I read this and my jaw dropped.
SF says in his MWO farewell announcement, "I believe that it is not only important to try and help those who now suffer from alcoholism, but to also try to continue to help all the future generations who may end up with AUD.
When one has suffered with this disease to the point of near death, such as I have, and survived, one might begin to think about how this genetically passed disease might cause the same type of pain and destruction to his/her children, grandchildren, and so on. Thus, I remain passionate about passing along new information that I come across to others; I just do not think that the medication section of this forum is the place to do so as a result of baclofen being the primary point of discussion and passion for others."
For anyone who thinks this guy is sincere, he practically hunted me down to sing my praises and meet my wife who had recovered using baclofen. To me this is someone who is devious and deceptive.
I have to ask myself these questions. When he was heaping praise on me over Skype a year or so ago, was he of this view? If he was then he was playing me for a fool Even as he was doing it I felt embarrassed and uncomfortable. Why is he so down on baclofen? He can read here that people on this forum have used it and that it works. Is he saying we are all liars? What is his opinion of Ameisen's experience, the book he wrote, the evidence of the doctors who use this for alcoholic patients? Does he consider this to be some gigantic fraud being perpetrated on a world which has at its fingertips all sorts of other medications which work?
How many of his favourite medications have developed a following here because they actually work, now, in the present, and not in some hoped for future which never arrives? Nal, Campral, benzos, Topa, Gapapentin... this list goes on of "not so great" drugs which kinda work for some people.
Read the book, read what Ameisen actually says about these drugs and the indepth explanations he gives as to why scientifically baclofen is different from any other drug (pretty much).
What is this guy on?
And, no, I don't think I am paranoid, but I do think this guy has some kind of agenda. I still haven't figured out what it is.
