   I can answer theoretical differential diagnosis on some of these cases. Any ideas on the rest? Because the Multiple Sclerosis thing is kind of nifty if true. Okay, I know it's retarded (Cancer of the Kidney is not Hyperthyroidism which is an entirely different disease and often not caused by thyroid cancers) but it would be nice to simply assemble a rebuttal to these in case "some moron expects us to believe them".

   Also I have been watching House on a marathon session since morning and it may have fried my brain.

   I see a website hot on claims that they have evidence, but no actual evidence on display. File under "argument from personal testimony" and disregard until verified, impartial clinician who's actually seen the relevant test results, documentation and radiography comments on them on the record. Do the clinicians they cite actually exist? Did those clinicians do and say what's claimed of them? If so, are they impartial and acting with honesty and integrity? Honestly, I'm not swallowing a word of the crap on that site, if any of it was true the publicity would be immense.

   Apparently it's one of those "books that's doing the rounds in apologetic circles".

   Also no doctor will claim hyperthyroid from a nephrotic cancer. I think it's a typo. I am trying to find the book online for my e-reader but cannot find anything.

   Honestly, it's God of The Gaps bullshit at best and outright fraud at worst. You and I both know that mistakes happen with sample taking, labelling and testing, plus diagnosis isn't exactly a precise science (despite what House would have us believe). I mean, I've known corpses have the wrong name label stuck on them. Compared to that, a little bottle of blood or an x-ray slide? Pfff.
