RosieS57 When it comes to religion where religious adherents proclaim knowledge 'by faith alone', that in and of itself, is irrational. Knowing by faith is itself an oxymoron, so therefore it makes sense to fight one oxymoron with another. In addition, there can be...

RosieS57 'We' and 'Them'? I think there is a lot of confusion over these terms. Let me put it bluntly -- those you call 'them' are being gracious enough to allow the speaking of English here. This land was Amer-Ind and Hispanic well before any English speakers...

RosieS57 The author does not know what fibromyalgia is. It is a chronic pain condition characterized by widespread bi-lateral pain and lack of restorative sleep. No diet can give the FM'er restorative sleep. The widespread pain is NOT caused by dietary habits. A...

RosieS57 Well, FM and CFS are two distinct conditions. As an FM'er, if I am having a flare I cancel the appointments for that day because I just can't go on a flare day. I can never predict good or bad days, so I do find myself sometimes canceling at the last...
