		<description>[...] Next up, Maloney links to a number of &#8220;Myer&#8217;s Minions&#8221;, arbitrarily picking 12 (several of which I hadn&#8217;t even seen until just moments ago) and calling them &#8220;The Dirty Dozen&#8221;. I presumed they would all be &#8220;simpy&#8221; copy and paste jobs of PZ&#8217;s post. That would make sense since he apparently has excluded FTSOS from the list, right? Well, most are repeats, but a couple clearly are not. One is Dr. Novella&#8217;s post which goes to length to refute Maloney&#8217;s bull and misrepresentations. Another is A Hot Cup of Joe. This one gets cited twice, once for a recount of PZ&#8217;s post. The second time, however, goes to length to address Maloney&#8217;s malarkey. [...]</description>

		<description>Too simple:

1) You are a licensed naturopath. Which isn&#039;t the same thing as a doctor. You cannot simply call yourself a doctor, but are limited by law to using some form of &quot;naturopath&quot; or &quot;naturopathic&quot; with the word doctor. You did not go to a &quot;medical school,&quot; you went to a naturopathic school. The professors there were, very likely, not physicians or surgeons. They were quacks -a.k.a. naturopaths.

2) You cannot prescribe anything that a customer of yours couldn&#039;t already buy over the counter. Including hormones and antibiotics.

3) You cherry pick your data. Dr. Novella stuck his metaphorical boot in your metaphorical ass on this one.

4) I&#039;ve posted not a single lie about you. You deceive your customers into thinking that you hold the same weight and authority of the very profession you claim you are opposed to. You are a hypocrite and a liar. You are not a physician, which is the commonly understood definition of a &quot;doctor.&quot; You do not hold a doctorate, which is the academically understood definition of doctor. Instead, you&#039;ve exploited a loophole in a legislation that was very likely manipulated by a lobbying arm and pulled over the eyes of the ignorant in a wool of pseudoscience.

Oh. And I am far from angry. Indeed, I&#039;m more and more amused with every passing day at the spectacle you&#039;re making of yourself and your &quot;profession.&quot; Moreover, I agree that misinformed people are not harmless. Which is why I&#039;ve chosen to be a part of those who inform.

Pseudoscientific nonsense like naturopathy, homeopathy and other &quot;alternative&quot; medical approaches do cause harm. At the least to people&#039;s wallets. At the most, to their lives.</description>

		<description>Simple:

1) I am a licensed doctor.  I went to medical school, took exams, and got a state license.    
2) I prescribe a variety of drugs including hormones and antibiotics.
3) I have discussed the &quot;cherry picking&quot; nonsense at length on Dr. Novella&#039;s site.  
4) Lying about me and then posting more lies about me doesn&#039;t make you right.  Please take the time to read my replies at PZ Myers&#039; site.  Angry, misinformed people are not harmless and you are part of a mob.</description>
