe that ONE of those reasons is because there is less damage and degeneration to the nerve in the early stages than in the later stages, causing less complications post operatively. However, in your particular case, where you presently have no pain, and only tingling with pressure in certain positions or when tapped in a certain area, you may have a mild nerve entrapment. In the area you describe, it may not be the tibial nerve, but another nerve that innervates the lower leg/ankle/foot. Have you had any recent weight gain, do you have any edema/swelling/fluid in the area? Do you wear any type of athletic sock, compression stocking, knee highs, etc., that may have a tight elastic that can be causing a restriction in the area? Regardless, this is something that you should bring to the attention of your foot/ankle specialist. He/she can determine whether it is related to a branch of the tarsal tunnel or another nerve innervating the lower leg/ankle/foot. Once again, I would recommend early intervention even the symptoms are mild, since any symptoms, even 'tingling' are not really normal and I would have it checked out to prevent any possible progression.

Result number: 71 Posted by john h on 8/03/07 at 13:09 This guy is actually pretty smart: JUVAL AVIV I 'Googled' 'JUVAL AVIV' and found a lot of material describing him as the founder and CEO of a security consultant firm, an authority and consultant to several governments as well as El Al Airlines on terrorism and a much published author on that subject, so I consider him as vetted and valid, and I offer the piece FYI. Juval Aviv was the Israeli Agent whom the movie 'Munich' was about... He was Golda Meir's bodyguard and she appointed him to track down and bring to justice the Palestinian terrorists who took the Israeli athletes hostage and killed them during the Munich Olympic Games. In a lecture in NYC a few weeks ago he shared information that EVERY American needs to know but our government has not shared. His bio is below, his book is 'Staying Safe'. First, I am going to share what he discussed in regard to the Bush Administration, 9/11 and Iraq and then I will share his predictions for the next attack on the U.S. He predicted the London subway bombing on the Bill O'Reilly show on Fox News stating publicly that it would happen within a week - O'Reilly laughed and mocked him saying that in a week he wanted him back on the show and unfortunately, within a week the terrorist attack occurred. Juval Aviv gave intelligence (via what he had gathered in Israel and the Middle East) to the Bush Administration about 9/11 a month before it occurred. His report specifically said they would use planes as bombs and target high profile buildings and monuments. The Administration ridiculed him and refused to respond. Congress has since hired him as a security consultant - but still the Administration does not listen to him. He didn't agree with going into Iraq - said it didn't make sense if we wanted terrorists responsible for 9/11 (and also he believes in Golda Meir's approach which was to bring justice to the terrorists but do not take down civilians - killing civilians only creates more terrorists - but similar to Bush, Israel's subsequent leaders were not as insightful as Golda Meir) - however, when we did decide to invade Iraq we should have learned from Israel's past mistakes. He very articulately stated that Israel's greatest mistake against their war on terror was to invade the West Bank and Gaza and stay there... He said they should have done the proven anti-terrorist strategy which was 'Hit and Leave' instead of 'Hit and Stay.' Now we are stuck in Iraq and it is worse than Vietnam - Iraq is the U.S.'s West Bank/ Gaza. He doesn't think we will ever be able to truly leave because even when we are able to pull our troops back we will still have to go back regularly which will keep us quagmired. We should have hit hard and left immediately. Now for the scary stuff.... He predicts the next attack on the U.S. is coming within the next few months. Forget hijacking airplanes because he says terrorists will NEVER try and hijack a plane again as the people on the plane will not go down quietly. Aviv believes our airport security is a joke- we are being reactionary versus looking at strategies that are effective. 1) our machines are outdated. They look for metal and the new explosives are made of plastic 2) He talked about how some idiot tried to light his shoe on fire - we now have to take off our shoes, a group of idiots tried to bring aboard liquid explosives - now we can't bring liquids on board. He is waiting for some suicidal maniac to pour liquid explosive on their underwear and light up in a plane or in the terminal and then we will all have to travel naked! 3) We only focus on security when people are heading to the gates, he says that if a terrorist attack targets airports in the future, they will target busy times and on the front end when people are checking in. It would be easy for someone to take two suitcases of explosives, walk up to a busy check-in line, ask a person next to them to watch their bags for a minute while they run to the restroom or get a drink and then detonate the bags BEFORE security even gets involved. Israel checks bags before people can enter the airport. Now, back to his predictions: He says the next attack will come in a few months and will involve suicide bombers and non-suicide bombers in places that people congregate: Disneyland, Las Vegas, Big Cities (NY, SFO, Chicago, etc...) and there it will be shopping malls, subways in rush hour, train stations, casinos, etc.. as well as rural America (Wyoming, Montana, etc...). The attack will be simultaneous detonations around the country (they like big impact) 5-8 cities including rural areas. They won't need to use suicide bombers because at largely populated places like the MGM Grand in Vegas - they can simply valet park! He says this is well known in intelligence circles but our government does not want to alarm Americans. However, he also said that the US will attack Iran and Syria before Bush leaves office. In addition, since we don't have enough troops The US will likely use small, strategic nuclear weapons regardless that the headlines the next day will read 'US Nukes Islamic World' and the world will be a different place to such an extent that global warming will be irrelevant. He travels regularly to the Middle East and he knows his stuff. On a good note - he says we don't have to worry about being nuked - he says the terrorists who want to destroy America will not use sophisticated weapons - they like suicide as the frontline approach. He also says the next level of terrorists will not be coming from abroad, but will be homegrown - having attended our schools and universities - but will have traveled frequently back and forth to the Middle East. They will know and understand Americans but we won't understand them - we still only have a handful of Arabic and Farsi speaking people in our intelligence networks and we need that to change he said... What can we do? From an intelligence perspective he says the U.S. needs to stop relying on satellites and technology for intelligence but follow Israel, Ireland and England's example of human intelligence both from an infiltration perspective as well as trust citizens to help. We need to engage and educate ourselves as citizens but our government treats us like babies and thinks we can't handle it and will panic. He did a test for Congress recently putting an empty briefcase in 5 major spots in 5 US cities and not one person called 911 or sought a policeman to check it out. In fact, in Chicago - someone tried to steal it! In Israel an unattended bag or package would be reported in seconds with a citizen shouting 'Unattended Bag' and the area cleared slowly, calmly and immediately by the people themselves. Unfortunately, we haven't hurt enough yet for us to be that concerned.... He also discussed how many children were in preschool and kindergarten after 9/11 without parents to pick them up and the schools did not have a plan. Do you have a plan with your kids, schools and families if you cannot reach each other by phone? If you cannot return to your house? If you cannot get to your child's school - do they know what to do? We should all have a plan. He said that our government's plan after the next attack is to immediately cut-off EVERYONE's ability to use their telephone, cell phone, blackberry because they don't want terrorists to be able to talk to one another - do you have a plan if you cannot communicate directly with those that you love? Last week the Today Show began with a segment that Al Qaeda was resurfacing - the same kind of action on the Pakistani border occurred before 9/11... It is scary, but we do not have panic, we just need to be aware.... Unfortunately, the current Administration has not been helpful and we can not change things until 2008.

Result number: 73 Posted by john h on 7/16/07 at 10:32 To: Edwards, Jill (student, UW) Subject: Sheep, Wolves and Sheepdogs Miss Edwards, I read of your student activity regarding the proposed memorial to Col. Greg Boyington, USMC and a Medal of Honor winner. I suspect you will receive a bellyful of angry e-mails from conservative folks like me. You may be too young to appreciate fully the sacrifices of generations of servicemen and servicewomen on whose shoulders you and your fellow students stand. I forgive you for the untutored ways of youth and your naivete. It may be that you are, simply, a sheep. There's no dishonor in being a sheep as long as you know and accept what you are. William J. Bennett, in a lecture to the United States Naval Academy November 24, 1997 said: Most of the people in our society are sheep. They are kind, gentle, productive creatures who can only hurt one another by accident. We may well be in the most violent times in history, but violence is still remarkably rare. This is because most citizens are kind, decent people who are not capable of hurting each other, except by accident or under extreme provocation. They are sheep. Then there are the wolves and the wolves feed on the sheep without mercy. Do you believe there are wolves out there who will feed on the flock without mercy? You better believe it. There are evil men in this world and they are capable of evil deeds. The moment you forget that or pretend it is not so, you become a sheep. There is no safety in denial. Then there are sheepdogs and I'm a sheepdog. I live to protect the flock and confront the wolf. If you have no capacity for violence then you are a healthy productive citizen, a sheep. If you have a capacity for violence and no empathy for your fellow citizens, then you have defined an aggressive sociopath, a wolf. But what if you have a capacity for violence, and a deep love for your fellow citizens? What do you have then? A sheepdog, a warrior, someone who is walking the unchartered path. Someone who can walk into the heart of darkness, into the universal human phobia, and walk out unscathed. We know that the sheep live in denial; that is what makes them sheep. They do not want to believe that there is evil in the world. They can accept the fact that fires can happen, which is why they want fire extinguishers, fire sprinklers, fire alarms and fire exits throughout their kids schools. But many of them are outraged at the idea of putting an armed police officer in their kid's school. Our children are thousands of times more likely to be killed or seriously injured by school violence than fire, but the sheep's only response to the possibility of violence is denial. The idea of someone coming to kill or harm their child is just too hard, and so they chose the path of denial. The sheep generally do not like the sheepdog. He looks a lot like the wolf. He has fangs and the capacity for violence. The difference, though, is that the sheepdog must not, can not and will not ever harm the sheep. Any sheep dog who intentionally harms the lowliest little lamb will be punished and removed. The world cannot work any other way, at least not in a representative democracy or a republic such as ours. Still, the sheepdog disturbs the sheep. He is a constant reminder that there are wolves in the land. They would prefer that he didn't tell them where to go, or give them traffic tickets, or stand at the ready in our airports, in camouflage fatigues, holding an M-16. The sheep would much rather have the sheepdog cash in his fangs, spray paint himself white, and go, Baa. Until the wolf shows up; then the entire flock tries desperately to hide behind one lonely sheepdog. The students, the victims, at Columbine High School were big, tough high school students, and under ordinary circumstances they would not have had the time of day for a police officer. They were not bad kids; they just had nothing to say to a cop. When the school was under attack, however, and SWAT teams were clearing the rooms and hallways, the officers had to physically peel those clinging, sobbing kids off of them. This is how the little lambs feel about their sheepdog when the wolf is at the door. Look at what happened after September 11, 2001 when the wolf pounded hard on the door. Remember how America, more than ever before, felt differently about their law enforcement officers and military personnel? Understand that there is nothing morally superior about being a sheepdog; it is just what you choose to be. Also understand that a sheepdog is a funny critter: He is always sniffing around out on the perimeter, checking the breeze, barking at things that go bump in the night, and yearning for a righteous battle. That is, the young sheepdogs yearn for a righteous battle. The old sheepdogs are a little older and wiser, but they move to the sound of the guns when needed, right along with the young ones. Here is how the sheep and the sheepdog think differently. The sheep pretend the wolf will never come, but the sheepdog lives for that day. After the attacks on September 11, 2001, most of the sheep, that is, most citizens in America said, Thank God I wasn't on one of those planes. The sheepdogs, the warriors, said, Dear God, I wish I could have been on one of those planes. Maybe I could have made a difference. You want to be able to make a difference. There is nothing morally superior about the sheepdog, the warrior, but he does have one real advantage. Only one. And that is that he is able to survive and thrive in an environment that destroys 98 percent of the population. There was research conducted a few years ago with individuals convicted of violent crimes. These cons were in prison for serious, predatory crimes of violence: assaults, murders and killing law enforcement officers. The vast majority said that they specifically targeted victims by body language: slumped walk, passive behavior and lack of awareness. They chose their victims like big cats do in Africa, when they select one out of the herd that is least able to protect itself. Some people may be destined to be sheep and others might be genetically primed to be wolves or sheepdogs. But I believe that most people can choose which one they want to be, and I'm proud to say that more and more Americans are choosing to become sheepdogs. Seven months after the attack on September 11, 2001, Todd Beamer was honored in his hometown of Cranbury, New Jersey . Todd, as you recall, was the man on Flight 93 over Pennsylvania who called on his cell phone to alert an operator from United Airlines about the hijacking. When they learned of the other three passenger planes that had been used as weapons, Todd and the other passengers confronted the terrorist hijackers. In one hour, a transformation occurred among the passengers, athletes, business people and parents from sheep to sheepdogs and together they fought the wolves, ultimately saving an unknown number of lives on the ground. There is no safety for honest men except by believing all possible evil of evil men. Edmund Burke. Only the dead have seen the end of war. Plato Here is the point I like to emphasize, especially to the thousands of police officers and soldiers I speak to each year. In nature the sheep, real sheep, are born as sheep. Sheepdogs are born that way, and so are wolves. They didn't have a choice. But you are not a critter. As a human being, you can be whatever you want to be. It is a conscious, moral decision. If you want to be a sheep, then you can be a sheep and that is okay, but you must understand the price you pay. When the wolf comes, you and your loved ones are going to die if there is not a sheepdog there to protect you. If you want to be a wolf, you can be one, but the sheepdogs are going to hunt you down and you will never have rest, safety, trust or love. But if you want to be a sheepdog and walk the warrior's path, then you must make a conscious and moral decision every day to dedicate, equip and prepare yourself to thrive in that toxic, corrosive moment when the wolf comes knocking at the door. This business of being a sheep or a sheep dog is not a yes-no dichotomy. It is not an all-or-nothing, either-or choice. It is a matter of degrees, a continuum. On one end is an abject, head-in-the-sand-sheep and on the other end is the ultimate warrior. Few people exist completely on one end or the other. Most of us live somewhere in between. Since 9-11 almost everyone in America took a step up that continuum, away from denial. The sheep took a few steps toward accepting and appreciating their warriors and the warriors started taking their job more seriously. It's ok to be a sheep, but do not kick the sheep dog. Indeed, the sheep dog may just run a little harder, strive to protect a little better and be fully prepared to pay an ultimate price in battle and spirit with the sheep moving from baa to thanks. We do not call for gifts or freedoms beyond our lot. We just need a small pat on the head, a smile and a thank you to fill the emotional tank which is drained protecting the sheep. And when our number is called by The Almighty, and day retreats into night, a small prayer before the heavens just may be in order to say thanks for letting you continue to be a sheep. And be grateful for the thousands, millions of American sheepdogs who permit you the freedom to express even bad ideas.

Result number: 75 Posted by marie on 7/09/07 at 20:30 It's just around the corner. Today McConnell shared his support for the wishes of the American people on Iraq. Wow now there's a novel thought......elected politicians are the voice and will of the people. It's been so long since I have heard that it sort of made me proud that Republicans finally get it. http://news.scotsman.com/international.cfm?id=1071972007 'I don't think we're making a lot of progress doing what we're doing,'' Senator Judd Gregg, a Republican from New Hampshire who supports the Salazar-Alexander Bill, said. 'The Iraq Study Group I thought laid out a very specific and very comprehensive proposal that makes sense as a way to extricate ourselves from a very difficult situation.' http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2007-07-08-mcconnell-kentucky_N.htm 'The majority of the public has decided the Iraq effort is not worth it,' he said. 'That puts a lot of pressure on Congress to act because public opinion in a democracy is not irrelevant.'
Result number: 76 Posted by Dr. Goldstein on 7/05/07 at 07:28 Mark: yes that is correct the are the same thing as a fibroma. The injections were actually mention by my friend Dr. Greg Mowen from Ventnor, NJ. He refers to himself as Dr. g. where I use Dr. Goldstein. In my 26 years of practice I have not seen much shrinkage with injections especially if the fibromas are large. Plus Dr. Mowen mentioned hyaluronidase which is hard to come by. This is strictly my take and Dr. mowen may have had far greater success with the injection therapy so hopefully he will see this and comment. The cryo works extremely well with an average of 2 treatments. Dr. Goldstein

Result number: 78 Posted by David G. Wedemeyer, DC on 5/31/07 at 15:03 John you're right we had no idea what form or strategy the insurgents would take but has no nation including ours learned anything from Vietnam, Afghanistan etc? When you walk into a village brandishing a stick you can and will expect fierce oppostion the majority of the time. The theme that we are liberators is laughable, sure Saddam was an incredibly monstrous dictator and no one wanted him to gain nuclear capability (or another WMD pogram). The fact is that his military and weapons programs were crippled in the Gulf war and the administration is just using the buzz phrase 'The war on terror' when in fact he is a puny player on the world scale and much less responsible for radical Islamic funding and training than Syria and Afghanistan. The truth is our own avarice for cheap oil is what funds radical Islam, not Saddam and the Bathists. One reason that Bin Laden will never be killed or caught is because of our ties to the Faud royal family, oil and the immense money the elite in our government make off of their association and business dealings with the Saudi's. The entire point I am making is that we were bald faced lied to about why we were going into Iraq and now that we are there, there is no accountability for the egregious cluster **** we are in. Our military has been castrated by this administration, particularly Rumsfeld. Can we win in Iraq? Who knows but now we cannot afford to up and leave you are so very right. Now the whole middle east and in particular Isreal is at stake. This much we have learned from the previous excursions to promote 'democracy' that we have set out on. As for protecting our way of life, we should have spent this money protecting our borders, increasing military spending, recruiting and deporting flight students on the ten year college plan. DW

Wilding, PhD Division of Biostatistics, Department of Social and Preventive Medicine, University at Buffalo, The State University of New York, 3435 Main Street, Building 26, Buffalo, NY 14214 In support of their research or preparation of this manuscript, one or more authors received grants or outside funding from the Research Designated Fund of the New York Physical Therapy Association. None of the authors received payments or other benefits or a commitment or agreement to provide such benefits from a commercial entity. No commercial entity paid or directed, or agreed to pay or direct, any benefits to any research fund, foundation, educational institution, or other charitable or nonprofit organization with which the authors are affiliated or associated. Background: Approximately 10% of patients with plantar fasciitis have development of persistent and often disabling symptoms. A poor response to treatment may be due, in part, to inappropriate and nonspecific stretching techniques. We hypothesized that patients with chronic plantar fasciitis who are managed with the structure-specific plantar fascia-stretching program for eight weeks have a better functional outcome than do patients managed with a standard Achilles tendon-stretching protocol. Methods: One hundred and one patients who had chronic proximal plantar fasciitis for a duration of at least ten months were randomized into one of two treatment groups. The mean age was forty-six years. All patients received prefabricated soft insoles and a three-week course of celecoxib, and they also viewed an educational video on plantar fasciitis. The patients received instructions for either a plantar fascia tissue-stretching program (Group A) or an Achilles tendon-stretching program (Group B). All patients completed the pain subscale of the Foot Function Index and a subject-relevant outcome survey that incorporated generic and condition-specific outcome measures related to pain, function, and satisfaction with treatment outcome. The patients were reevaluated after eight weeks. Results: Eighty-two patients returned for follow-up evaluation. With the exception of the duration of symptoms (p < 0.01), covariates for baseline measures revealed no significant differences between the groups. The pain subscale scores of the Foot Function Index showed significantly better results for the patients managed with the plantar fascia-stretching program with respect to item 1 (worst pain; p = 0.02) and item 2 (first steps in the morning; p = 0.006). Analysis of the response rates to the outcome measures also revealed significant differences with respect to pain, activity limitations, and patient satisfaction, with greater improvement seen in the group managed with the plantar fascia-stretching program. Conclusions: A program of non-weight-bearing stretching exercises specific to the plantar fascia is superior to the standard program of weight-bearing Achilles tendon-stretching exercises for the treatment of symptoms of proximal plantar fasciitis. These findings provide an alternative option to the present standard of care in the nonoperative treatment of patients with chronic, disabling plantar heel pain.

Result number: 80 Posted by Dr. Z on 5/24/07 at 11:38 Dr. Wander, I wasn't sure if he had first step morning pain at the time he had ESWT performed. Fred S does talk about ' Classic PF symptoms upon getting out of bed later I believe after His ESWT treatment. Knowing Dr. Wishnie and his understanding of ESWT I feel confident that the proper inclusion criteria was evaluated and he felt that ESWT was the proper treatment for him. Dr. Wishnie has performed hundreds of ESWT procedure since 1999. But I didn't examine the this patient and can't make an internet diagnosis. A work up for any type of arthritic involvement is an excellent course as you have recommended I find that high performance basketball, runners etc can develop local and or systemic nerve problems which a neurologist may be able to pin down. Dr. Mowan's PSSD testing ( nerve testing) could be another ave to travel since he is in New Jersey and might be able to add more insight to this difficult heel pain case.

Result number: 81 Posted by Dr. David S. Wander on 5/18/07 at 08:35 My response is as follows: 1) Unfortunately, I have no accurate way to truly identify who is actually posting on this site. Even if someone posts under a 'true' identity, I really have no way of verifying who is actually sitting behind the keyboard. I do not have the ability to review the curriculum vitae of everyone on this site. 2) Although this is a 'free' internet sit, it is still basically 'buyer beware'. 3) As 'Dr. Donner' stated in his post, and I have stated hundreds of times over the years, the advice given on this site is no substitute for the advice given by your own doctor, especially given the fact that you do NOT know who is on the other end of the keyboard. 4) You really have to judge for yourself by the integrity and quality of the answers, though now-a-days, even an imposter can get accurate information off other internet sites and provide some pretty good information. 5) I have chosen (sometimes not so wisely) to post under a true identity and not a fictitious or anonymous identity. Therefore, I am easy to look up to see if I 'really' exist, etc. The same holds true for Dr. 'g' (Greg Mowen), Dr. Z (David Zuckerman), Dr. Ed (Ed Davis), Jeremy (Jeremy Long), Dr. Kiper, etc. 6) However, with all due respect to 'Dr. Donner', I have not been able to verify his claim of being board certified in foot & ankle surgery (if he is boarded by the American Board of Podiatric Surgery), since I do not see anyone by the name 'Donner' in the ABPS directory that I have in my possession. Therefore, if Dr. 'Donner' is board certified by the ABPS, I must assume that he is on this site posting under a fictitious name for his/her own personal reasons. 7) As long as Dr. 'Donner' provides what I consider accurate medical advice (even if I don't agree or subscribe to his/her ideas), I see no reason to block or delete his/her posts. If the posts are rude, nasty or do not meet the sites rules or regulations, the posts will be deleted as would any similar posts. 8) But once again, there is no substitute for the advice and care of your own doctor and no information on this site should be taken as 'gospel'.
Result number: 82 Posted by David G. Wedemeyer, DC on 5/11/07 at 16:02 As I recall John Biden's original plan included closing the borders and maintaining the current Iraqi army. The exception would be all soldiers of rank, they would have Bathist loyalties where the grunts typically do not. Makes sense when you recall the overwhelming surrender of their ground units during Desert Storm. We really screwed the pooch this time around due to Rumsfeld's 'Leaner, meaner force'. By not engaging them with an unequivocal and overwhelming force and not segregating the combatants we have created an ignominious cluster f. We face a much larger problem if we simply withdraw and the current liberal theme to withdraw funds and set a date to withdraw worries me even more. We all need to think this through, while it was a blunder and a lie that conceived this war we cannot afford to lose in that region. Period. We simply cannot allow Iran, Iraq, Syria or any of those other Islamic states to achieve nuclear capability. At stake here is our entire economy, losing Israel who is our only true ally in the region and more oil revenue will fund terrorism. As for Israel they have been persecuted and chased all over the globe for an eternity and yet that small blip on the map is still the most fearsome force in the middle east. They are the toughest and smartest people on the globe (IMO) and very key to stability in the region. I respect them a great deal and hope our success in Iraq aids them along the way. DW DW

Result number: 86 Posted by Dr. David S. Wander on 3/23/07 at 15:20 David D.C., Whoa, talk about being 'defensive' and contradictory??? Let's set the record straight and talk factual. 1) In your post above YOU state 'I didn't realize I was being evasive about my identity nor was that my intent. If it is important to you or others I will share it.' However, you STILL have not 'shared' your identity, but continue to post under the name 'David, D.C.', therefore we don't really know who you are, where you practice, etc. 2) No one questioned your business ethics, we simply posed some questions and you answered those questions to our (my) satisfaction. 3) You state that you didn't respond to my last email because I would not take you seriously and you would not have to defend your professional ethics until you took a Cped course. Ironically, the only TWO questions that I posed to you in my last email were: a) as a chiropractor dispensing diabetic therapeutic shoes, what did you do if/when a diabetic patient developed a complication such as a sore or ulceration. How did you as a chiropractor treat that sore or ulceration and since you did not have podiatric or pedorthic training, how did you make any shoe modifications or accommodations? (I don't believe that was an unfair question or a question that had anything to do with ethics do you?) b) the second question I asked was why you chose to remain anonymous, when Dr. Ed (Ed Davis, DPM of Washington), Dr. Z (David Zuckerman, DPM of New Jersey), Dr. G (Greg Mowen, DPM of New Jersey), Dr. Goldstein (Steve Goldstein, DPM of New Jersey), Jeremey (Jeremy Long, Cped of North Carolina), myself (David Wander, DPM of Philadelphia) all have decided to provide 'true' identities. In summary, NO ONE has questioned your business practices OR your ethics. Initially, we did have questions regarding chiropractors dispensing diabetic shoes, and I still have concerns about chiropractors dispensing diabetic therapeutic shoes as outlined in letter 'a' above. But you alleviated those concerns when you described your intent on earning your Cped degree. But your continued anonymity remains a mystery to me that I can not explain........can you?
Result number: 87 Posted by Dr. David S. Wander on 3/21/07 at 07:21 David D.C. Your quote was 'I am new here and a little confused over the hierarchy of this board, hence my non-response initially.' There is no hierarchy to this board. However, the majority of those that responded, including Jeremy, Dr. Ed and myself have been involved with this board for a very long time. Therefore, I believe that we (at least I) feel it's our duty to maintain the integrity of this board and make sure that when someone 'new' starts posting as a medical 'expert', certain parameters are met. There was no attack, but there were honest questions asked. And I will ask one more honest question. It's well known that Dr. Ed, is in actuality Ed Davis ,DPM from Washington State, and that Dr. Goldstein is Steve Goldstein, DPM from New Jersey, and Dr. 'Z', is Dr. David Zuckerman from New Jersey and Jeremy is a Cped from North Carolina, and Dr. 'G' is Dr. Greg Mowen from New Jersey and that I practice in Philadelphia, etc. However, all we know is that you are 'David, D.C.' Is there a reason that you have chosen to basically remain anonymous?
Result number: 88 Posted by Tim M. on 3/04/07 at 21:19 Yes, in case you have forgotten, Atta and his colleagues actually gave up their lives for their cause, something Cheney, Rumsfeld and Bush declined to do when they were of service age. Atta and his misguided brethren flew those planes into the WTC towers because they felt they had to, it was the only weapon they had to fight us. No, we do not hide bombs in teddy bears, we hover in the darkness in state-of-the-art helicopters and, in the light of state-of-the-art night vision, we indiscriminately tear apart human silhouettes with guns which shoot over 10 rounds a second. What you are saying is because we have the high tech weaponry our killing is much "better" Is much more "noble"? The American military only admits to one homicide at Abu Ghraib, although the people who were there, even the Americans who were convicted, tell of many more. They tell of defenseless prisoners who were shot for merely "misbehaving," and others who had poisonous snakes sicced on them and died because of their bites. We have also killed tens of thousands of innocent civilians in Iraq. Do YOU need a "refresher" on what war does to everyone who participates in it? "The people that did the naked pyramids and pictures were tried and convicted"? Not hardly, larrym. The people tried and convicted were low level peons, not the people up the ladder in rank who approved the methods and even gave Charles Graner a couple of citations for his "good work." Nobody above the rank of sergeant got much more than a note in their file. Your comments about getting "dunked in water" indicate that you, like Dick Cheney, do not know the first thing about the effects of water torture, which means you have more than a mere "convoluted sense of right and wrong," you have an egregiously warped sense of justice, duty and patriotism.
Result number: 89 Posted by Dr. Ed on 2/22/07 at 08:15 The first thing that may be tried is support hose. TTS associated with varicose veins in the tarsal tunnel often shows symptommatic improvement with elevation since the veins are only engorged with dependency. Support hose (the type used to control varicose veins) helps prevent the veins from engorging thereby reducing pressure in the tarsal tunnel. Some varicose veins are enlarged/engorged but others are leaky alowing blood to seep out. The latter is often evidenced by a brown discoloration beneath the skin. The only means that I amm aware of to reduce the permeability of the vein walls is use of the supplement, hose chestnut extract. The dose of hrse chestnut extract is 50 mg. by mouth three times a day. Finally, surgical treatment which involves tying/stripping of the veins in the tarsal tunnel may be needed. This subset of tarsal tunnel surgery is, in my opinion, more successful than aggregate experience for tarsal tunnel surgery because it involves removal of a discreet growth/enlargement placing pressure on the nerve.

Let's review some of her vitiril shall we?......unlike one sentence she has books preaching HATRED FOR AMERICANS. Iran would certainly welcome this anti-American with open arms. Hatred 101 Ann Coulter Style.......and this is the short list. "We need somebody to put rat poisoning in Justice Stevens' creme brulee. That's just a joke, for you in the media." "These broads are millionaires, lionized on TV and in articles about them, reveling in their status as celebrities and stalked by griefparrazies.

"We should invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity."

"Press passes can't be that hard to come by if the White House allows that old Arab Helen Thomas to sit within yards of the President." "The swing voters -- I like to refer to them as the idiot voters because they don't have set philosophical principles. You're either a liberal or you're a conservative if you have an IQ above a toaster." (that's why they don't vote for your side anymore honey) "it's far preferable to fight [terrorists] in the streets of Baghdad than in the streets of New York (where the residents would immediately surrender)." "I have to say I'm all for public flogging. One type of criminal that a public humiliation might work particularly well with are the juvenile delinquents, a lot of whom consider it a badge of honor to be sent to juvenile detention. And it might not be such a cool thing in the 'hood to be flogged publicly." (some call that child abuse thank God you have none) "I really want to hurt him. I want him to feel pain." (Referring to the possibility of running against a Democratic Representative) "When contemplating college liberals, you really regret once again that John Walker is not getting the death penalty. We need to execute people like John Walker in order to physically intimidate liberals, by making them realize that they can be killed, too. Otherwise, they will turn out to be outright traitors." "The thing I like about Bush is I think he hates liberals." "I think there should be a literacy test and a poll tax for people to vote." (apparently she has no respect for the voting rights act and those who died for it) "Kwanzaa itself is a lunatic blend of schmaltzy '60s rhetoric, black racism and Marxism. Indeed, the seven 'principles'of Kwanzaa praise collectivism in every possible arena of life – economics, work, personality, even litter removal." "I think we had enough laws about the turn-of-the-century. We don't need any more." Asked how far back would she go to repeal laws, she replied, "Well, before the New Deal ... [The Emancipation Proclamation] would be a good start." "With their infernal racial set-asides, racial quotas, and race norming, liberals share many of the Klan's premises. The Klan sees the world in terms of race and ethnicity. So do liberals! Indeed, liberals and white supremacists are the only people left in America who are neurotically obsessed with race. Conservatives champion a color-blind society." Ann Coulter: I take the biblical idea. God gave us the earth. Democratic Strategist Peter Fenn: Oh, OK. Coulter: We have dominion over the plants, the animals, the trees. Fenn: This is a great idea. Coulter: God says, "Earth is yours. Take it. Rape it. It's yours." Fenn: Terrific. We're Americans, so we should consume as much of the earth's resources... Coulter: Yes! Yes. Fenn: ... as fast as we possibly can. Coulter: As opposed to living like the Indians. "Anorexics never have boyfriends. ... That's one way to know you don't have anorexia: if you have a boyfriend." "People like you caused us to lose the war."

The problem with women voting -- and your Communists will back me up on this -- is that, you know, women have no capacity to understand how money is earned. They have a lot of ideas on how to spend it. And when they take these polls, it's always more money on education, more money on child care, more money on day care." Without affirmative action, African-American Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA): couldn't get a job "that didn't involve wearing a paper hat" "If Gore had been elected president, right now he would just be finding that last lesbian quadriplegic for the Special Forces team." "I don't know if [former U.S. President Bill Clinton is] gay. But [former U.S. Vice President] Al Gore - total fag." "Six imams removed from a US Airways flight from Minneapolis to Phoenix are calling on Muslims to boycott the airline. If only we could get Muslims to boycott all airlines, we could dispense with airport security altogether." "[Canadians] better hope the United States does not roll over one night and crush them. They are lucky we allow them to exist on the same continent." "The Episcopals (sic) don't demand much in the way of actual religious belief. They have girl priests, gay priests, gay bishops, gay marriages -- it's much like The New York Times editorial board. They acknowledge the Ten Commandments -- or "Moses' talking points" -- but hasten to add that they're not exactly "carved in stone." (On court ordered desegregation)"Few failures have been more spectacular. Illiterate students knifing one another between acts of sodomy in the stairwell is just one of the many eggs that had to be broken to make the left's omelette of transferring power from states to the federal government." "The Democrats are giving aid and comfort to the enemy for no purpose other than giving aid and comfort to the enemy. There is no plausible explanation for the Democrats' behavior other than that they long to see U.S. troops shot, humiliated, and driven from the field of battle. They fill the airwaves with treason, but when called to vote on withdrawing troops, disavow their own public statements. These people are not only traitors, they are gutless traitors." "In the history of the nation, there has never been a political party so ridiculous as today's Democrats. It's as if all the brain-damaged people in America got together and formed a voting bloc." "The ethic of conservation is the explicit abnegation of man's dominion over the Earth. The lower species are here for our use. God said so: Go forth, be fruitful, multiply, and rape the planet--it's yours. That's our job: drilling, mining and stripping. Sweaters are the anti-Biblical view. Big gas-guzzling cars with phones and CD players and wet bars -- that's the Biblical view." "I would like evolution to join the roster of other discredited religions, like the Cargo Cult of the South Pacific. Practitioners of Cargo Cult believed that manufactured products were created by ancestral spirits, and if they imitated what they had seen the white man do, they could cause airplanes to appear out of the sky, bringing valuable cargo like radios and TVs. So they constructed airport towers out of bamboo and headphones out of coconuts and waited for the airplanes to come with the cargo. It may sound silly, but in defense of the Cargo Cult, they did not wait as long for evidence supporting their theory as the Darwinists have waited for evidence supporting theirs." "They're [Democrats] always accusing us of repressing their speech. I say let's do it. Let's repress them. Frankly, I'm not a big fan of the First Amendment." "I'd build a wall. In fact, I'd hire illegal immigrants to build the wall. And throw out the illegals who are here. [...] It's cheap labor." "When we were fighting communism, OK, they had mass murderers and gulags, but they were white men and they were sane. Now we're up against absolutely insane savages." "… as for catching Osama, it's irrelevant. Things are going swimmingly in Afghanistan." "They're never very high in anyone's caste system, are they? Poor little Pakis." VESTER: "You say you’d rather not talk to liberals at all?" COULTER: "I think a baseball bat is the most effective way these days." "[Learning difficulties are a cover for] rich parents with dumb kids...That's why 'Pinch' Sulzberger, the publisher of The New York Times, is alleged to have dyslexia - because he's retarded." "You don't want the Republicans in power, does that mean you want a dictatorship, gay boy?" "Which brings me to this week's scandal about No Such Agency spying on 'Americans.' I have difficulty ginning up much interest in this story inasmuch as I think the government should be spying on all Arabs, engaging in torture as a televised spectator sport, dropping daisy cutters wantonly throughout the Middle East, and sending liberals to Guantanamo." "If Chicago had been hit, I assure you New Yorkers would not have cared. What was stunning when New York was hit was how the rest of America rushed to New York's defense. New Yorkers would have been like, 'It's tough for them; now let's go back to our Calvin Klein fashion shows.'" "It would be a much better country if women did not vote. That is simply a fact. In fact, in every presidential election since 1950 - except Goldwater in '64 - the Republican would have won, if only the men had voted." "My libertarian friends are probably getting a little upset now but I think that's because they never appreciate the benefits of local fascism."

Additonally, I am not necessarily fond of the aforemention line of criticism of Obama. If today's news media existed in 1789, I doubt we would have a nation. Very few great men have spotless records whether the issue be alcohol, illicit drugs, womanizing, etc. Ben Franklin certainly would agree and would be one of the more "scandalous" figures if he were alive today. Franklin's advice of "everything in moderation" seems most reasonable to me. People are complicated, diverse beings and need to be judged on aggregate of issues, alowing virutes and vices. We have the religious commmunity to remind us to control vices and reinforce teachings of the goodness of virtues. (Too bad so many leftists are anti-religious) We don't live in a theocracy but are governed by fallible humans. The media is guilty of not presenting a good perspective but scandal mongering instead.

I do believe that the chance of complications is very small, even more so when performed by qualified individuals. I understand your concerns about posters here but the majority seem to have problems with mis-diagnosis as opposed to frank failure of ESWT. Keep in mind that that this board and site does not represent a cross section of PF sufferers, let alone a cross section of those who have had ESWT. People are here because they continue to have problems. I, like other practitioners, must base judgement on aggregate numbers in the general population of patients treated by a modality. Available information suggests that the complication rate with ESWT is very tiny. Dr. Ed

Result number: 95 Posted by Tim M. on 1/16/07 at 14:54 The actions of President Clinton were those of a cheesy philanderer, they were inappropriate, embarrassing to him and to the country and we should neither condone them nor excuse them. The actions of Senator Foley were those of an egregious predator, they were inappropriate, embarrassing to him and to the country and we should neither condone them nor excuse them. The actions of President Bush were those of a juvenile delinquent, they were inappropriate, embarrassing to him and to the country and we should neither condone them nor excuse them. What do you have a problem with, that the score is 2 to 1 in favor of the Republicans?
Result number: 96 Posted by oma z on 1/07/07 at 19:56 It has nothing to do with your spatial position. Horizontal Therapy uses the FM Frequencies, and goes where TENS units cannot go. TENS are for short term pain relief and utilize the AM frequency, waves that go up and down. The FM frequency goes Horizontal. As an example, when I go to the Las Vegas Airport (do you know 38 million people visit Vegas every year and a flight goes out every 90 seconds?) there is a rather long tunnel I go through. When I'm listening to my AM talk stations, the sound is cut off as soon as I enter, since those waves go up and down. Whereas, when I turn to the FM frequency channel, (country - not the twangy country - but my most favorite are Greg's songs on CD's) then there is still no problem with the reception, because those waves still go through the tunnel sideways. Hope needs Horizontal Therapy. Hope, wasn't that you that was going to start that???? The HT is for LONG TERM pain relief without side effects. The machine is somthing you get treated for at a doctor's office, but if patients want one they're pretty pricey. You could get just the top without the VASOPulse, the vacuum electrodes (which is really good for swelling, edema, sprains) and the Electrical only is about 2/3rds the total price. You would need a doctor's script though. We do have a demo unit with a discount though. Suzanne

My thinking is if they'd quit suing people they probably wouldn't be so high.
Result number: 98 Posted by Dr. Ed on 12/29/06 at 11:08 Tim: Could be. But invariably the relevance of man's contribution to global warming is not a big issue. The environment has always been one of those areas where I break with many conservatives. I had high hopes for the Clinton-Gore administration only in the area of the environment. It seemed like their concept of environmentalism was based on "paper," that is, write more environmental regulations. My concept, since 1973, the Arab oil embargo, has been to favor development of alternative energy. Alternative energy is needed not just for environmental reasons but to move the US and Europe away from dependence on oil. For some reason the oil rich countries (Middle East, Nigeria, Venezuela) have been politically problematic. Interestingly, the France now derives about 70% of its electric generating power from nuclear energy and China is purchasing US nuclear reactors from Westinghouse. Certainly, nuclear fission power has its own set of issues. The funding of clean, "green" power has been infinitesimal until President Bush's hydrogen power initiative and that is not a very large project. Is it not funny that the guy who gets all the abuse over oil, Halliburton and such is the first to get serious about alternative energy? Here is a cool organization for those interested in alternative energy which I am a member of: http://www.krystal-planet.com/ The interesting thing about this organization is that it gives the public things they can do to utilize alternative energy sources. I think that if everyone did their part the aggregate effect could be significant. I tend to ignore all their rants about global warming because, again, I don't think that that is the primary reason to seek alternative energy sources.
Result number: 99 Posted by marie on 12/29/06 at 11:06 "Carter's misuse of word "apartheid" may be offensive to African-Americans." In an effort to continue to present both sides in response to one sided constant postings I offer additonal links that present both points of view and some that are opposite of other's presented here. I can relate to some of these articles as I was defamed for simply wishing to listen to BOTH sides. Here are some links with a short quote from each one.....I did not get these off Free Republic or any other bias type of site. http://www.gloucestertimes.com/opinion/local_story_363094606?keyword=topstory From the reaction to his latest book, "Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid," you'd think former President Jimmy Carter had poked a stick in a hornets' nest. While the book has been well-received elsewhere, its provocative title (which is all most of his critics appear to have read) has stirred up outrage and condemnation among the organizations and their spokespeople who champion American support for Israel at any cost and are quick to label anyone an anti-Semitic liar who questions Israel's actions. ------------ This link is more of a rant then an objective point of view but worth a read. http://www.clevelandjewishnews.com/articles/2006/12/27/news/local/acover1222.txt But not every Jewish voice is raised against Carter's Palestine. Clevelander Alan Federman, a member of Tikkun, dismisses criticisms by Foxman/Dershowitz/et al. “I would encourage people to read Carter's book with an open mind,” ------------- From the Jerusalem Post titled: Why Jimmy Carter is not an anti-Semite http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1164881982714&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull But with the publication of Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid, his ignorant rant against Israel, many in the American Jewish community believe that Carter is not just a loser but an anti-Semite. I disagree. Jimmy Carter is not so much anti-Semite as anti-intellectual, not so much a Jew-hater as a boor. The real explanation behind his limitless hostility to Israel is a total lack of any moral understanding. ---------------- The Ludicrous Attacks on Jimmy Carter's Book by NORMAN FINKELSTEIN http://www.counterpunch.org/finkelstein12282006.html The shrill reaction to Carter's mention of apartheid is probably due not only to the term's emotive resonances but its legal-political implications as well. According to Additional Protocol I to the 1949 Geneva Conventions as well as the Statute of the International Criminal Court, "practices of apartheid" constitute war crimes. Small wonder, then, that despite--or, rather, because of--its aptness, Carter is being bullied into repudiating the term. ------------ A Palestinian view of Jimmy Carter's book http://www.zmag.org/content/showarticle.cfm?SectionID=15&ItemID=11729 The 39th president of the United States, the most successful Arab- Israeli peace negotiator to date, has braved a storm of criticism, including the insinuation from the pro-Israel Anti-Defamation League that his arguments are anti-Semitic. ------------. http://www.uruknet.de/?p=m29297 ...in reference to the segregation of Palestinians by Israel's apartheid wall, Carter writes (with a straight face I assume), "I have made it clear that the motivation is not racism but the desire of a minority of Israelis to confiscate and colonize choice sites in Palestine, and then to forcefully suppress any objections from the displaced citizens." This statement is breathtakingly surreal. We are expected to believe that even though the segregation of Palestinians in the West Bank is based solely on their racial and ethnic origin, somehow this particular version of apartheid isn't racism. Instead, it's only the confiscation and colonization of their land and resources. ------------- From the blogosphere BOTH sides presented....... http://yidwithlid.blogspot.com/2006/12/camera-to-simon-and-schuster-correct.html http://www.huffingtonpost.com/alan-dershowitz/the-world-according-to-ji_b_34702.html http://www.thomaspmbarnett.com/weblog/2006/12/jimmy_carters_new_book.html http://gotv.blogspot.com/2006/12/jimmy-carter-and-brandeis.html http://mondoweiss.observer.com/2006/12/jimmy-carter-on-mission.html http://tonykaron.com/2006/12/22/israel-and-apartheid-in-defense-of-jimmy-carter/ http://digg.com/political_opinion/Emory_anthropology_professor_slams_Jimmy_Carter http://mschick.blogspot.com/2006/12/anti-semites-everywhere.html http://wattenblog.blogspot.com/2006/12/arnold-biechman-jimmy-carter.html http://amechad.blogspot.com/2006/12/this-article-is-awesome-solution-to.html http://www.thepeoplesvoice.org/cgi-bin/blogs/news.php/2006/12/29/congress_should_listen_to_former_preside
Result number: 100 Posted by Dr. Ed on 12/28/06 at 13:00 A long cut and paste. It was just a short time ago when Scott or the moderator deleted a shorter cut and paste and did and demanded that I provide a link instead... oh well Okay, lets look closely at this letter: A letter to Jewish citizens of America "During my recent book tour...a documentary about me and the work of The Carter Center. Demme reported that there was an equally large group of Jewish citizens demonstrating in support of the book and its call for a path to peace." This represents one group of people at one venue. It is really irrelevant if the number of Jewish citizens demonstrating in support was equal to the number opposed at that particular place and time. What were the absolute numbers involved. If both groups were small as I suspect, it was an inacccurate sample size to guage opinion by scientific method. "We first discussed the peace treaty I negotiated between Israel and Egypt in 1979, and the Holocaust Commission I announced on Israel's 30th birthday. Five of them had read my book completely and one partially, and I answered their questions about the text and title of PALESTINE PEACE NOT APARTHEID. I emphasized, as I had throughout the tour, that the book was about conditions and events in the Palestinian territories and not in Israel, where a democracy exists with all the freedoms we enjoy in our country and Israeli Jews and Arabs are legally guaranteed the same rights as citizens." I am glad that he recognizes the conditions and Democracy in Israel. A major dilemna is that he conveniently forgets that the majority of Palestine is encompassed by Jordan. Remember the Black September issue in which Palestinian Arabs fought for control and autonomy in the territory controlled by the Hashemite minoirty government in Jordan. Why is this fact so conveniently ignored? Additonally he fails to state that the government of Israel only has limited control over what occurs in the territories where Palestinian Arabs live. The Palestinian Authority was provided a large measure of control by Israel at the demand of the US and Europe. It was the Palestinian people who rejected that control and voted in the radical Hamas instead which has continued to foment instability. The PA, in response to the polularity of Hamas, felt it necessary to prove to the Palestinian Arabs, that it too could carry on terrorism against Israel. "We discussed the word "apartheid," which I defined as the forced segregation of two peoples living in the same land, with one of them dominating and persecuting the other." Who is persecuting who? The so-called occupied territories were territories control by Egypt and Jordan before the 1967 War. The West Bank includes historical Judea and Samaria. I was surprised that Israel bowed to international pressure and did not annex those areas into Israel proper. That is a mjoar criticism that I have of the Israeli government. Did the Palestinian Arabs living in Gaza and the West Bank have more rights when Jordan and Egypt ran the areas. The answer is "no." Many Israelis moved to the West Bank and established settlements as they viewed that land as their home in the Holy Land both for historical and religious regions and because they had lost family members fighting the wars. The Jews living in the West Bank in no maneer practiced any form of policy of separation from the Arabs living there, It was their expectation that the Arabs living in the West Bank would have a stautus similar to that in the rest of Israel. It was the Arab leadershiop under Arafat that practiced spearation or "apartheid" if you will. There is no inherent prejudice of Arabs among Jews. There was and has been massive prejudice, blood libel and hatred preached against he jews by the Arab rulers including the PLO. Textbooks used in the Palestinian Arab classrooms, paid for by the US and the Europeans depict Israel as non-existant on the map and Jews as sub-humans. " I made clear in the book's text and in my response to the rabbis that the system of apartheid in Palestine is not based on racism but the desire of a minority of Israelis for Palestinian land and the resulting suppression of protests that involve violence." What? What is wrong with the supression of violent protests and how does that lead to apartheid? What does he mean by a "desire of a minority of Israeli's for Palestinian land?" Exactly how does Carter decide waht land belongs to the Israelis and what land to the Palestinian Arabs? '"Bishop Tutu, Nelson Mandela, and prominent Israelis, including former attorney general Ben Yair, who served under both Labor and Likud prime ministers, have used and explained the appellation in harsher terms than I, pointing out that this cruel oppression is contrary to the tenets of the Jewish faith and the basic principles of the nation of Israel." Bishop Tutu and Mandela can chose to be racists if they wish. I will not condone it but Carter can. Which prominent Israelis does he speak of? One can always find a group of people that support one's views. Cruel oppression? Exactly what or which cruel oppression is Carter speaking of? "I made it clear that I have never claimed that American Jews control the news media..." Gee thanks. , " factor, especially in the political arena, is the powerful influence of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which is exercising its legitimate goal of explaining the current policies of Israel's government and arousing maximum support in our country. There are no significant countervailing voices." Okay. So Carter is concerned about the influence of the AIPAC. Why is he not concerned about the influence and why does he not mention the numerous Arab lobbying groups which have MUCH more money derived from Saudi oil money to influence American politics and media? Why does Carter conveniently fail to mention the millions of dollars that he, associates and the Carter Center have recieved from Arab interests? "When asked my proposals for peace in the Middle East, I summarized by calling for Hamas members and all other Palestinians to renounce violence and adopt the same commitment made by the Arab nations in 2002: the full recognition of Israel's right to exist in peace within its legally recognized 1967 borders (to be modified by mutual agreement by land swaps)." What? Hamas is a terrorist group organized for the purpose of committing terror. It charter calls for the annihilation of the State of Israel. Hamas is unlikely to renounce violence even if Jimmy Carter asks. When was a "committment made by the Arab states?" Mr. Carter needs to share this with the rest of us. " An immediate step would be the resumption of peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians, now absent for six years. President Mahmoud Abbas is the official spokesman for the Palestinians, as head of the Palestinian National Authority and the Palestine Liberation Organization, and has repeatedly called for peace talks. I asked the rabbis to join in an effort to induce the Israeli government to comply with this proposal." One small problem. Carter calls Mahmoud Abbas the official spokesman for the Palestinians BUT the Palestinian Arabs do not regard him as such. Hamas won the election so Abbas is out. Yesterday, Prince Hassan of Jordan refused to meet with Abbas in deference to Hamas. Hmas will NOT negotiate with Israel. "In addition, I pointed out that the Palestinian people were being deprived of the necessities of life by economic restrictions imposed on them by Israel and the United States because 42% had voted for Hamas candidates in the most recent election. Teachers, nurses, policemen, firemen, and other employees are not being paid, and the U.N. has reported that food supplies in Gaza are equivalent to those among the poorest families in sub-Sahara Africa with half the families surviving on one meal a day. My other request was that American Jewish citizens help to alleviate their plight." It is not clear to me that it is up to Israel to foot the bill for hte Palestinians. Why do not the oil rich Arab nations send money? I thought that the other Arab countries were so concerned about the plight of the Palestinian people. Why do the oil rich Arabs provide money for Palestinian arms while refusing to pay for non-bleeigerant needs? Why does not Carter care about this fact and fail to mention this fact????????????? "The chairman of the group, Rabbi Andrew Straus, then suggested that I make clear to all American Jews that my use of "apartheid" does not apply to circumstances within Israel, that I acknowledge the deep concern of Israelis about the threat of terrorism and other acts of violence from some Palestinians, and that the majority of Israelis sincerely want a peaceful existence with their neighbors. The purpose of this letter is to reiterate these points." Some backtracking by Carter? "We then held hands in a circle while one of the rabbis prayed, I autographed copies of my book as requested, and Chaplain (Colonel) Rabbi Bonnie Koppell gave me a prayer book." Did they sing "Kumbaya?" "I have spent a great deal of my adult life trying to bring peace to Israel, and my own prayer is that all of us who want to see Israelis enjoy permanent peace with their neighbors join in this common effort." Right and because of your bias and hatred, many innocent Jews in Israel will not live to have an adult life: http://www.mfa.gov.il/MFA/Terrorism-%20Obstacle%20to%20Peace/Memorial/2001/Shalhevet%20Tehiya%20Pass
