The Central Scrutinizer – Case

[Darat]

Well I'll be damned. Turns out the English word "quack" comes from the Dutch "kwaksalver" -- seller of salve.

Isn't this the great thing about this forum - you're always learning something new? For anyone else interested the etymology from the OED is:

[a. early mod.Du. (16th c.) quacksalver (Kilian; mod.Du. kwakzalver), whence also G. quacksalber, Sw. qvacksalfvare: the second element is f. salf, zalf salve, ointment, and the first is commonly regarded as the stem of quacken (mod.Du. kwakken) to quack.
On this view a quacksalver is one who ‘quacks’ or boasts about the virtues of his salves; it has however been suggested that quack- or kwak- may mean ‘to work in a feeble bungling fashion’ (Franck).]

Kvak probably comes from the sound a frog makes

Croak? Isn't that what their patients do?

See my point?

[The Central Scrutinizer]

One of the NCH member floated a case at www.nch.ipbfree.com


http://www.nch.ipbfree.com/index.php?showtopic=643




This case was cured (?) with homeopathic medicine. What steps can be taken to prove such type of cases with Double Blind Test? Homeopathy believe to treat so many cases like this? Please suggest a proper protocol?


P.S: The case has now been deleted by MRC_Hans ( a prominent figure at this forum )

Dr. A,

Could you please post a disclaimer to let everyone know that this thread is not about me? Or, even better, could you start a new thread proclaiming your love for me? Perhaps a rundown of any gay fantasies you have about me? That would get me excited, if you know what I mean!

Try reading what The Central Scrutinizer has posted in this thread, and you may be able to answer this question for yourself.

As I said, it's interesting that you only got around to starting this thread about a week after the original post on the NCH forum was deleted, and on the same day that "The Central Scrutiniser" on the NCH board noticed that it had been deleted and complained. And it's also interesting that you still had access to the content of the deleted post, although, as you say, you are not an administrator there.

Your capability to speak English varies wildly.

Almost like you are different persons. Many different persons.

Surely you are not suggesting that, gasp..., the MAS Pestilence might be ... shock horror .. dishonest?

How could you suggest such a thing?
