I have read here that you called a few offices yelling at people and acting
like an ass...I don't need that from you or anyone else. I didn't call your
office to discuss this...you brought it here, so lets continue it here. And
why should it matter who I am anyway? That approach always comes up when
someone is feeling a bit uncomfortable. You have put yourself into the
public eye, with your web sites and publications. I have no such desire for
notoriety. If you don't want to deal with anonymous people, stay off the
internet.

Okay, I'll take your word on that, but every example in your book went
through a single lab...the same lab that seems to be associated with
virtually every one of these types of cases Given your proximity to other
fine pathology labs, just seemed odd that your work would go through one
many miles away.

....and again with the "I have done it, bet you haven't" crap...are you
really that insecure that you need to believe anyone who disagrees with you
is stupid? Grow up...you are acting like a 6 year old!

You are right, I don't give my colleagues automatic respect simply because
we share the same educational degree. And I also agree with you that a good
number of our dental colleagues are unconcerned and uneducated about many
important topics. While we agree on these points, I don't think all that
much of anyone who would just assume anyone who has a dissenting view from
his is stupid, greedy, or unconcerned. Since you seem unable to have any
exchange without condemning others as stupid, greedy, or unconcerned, and
devoted a significant portion of your book to this subject, I must add you
to the list of colleagues I hold in low regard. Your continued reliance on
hyperbole and insults suggests that you are lacking in confidence about your
views, as you are always on the attack...assuming no one has tread the same
ground as you.

I have asked you some very simple questions, and you are unwilling to
answer, so I will ask again. You indicate root canal therapy as a danger,
yet
I have looked through your web site, your published work, your book, and
find no case studies that offer conclusive support for your position. Many
of the examples in your book appear little different from the kind of
testimonials I see on late night TV infomercials. A lot of hype but no
substance. I find little or no reason to bother with someone who takes a
strong stance on a subject, and then uses case studies that don't support
that stance. Your dramatic photo essay about a man's fall into poor health
following root canal therapy was undoubtedly very dramatic and influential
for the casual viewer, but it was a botched procedure. It was done wrong. In
my opinion, using that as your foremost example on the evils of endodontic
care is deceptive and misleading.

If you don't have an answer to my question, just ignore it and we'll both
move on. I really don't want you to waste your time telling me how stupid I
am yet again. I get your point. Otherwise, tell me where I can find case
studies that support your theories. I'd love to see them.
