Luke is a vicious, obsessive psychopath who seemingly has no other purpose
in life but to search out op****tunities to flame me like a lunatic on this
newsgroup, with this trite little flinging around of the word "troll" at
someone he disagrees with. How trenchant and original! And how sad. He
somehow failed to register any indignation when Debs spewed obscenity at a
poster and told him he was mentally ill--that's not "trolling" to Lukey.
The
only "trolling" is tra****ng him in debate and proving that he's an inept
fool, which earns one an indefinite helping of his s****adic belches of
personal bile masquerading as public service. How pathetic, stupid, and
sad--how obviously the product of a spiteful cipher with no life.
He, like other members of his little seventh-grade wolfpack, has no
evident
moral concern for now many people might be misled into assuming that
benzodiazepines are innocuous, wonderful, nonaddictive pass****ts to
relaxation and bliss rather than possible invitations to hellish
dysfunction
and runied lives. No-Luke couldn't care less about such matters, which is
why he hasn't shown his malicious little head up to this point. All he
cares
about is to see if he can find an op****tunity to play "gotcha" with me
because I've shown him to be a misinformed incompetent on numerous
occasions
on this newsgroup.
Let's be clear about something--I have NEVER recommended the use of any
prescription drugs or medical procedures to ANYONE on this group, unlike
Vanny and others irresponsible nonprofessiionals who constantly dole out
pharmacological and medical advice on this newsgroup. I merely warned
people
about the evident risks of casually resorting to benzodiazepines in the
face
of a mountain of scientific evidence of their very real addictive
dangers--evidence that I proffered in copious detail.
As for his latest dopey venture into the realm of pharmacological
"expertise," there are so many scientifc double-blind studies attesting to
the effectiveness of melatonin as a sleep aid that a list of them would
take
up excessive bandwidth. It's not going to knock you out like a big dose of
ativan or klonopin, but neither is it going to cause cognitive deficits,
memory loss, depression, or addiction--none of which Lukey seems to care
about. Based on the timing of his intervention in this discussion, he
could
care less what agonies of hell benzo addicts might suffer. He just doesn't
give a **** about anything but pursuing infantile personal flame wars.
Here's just some of the most recent evidence about the effectiveness of
melatonin as a sleep aid, contrary to Lukey's asinine cherry picking:
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/05/060501113641.htm
I quote from the article: "Researchers from the Divisions of Sleep
Medicine
at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School have found in a
double-blind placebo-controlled clinical study, that melatonin, taken
orally
during non-typical sleep times, significantly improves an individual’s
ability to sleep."
Of course, I would ALWAYS defer to the dopey clown Lukey than to any
serious
scientific study done at Harvard Medical School, just as I would ALWAYS
defer to the dopey clown Lukey on the question of enteric-coated
probiotics
rather than the most esteemed consumer research organizaiton in the world,
Consumer Union, which has the gall to dispute Professor Lukey's opinion
that
enteric-coated probiotics do not do a better job of colonizing good bugs
in
the gut--even though Lukey himself uses one! LOL!
As for interaction problems between Melatonin and prednisone, this would
occur only if one were using very high doses of Melatonin. The usual
effective dose of melatnon as a sleep aid--half a miligram or so--is so
small that it would have no appreciable impact on the effectiveness of the
prednisone taken in the large doses that is typical of Crohn's patients.
This is the danger of Usenet cranks like Lukey and Vanny. Vanny recently
pompously and ignorantly declared that LDN (low-dose naltrexone), a
promising Crohn's treatment, should not be used with Imodium--but she
forgot
to consider that the LDN is taken in such a small dose and acts for such a
short period (4-6 hours) that there is no interaction problem. Moreover,
the
gastroenterologists who conducted the Penn State trial of LDN as a Crohn's
treatment allowed the use of Imodium in their patients, with no diminution
in effectiveness of either drug.
Poor Lukey--wrong and stupid to the last.
Keep at it, Lukey--you'll get me some day, you whining clown! I hope your
spite for me isn't keeping you up at night--if it is, I suggest a bit of
melatonin and some valerian. Nighty night, clown.
