As a newbie to the list, I'm glad I read through the archives and became
"acquainted" with Dr. Bernarr before receiving his post today purporting to
address my son's juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, otherwise the pain I felt
from his inane comments might have been a bit overwhelming.  Ardeith hit the
nail on the head with her observation that Bernarr blames the patient for
the disease.  As for Bernarr, he couldn't be further from the truth about
the causative agents of my son's disease.  Perhaps if he were ever to come
down (and "down" is a good word to describe this disease) with RA/JRA, he
would then undertake to learn ALL of what little is actually known about it,
instead of promulgating--and passing off as science--a bunch of clap
trap......or just plain crap.
