| The Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhD FAQ |
| Version 3.55, March, 2004 |
---------------------------------

Introduction
------------
New people arriving in sci.med.cardiology (s.m.c.) are often
puzzled and troubled by the vitriol directed at Dr. Andrew
B. Chung, MD/PhD
(Dr. Chung) and want to better understand the reasons for
the hatred that some folks have for him. This FAQ
(Frequently Asked Questions) does provide some truthful
answers (there are versions of this FAQ put out by
detractors that are useful only for comparison
purposes). All answers given herein can be
independently verified either via Google or by using
the third-party resources at
http://www.heartmdphd.com/profile.asp. This FAQ has
been posted in the past in a manner that permits
authentication. The veracity of both the posting email
address and domain name can be independently confirmed
via Google (http://makeashorterlink.com/?G5EF42A77).

The FAQ is arranged in typical FAQ form, i.e. a series
of questions followed by simple answers. For those who
don't wish to read the whole FAQ, the following summary
is provided.

Summary
-------
Ds. Chung is a well-respected licensed cardiologist, who is
board-certified in internal medicine and cardiology
(cardiovascular medicine). In this capacity, he responds
truthfully to medical questions on s.m.c. He does this
out of sincere altruism when he has spare time outside
his private cardiology practice, where he sees patients
as a cardiologist. If that was all he were, there would
probably be no controversy.

The controversy arises from Dr. Chung being Christian, in
particular:

o He continues to publicly profess that Christ is his Lord
and Savior.

o He freely helps people to lose weight in an altruistic
Christian fashion (http://www.heartmdphd.com/wtloss.asp).

o When attacked on the above issues, he turns the other
cheek in a Christian manner.

o When challenged about his faith in Christ, he witnesses
steadfastly without hatred
(http://makeashorterlink.com/?A5B9214A7).

o When insulted for his faith in Christ, he openly calls it
a blessing.

o He remains truthful, as a servant of Christ, despite being
libeled and defamed (http://www.heartmdphd.com/libel.asp).

o Other Christians have affirmed Dr. Chung's strong faith
in Christ.

The above lists only the highlights of Dr. Chung's Christian
behavior on s.m.c. If anything, it understates it.
Everything can be verified in the Google archives. He
witnesses to all at http://www.heartmdphd.com/healer.asp.

People arrive in this group looking for help. Dr. Chung has
graciously provided this over several years
(http://makeashorterlink.com/?H10A13167). Dr. Chung
consistently demonstrates the breadth of his knowledge and
experience. This is archived many times over in Google.

-------------------------------------
Dt. Andrew B. Chung, MD/PhD is a licensed doubly board-
certified cardiologist practicing cardiovascular
medicine in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. His signature
contains a link to http://www.heartmdphd.com, which is
consistent with his posts and qualifications.

2. What is the Charter of s.m.c.?
---------------------------------
The purpose of this newsgroup is to establish electronic
media for communication between health care providers,
scientists and other individuals with interest in the
cardiovascular field. Such communications will provide quick
and efficacious means to exchange information and knowledge,
and offer problems to solutions.

The sci.med.cardiology newsgroup will welcome participants
who are health care providers, trainees, researchers,
students or recipients with interest in the field of
cardiovascular problems."

(ftp://ftp.uu.net/usenet/news.announce.newgroups/sci/sci.me-
d.cardiology)

3. Aren't Christian discussions covered by the charter?
-------------------------------------------------------
They are if these discussions represent "communication
between health care providers, scientists and other
individuals with interest in the cardiovascular field." It
should be noted that Christ remains a healthcare provider
(http://www.heartmdphd.com/healer.asp), who has demonstrated
an interest in the cardiovascular field when He
"resuscitated" Lazarus.

4. So Dr. Chung is Christian... What's the problem
with that?
------------------------------------------------------------
-
Some people are fiercely anti-christian.

5. But it's just a little "tag line" in his
signature, isn't it?
------------------------------------------------------
----------
Yes it is. But it offends those who are anti-christian.

6. But I'm a Christian too! Should I worry?
-------------------------------------------
No. You have Christ's promise of eternal life and the
unimaginable riches of God's kingdom.

7. Well, why not just ignore his Christian nature?
--------------------------------------------------
Anti-christians are unable to do that.

8. But isn't it wonderful that Dr. Chung offers this free
medical information out of the goodness of his heart?
----------------------------------------------------------
God is wonderful.

9. How does a cardiologist have so much time to spend
on Usenet?
------------------------------------------------------
----------
God makes time for those whom He blesses.

10. Won't challenging Dr. Chung drive people away?
--------------------------------------------------
Do not concern yourself with the free will of others.

11. Doesn't the "fault" for all those posts lay with those
who challenge Dr. Chung?
------------------------------------------------------------
--
God uses anti-christians for His purposes. These posts are
according to His will.

12. Why do I see so many "ad hominem" attacks?
----------------------------------------------
This is how anti-christian folks are identified so they can
be culled from His flock.

13. I'm sick of seeing all this!
-------------------------------
Not really a question unless you ask yourself "why?"

14. What is the Two Pound Diet (TPD) approach?
----------------------------------------------
See: http://www.heartmdphd.com/wtloss.asp

15. Is discussion of the Two Pound Diet "on topic"?
---------------------------------------------------
Yes. It cures metabolic syndrome (MetS) which is a condition
that leads to higher rates of cardiovascular morbidity and
mortality.

16. Who is Mu?
-------------
A Christian (http://makeashorterlink.com/?S5A631E57).

17. What is Mu's role?
----------------------
To serve God's will and purpose.

18. Who is Steve?
-----------------
An anti-christian (http://makeashorterlink.com/?A20055A37).
He authors the untrue versions of this FAQ
(http://makeashorterlink.com/?S10252097).

19. What is Steve's role?
-------------------------
To serve God's will and purpose.

20. Who is Bob?
---------------
A food worshipper (http://makeashorterlink.com/?T48662E57).
He is obsessively drawn to the 2PD approach
(http://www.heartmdphd.com/libel.asp). He is also obsessed
with this FAQ (http://makeashorterlink.com/?R2C134097) and
can be seen writing to himself about it.

21. What is Bob's role?
----------------------
To serve God's will and purpose.

22. Who is Stephen?
-------------------
An anti-christian Jew who believes that "Jesus is no more
the Messiah than Elvis Presley"
(http://makeashorterlink.com/?J1B623B67). He is so taken
with Dr. Chung's Christian beliefs that he is now a
cyberstalker (http://makeashorterlink.com/?Y25611B67) by his
own admitted actions. In his continued cyberstalking of Dr.
Chung, he has learned that Dr. Chung has a long history of
reporting those who would willfully trespass against others
(http://makeashorterlink.com/?V28141097). A few words to the
wise can be found at http://www.heartmdphd.com/stalking.asp
in this regard.

23. What is Stephen's role?
---------------------------
To serve God's will and purpose.

24. Is this spam?
-----------------
No, this is a FAQ.

25. Who is the author of this FAQ?
----------------------------------
There are multiple contributors and they choose to remain
anonymous although they respect Dr. Chung's choice not to be
anonymous.

26. Do Dr. Chung's posts fit the definition of "spam" as
some allege?
-----------------------------------------------------------
----------
No. Spam on Usenet are stand-alone advertisements and not
unique responses to the posts of others.

27. Are Mu, John, CarolT, and Dr. Chung the same person as
some allege?
------------------------------------------------------------
-----------
No. Mu, John, CarolT, and Andrew are 4 distinctly different
Christian individuals.
