Thanks Doc! Christine UC Class of 01

Response:

Did you ever think she forgot with all the meds she is on and on the illness she has?

The question of kickbacks goes to the issue of credibility. When you’re considering buying a house, you first get it checked out thoroughly by a professional inspector. You could use an inspector your realtor recommends, but remember that your realtor probably has her eyes firmly on her commission, so she may well recommend an inspector she knows will give you a report that makes the house sound fine. It’s far smarter to get an inspector who has no vested interest in either the present transaction or an ongoing relationship with the realtor. Same thing with USANA. Ken only gives endorsements from doctors who are either on the USANA payroll or who have some mutual product-endorsement deal with the company. If he quoted doctors who have absolutely no connection with USANA whatsoever, he’d gain cridibility. None of this is to say that Allsup is necessarily bad. It may be full of brilliant lawyers. But you should reach that conclusion based on information that is objective, fairly measured, and not vulnerable to accusations of conflict of interest.

I don’t post very often in here, but I’m always lurking. I think it’s very sad that someone whose helped ALOT of people is getting picked apart the way she is. I’ve seen it happen in here too many times. If you’re not going to help someone why come in here and make trouble? This tells me some people have nothing better to do with their time. I’m hoping Margie stays here because she is one of the people I’ve seen post to help others and her post do count and they do help. Just my 2 cents.

I’m amazed that Perry seems to have enough time at work to read all the current posts as well as all the ones from 3 years ago — I want *his* job! Hey Sue — how about the ng charter again???? This is supposed to be a support group and I know that over the last 5 years, Margie has been a wonderful source of support for me! Perhaps others here need to remember that. Rebecca

What is Alt.support.crohns-colitis? Alt.support.crohns-colitis was created in early 1994 as a forum where people suffering from ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s Disease, and irritable bowel syndrome can share their everyday struggles with these illnesses, as well as discuss medicines, treatments, surgery, diet, health care providers, related illnesses, and anything else anyone can think of that relates to these diseases.  In other words, this is the online equivalent of a support group, which means that no question is stupid and no condition embarrassing here.  It also means we’re all here to help each other out, so please be nice, be polite, and no flaming. Discussions of all types of medicine- conventional and alternative, Western and Eastern, your Aunt Harriet’s home remedies, whatever- are welcome here; however, any person discussing a potential remedy which he or she also sells must explicitly begin the "Subject" header of their post with the word "AD" or "ADVERTISEMENT" in all caps, regardless of whether or not they profit from such sales.  Spamming is expressly forbidden as violating the rules of netiquette as well as those of this newsgroup.  Finally, please keep in mind that no one knows what causes these illnesses, no one’s come up with a cure, and we need all the help we can get.

Response:

Does it (and should it) really make any difference to anyone whether or not the person giving info about an organisation  that may be of assistance to another gets a kickback?  The ONLY point should be does this mob or do they not provide assistance as suggested by the one passing their name on. Surely if the help is there, and you take advantage of it, there can be no reason for the source of your help getting something in return. Greg – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Last I checked, they also had an informative website at www.allsupinc.com.  There are several people on the ng who have obtained SSD using their services. To All I Promised This Number To:   This is the only reason I am posting right now.  I have promised some of you guys that I would get that number for you for the company that helped me.  I hope they can help you as well.  If it means anything to you, I get NOTHING, NOTHING, NOTHING for passing this number on except the good feeling that I may have helped someone.  So…anyway the name of the company is Allsup Inc and the number I have for them is 1-800-854-1418.  They are open from 8am to 5pm Central Time.  I wish you all well and I hope this helps.  Many of you are still on my prayer list.  Some of you I have come to dearly care about.  So stay well, and God bless.

Response:

At this very moment I’m very upset, what’s going on the group and especially a very good sweet person being under attack, I’m proud to say she’s my friend!!!. I haven’t posted for a long time to the NG, though I’ve been following the posts and responses, especially, this thread and the other one were Margie has been attacked several times for no reason at all!! For some strange reason I thought this was supposed to be a supportive group for people who have UC/CD their families and to share our personal experience. As we know example: one treatment may work for one person, the next person it won’t work at all, that’s not a reason to totally disrepect, and say nasty things. I totally don’t understand why all these attacks, flaming wars etc, are coming from and why they are happenning. I’m asking please respect each other, we’re a very big family, some of us know each other since the NG started!!! For the new people who are joining the NG, give us some time, to get to know us, much better!!! I totally agree with Susan!!! Margie has been a good, supportive friend, personally I have talked to her several times on the phone, while I was admitted in hospital with a small/large bowel obstruction, last year, away from my family, friends…she would call, to see how I was doing, some days, I was feeling so bad, she was always there for me if I needed to talk or cry!!!she’s the sweetest person you want to have for a friend. I have built great relationships with other friends too, on the NG. Margie, needs this support group & her friends, too support her whether she’s feeling better, having a good or bad day and share information as some of you may know with this disease you might be feeling great one day and the next day everything goes down hill!!! As far as I know Margie posted this message, in the intentions of helping someone in need, her intention wasn’t to start a war, or make people upset etc…that’s not her nature!!! At this point, whether you’re a Christian etc…Crohn’s can attack anyone regardless of your age, etc…I would like to believe that in the near future they will find a cure, for this miserable disease… Margie, please don’t go!!! We need you!!! You know how you can reach me, if you need to talk…don’t let this people get to you… For me, I can also count how many times, I’ve been in the hospital, than home and there’s an overnight bag ready with all the things I will need when I get to ER and what I will need to during my stay!!! For the people who want to cause trouble, hurt other people’s feelings, or cause even more stress, please I suggest to you STOP!!! it’s not worth it!!! Margie is a sweet person and a very good friend to have!!! Love Tania

But when I could no longer work under any circumstances, I finally went through Allsup, due to a TV commercial I saw, and they handled it all!  It took almost 2 years, but it sure was worth it!  I think they are wonderful!  Well, let me get off my soap box here and let you all get on about your business.  Ken, I wish you wellness.

Navid if you would I would appreciate it if you would stop on Margie.  She is a friend I know and talk to other than the computer and as for your question, yes she will and she does for all of us even me who is not a Christian.  So please leave her alone.  She really needs this group and is feeling a little better but she is in the hospital more than she is at home and deals with some very serious problems of the disease.  Thank you for understanding.   She needs support not to be upset or chased away from the group.  Thanks again UM MOM Susan
