Captain's Quarters -

Disgusting.

Imperial Rome had "games" in the Coliseum for the bored people. Progress!? Although raising awareness of organ donations has the one redeeming feature.

I'm sorry to jump off subject but you need to know that the Skipper (Alan Kelly) at Barking Moonbat Early Warning System was found dead today.

May God Have Mercy Upon His Soul.

Organ donation itself is a barbaric hoax even without the gutter hoax show. By their fruit ye shall know them. (BTW, this is not a religious objection...the Biblical reference is merely apt.)

The atrocious TV program is the fruit of the consciouness that accepts and promotes organ donations.

They are unnecessary. if person has a sick, diseased organ, they can cleanse and heal its function...that is the way to health, not sticking someone eles's organ into a body that it diseased.

No one who has a diseased organ has only one diseased organ. The body doesn't work that way. By cleansing and healing, the entire body benefits.

Organ transplants require further harm to the body through chemo designed to weaken the immune system. Patients die sometimes from that ordeal.

There is no shortage of organs donation...our organs can donate better health to ourselves when given half a chance.

The poster above me is an idiot. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

I don't see the problem. These folks chose this path of their own free will. Organ donorship seems like a worthy cause. What if 30,000 more people check the "Organ Donor" box on their license because of it? Seems like that might be a good thing.

I'm just sayin.

I'm totally on board with the show's producers. All contestants were consenting adults, as the expression goes. And anything that sends up reality shows is GOOD!

As to donors, give it a couple of years and you'll be able to grow your own from precursor or stem cells harvested from your own blood or fat. Donors are going to go extinct in the near to foreseeable future.

The Dutch "reality" show is no phonier than any other reality show. They're all complete frauds.

And, yes, the second poster is a complete idiot. I only hope she removes herself from the gene pool.

how is this differrent then using these patients (or actors pretending to be) in commercials for the kidney foundation?

I thought it was brilliant

Considering most reality shows are actually scripted but tremendously popular, I applaud the producers of this show for using this format to gain people's attention.

It is a sad commentary on human nature that you have to have a fake show to get people to notice a real problem, though.

According to the BBC news website although the 3 contestants really did need a kidney, they did know beforehand that the show was a hoax.

...."The "donor" in the show was in fact an actress - though the three people vying for an organ were real patients in need of a kidney transplant.

The three knew that The Big Donor Show, which aired on Friday, was not real. The producers say it was made to highlight the shortage of Dutch donors. "

It was a brilliant idea.

And the Dutch show will have a hugely positive effect on organ donation. So bottom line, it was a good idea, regardless of people getting all worked up over it.

If there's a show to be disgusted over it's the horrible Extreme Makeover. Imagine the desperate people who didn't make the cut to get on that show. Hopes raised to dizzying heights, then smashed.

I really enjoyed Kelley's wacko post.

Rywall, I enjoyed your wacko post, too!

By the way, I used to have serious chronic kidney disease for a period of about five years. Sometimes my urine was the color of Coca Cola due to the high blood content...that's how bad it was. A painful kidney biopsy confirmed the diagnosis.

For the past thirty years, I've been free of my kidney disease. I actively got rid of my serious disease by doing what I had alluded to previously. By cleansing the body, the disease went away and has stayed away for 30+ years.

Organ transplants are primitive procedures, but just like the practice of bloodletting was common practice and thoroughly believed in 250 years ago, today many, if not most peole, are blindly sold on the value of organ transplants.

Believing in organ transplants is solid evidence that the believer has little understanding of how the body heals itself.

You believe in it because you think it's a medical miracle. But the REAL miracle is how our bodies can heal themselves when the correct methods are used. A thousand times as many people can be helped through simple practices as will ever be helped with organ transplants.

Furthermore, instead of a scarcity situation, natural cleansing is available to anyone and everyone immediately...there is no waiting list, and no "worrying if I'll get one in time" list.

I think the difference in reality shows is the difference between competing for $1 million (or whatever lesser sum the Dutch could afford) and your life.

Kidney failure is a life & death situation, and I think it's appalling to play games with the hopes of the three contestents that they might be able to have a normal life. Not to mention avoiding the total and final period of death.

Why couldn't they have been told up-front that the producers were attempting to promote organ donations? It would have had the same effect of tugging at viewer's heartstrings. The way it was done, however, all I'm feeling is "ewwwwww" sickness at the barbarity of the Dutch producers and actors, and a sort of mental turning away of the three sick people because I don't want to think about it.

At the least the three sick people should sue the britches off the TV people. If they're gonna have to die, at least they can bankrupt some morally corrupt people before they go, and make sure their names live in infamy for the rest of their sordid existance(s).

Hey, Kelley, how's that second liver working out for you? And that spare heart?

The show concept was flawed at its base. I didn't think they used cancer patients for organ donations, because of the risk of transplanting the cancer as well.

How pathetic that a troll would pull such as stunt in order to sell a quack book. I am talking about the poster denigrating organ donor situations.

Richard & Dixie,

I have both of my kidneys. I didn't need a transplant...the cleansing program made it possible for me to avoid kidney dialysis.

If it had been my liver or my heart, the same type of approach would have done the job as well...organs don't get sick in isolation, so when you're cleansing one, you're helping to cleanse the others.

Dixie,

It's always somewhat of a shock to me when people who are still so wedded to such things as organ donations that they think those who oppose them are pathetic.

After all these years with more people waking up to the utter failure of FDA-approved medicine, and seeing natural remedies out perform them hands down, I guess there are still plenty of people who keep holding on to the proven failure of FDA-approved nonsense.

I don't attribute bad faith to your viewpoint, even though my experiences tell me your opinion is flat out wrong.

It is far better by a factor of 10,000 to heal and cleanse diseased organs rather than to cut them out and stick another one in its place.

It's also not fair to those who are sick to put them through the waiting game as they grow sicker and sicker, especially when they can start the process of healing immediately. To me, the organ game is a cruel hoax...inferior and barbaric
