Title: CH Article & Snake Oil Salesman
Post by Jeepgun on Jul 1^st, 2004, 9:56pm

This evening, I received a call from this fellow:

Harrison, W E
641 7th St
Bristol, TN 37620-2329
(423) 968-3268

He mentioned that he had seen the article about CH that appeared in the Pittsburgh newspaper. I asked how he'd obtained my number and he said that he called Information for it. Fair enough... I asked him if he had cluster headaches, and he said that he used to have headaches, and that they were probably caused by too much caffeine. (At this point, I was thinking, "WTF???" ) Anyway, as he stammers and yammers on, he starts telling me about this seaweed supplement that he's selling, and then begins prattling on about the immune system and its decline, and about how eating fatty acids also causes headaches.

I told him that my immune system is in fine shape, and that I've only been truly sick one time in my entire life, and that the only thing I've found that helps my cluster headaches is Verapamil and injectable Imitrex. I also told him that I appreciated the fact that he was in business and trying to earn a living, but that I would appreciate it if he didn't call me anymore. At that point, he abruptly said, "Okay. Bye."

What the FVCK??? At first, I thought he was a fellow clusterhead, so I was happy for the chance to possibly provide some kind of help or advice, only to realize that this fucking scumbag got my name out of a newspaper and considered me a gullible mark for his fucking snake oil bullshit! >:( (actually, that's probably insulting to snakes!)

GRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!

He I did not get a voice mail, he answered [smiley=laugh.gif] I told him off

Fuck with one clusterhead and you have fucked with one too many.

I told him that if I heard he call one more person with clusterhead aches that he would live to regreat it.

MSM is the supplement that he's selling, got an e-mail 2 years ago from one of those guys, told him to "Shove it up your ass you fuckin' snake." You are welcome to borrow that line if needed. ;;D

See I'm a little more evil than the rest of you. I say we all agree this is going to work, ask him to mail an order form and we are going to start with an order of $6000.
Then never contact him again once we have the form, being in sales I know that this guy will get a woody waiting for his big sale to come in. It will be on his mind constantly........then it never happens...aaaaawwwww.
There are other ways to mess with these people.

What I always try to keep in mind is this:

If someone has suffered from CH themselves, they would never dream of 'selling' something to other clusterheads. Don't think I've encountered anyone on this board that wouldn't "pass the cure salt" with no strings attached if they could help me, or someone else out.

So, iff'n you're being called from a guy with the smoothest rap in the world but there's a price tag, give him Johnny's number immediately :)

P.S. Oh, and Jayne, did I tell you how nice you look today? What a fabulous writer you are and I think you dropped some rose petals--here, lemme get 'em for ya! ;;D

Way to go, Gena! [smiley=laugh.gif] Hang in there.

LMAO, everyone. This a$$hole sounds like a mouthbreathing inbred hillbilly, on top of being a sneaky, misinformed, slimy bastard.

By the way, he said that his headaches were caused by too much caffeine. WTF??? In the case of tension headaches, the very thing that knocks them out IS caffeine. The more I think about this fucking idiot, the more annoyed I become. >:(

Umm.......

Thomas,

Pardon my ignorance, but What is MSM? I haven't run accross this one yet.

If it's good enough to buy a dime bag at a time then maybe I'll just have to join Luke and sample some of it.

MSM: Masturbatory Sado-Masochism? I suppose that would truly be "self abuse." ;;D

I love this one.....How I wish he would post.....

You can find about 150 ebay auctions for this crap. Just type in MSM. Here is one my favorite descriptions:

Best MSM Powder, 250 Grams Each - Doctor's Best

Best MSM Powder supplies Lignisul MSM (methylsulfonylmethane), a naturally-occuring source of organic sulfur that is easily absorbed and used by the body. MSM occurs throughout nature as part of the global "sulfur cycle." Formed in the upper atmosphere, MSM falls to earth in rain water and is then absorbed from the soil by plant life. MSM found in foods such as fresh picked fruits and vegetables is largely lost during food processing, storage and cooking. This makes it difficult to obtain substantial amounts of MSM from dietary sources.

MSM supports organ and joint function by donating sulfur for maintenance of healthy connective tissue. MSM helps keep skin, hair and nails healthy by donating sulfur for products of keratin, a fibrous protein. Supports joint function.

Suggested Use: As a dietary supplement, take 1 to 4 grams (1000-4000 mg) daily in divided doses of 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon. Mix with 8 ounces water or juice. Yada yada yada :o

Makes ya think; don't it? ::)

When I lived in Japan, there was a Corella (sp?) boom. It sounded plausible to me, and I have a problem with my external ear canals that has bothered me for many years. (Jungle Rot is the "scientific" name for it!) LOL! Anyway, I started taking this crap, gulping down those pills by the handful. That stuff didn't do a damn thing. (Well, it helped my wallet lose weight, but other than that, I mean...) ::)

Anyway, as I said before, I'm sure the above listed gentleman would appreciate hundreds of phone calls from interested, potential customers. ;;D

Last night, I received a prank call at about 1:30 a.m.
I was awake and messing around on the computer when I received a call. I picked up the phone and a young woman asked if Frank was there. She said her name was Jessica, and I could hear some girls giggling and laughing in the background. When I asked, "Jessica? Jessica who?" She replied, "Jessica's pvssy." :o I was a little surprised at that, as you can well imagine, and hung up the phone. Although I've been on intimate terms with that portion of the female anatomy, that's certainly the first time I've ever had one actually TALK to me! ;;D

You know what they say about some people's kids Frank...

You can dress them up, but you just can't take them out.
