What I find interesting about your post is that you find it impossible

test his theory, no matter what. The only real tes would mean time of survival following a standardized diagnosis, which is just what the
whole
oncology field is lacking---and I'm afraid it is on purpose.
What I find interesting about George's message is that he evidently has
no idea at all of the nature of this Clapp fellow's business and background.
I have not studied it in depth, having little time for foolishness, but
I have learned this much in about ten minutes:
1. Clapp promotes medical nostrums. He is not a medical doctor. He is a lawyer (kyrie eleison!). He holds a PhD, for whatever it's worth, from
an outfit called Galien University Tutorial College (mail-order degrees, anyone?). It was formerly known as Galien College of Natural Healing. It was based upon his "years of research" into what he's selling.
I'll bet that I can buy a PhD just as good as his within 24 hours -- if someone else would pay the fee. George?
2. He is covered on the Quackwatch website: http://www.quackwatch.org/00AboutQuackwatch/altseek.html
or
http://tinyurl.com/t15m
3. It does not appear that Clapp offers much of anything that other
medical scammers don't.
Mostly eye of newt and toe of frog, I think.
Since George claims to believe that there is a purposeful lack of standardized diagnoses (whose purpose, why, what diagnoses?), if I interpret his turgid language correctly, perhaps he will undertake to correct this omission. Standing by.....

Ok, so he is a quack. But that is not what I was addressing. Even
so-called 'certified' procedures remain poorly evaluated. The money is in the treatment, NOT the result.
and now you have hit the heart of problem with medicine in America, one word, money, my quack doctor a Urologist out of the medical school, Univ of Chicago, the only thing this quacke wants to do with me is get me in the OR and cut my prostate out, he
wanted to do a biopsy, I told no and had an MRI, results, no signs of cancer, if this clown takes me into the OR that's a $20,000.00 day for him
