I'm disappointed to read this wonderful health forum and have to sift through all of the political slamming to gain feedback about the article. The internet is full of political forums. Keep forums as they are intended. Having said that....

I am affiliated with several people in the implantable pacemaker and defib industry. Since I have a parent with an implantable pacemaker, I am very interested in keeping up with the current technology. Those I know in the industry say that the engineers are truly the best and brightest . Their main focus has always been about protecting patient privacy and their lives.

not a real focused group here today, eh? No comments on preventability of heart disease?

I've met Cheney. He has a great sense of humor.

Aw, golly gee, folks, lighten up, huh?

By mentioning Cheney's name, the article left an opening wide enough to drive a city bus through, and a couple of people got behind the wheel. Were their remarks unfunny or inappropriate? Depends on your perspective, I guess. There's quite a variety of perspectives on this site. One thing's for sure: this is neither the first nor the last time that political incorrectness will rear its ugly head at mercola.com. Get over it. State your rebuttal, collect your sense of humor and move on.

That's it. Nothing to see here, folks. Move on, move on.

When did advocating murder become socially acceptable?

just relized that they can find or pinpoint me anytime they want now.
no place for me to hide when they come for me. Well 10+ years agp they gave me 2 years to live. With doctors like Mercola and Wolverton and others and the ability to read I plan to live another 27 years and hope to wake up and decide how much longer i'd like to live.

Darn, we still have to deal with Mr Chaney. I was hoping this might be used against him. It is something I had not even thought of.
