Barbara: I agree with your response to Ron Amos 100%. Key phrases in his letter are a giveaway that he's probably interested in something other than helping PWPs. "incredible break through" If it's so "incredible" and it's really a "break through" why hasn't it been reported in the press and by the medical community? "for several people" Does this mean that only a few select PWPs out of the one-million-plus in this country will benefit from this? Doesn't sound like much of a "break through" to me if it only helps a few. "that time may be now" Sure, and my two-year-old granddaughter is going to win the Texas Lottery and give me $50 million. "for those friends interested" Usually, this is the place where I learn about the great deal my "friend" Ron wants to offer me and how much it costs. "I will share 'Two Exciting Testimonials' from two gentlemen who are experiencing tremendous long-term results." How generous of Ron to "share'' these with us. Note that he --- like most sales people promoting questionable products --- is a heavy user of adjectives. A big question: If whatever Ron is hawking is such a "break through" in the treatment of a disease as complex and devistating as Parkinson's, why does he have only two testimonials? An even better question: Does he have any documentation about laboratory testing under controlled circumstances. . . any documentation about testing in humans . . . any articles written by medical professionals. (NOTE: Ron, if you're reading this, I'll play editor for a few seconds. My rule of thumb: If I'm planning to use a word several times in a letter or story, I'd better spell the damn thing right. In my dictionary, "breakthrough" is one word. Minor point, but I'm sure our librarian, Marjorie Moorefield would agree. It's annoying to the reader.) Don't look now, but I bet in the near future you can find Ron showing "before" and "after" videos in an infomercial on cable or satellite TV. Try searching for it around 3:00 or 4:00 am.
