You did not quote that sentence, because it validates what Lawson said: the suspicion was that the heart attack was an effect of the poisoning. > Unless Chopra is lying, it's quite likely to be true.

But nobody has claimed TM prevents heart attacks caused by poisoning, either. The person who was lying was you. You could not have read the sentence you quoted without also reading the following sentence, "Poisoning was suspected." That's what Lawson pointed out, and you denied it, knowing your denial was false. > Please keep in mind Judy frequently misrepresents what others say Judy never intentionally misrepresents anything. You got caught lying outright, on the record, which I quoted. Exactly how could I be misrepresenting what you said when I quoted it verbatim? In my experience, the last resort of liars is to claim the person who exposes and documents their lies is a liar. In Vaj's case, when I've caught him in a lie, he's typically accused me of lying without ever providing an example of what he claims is a lie from me. This instance is no exception. It's a desperate attempt to distract attention from his own lie. , > (my posts are no exception) what they mean and/or what she believes > their underlying motivations are.
