But how do credentials help you other than to make you gullible when someone shows you their credentials? I am not saying I am correct and you should take a bunch of supplements, it is just some hypothesis.
I have time because it is my work and there is a pandemic that has given me the free time. I am sorry you do not have the interest in something that gives you passion so it looks like "mania" to you.
Edit: and just to add, credentials are to make the audience aware of the context and bias of the presenter, not to validate them. A virologist, biochemist, infectious disease specialist, nutritionist, epidemiologist, public health employee, and undergrad aspiring biology major have different perspectives and understanding of the domains involved. Witholding that context (with hostility) should always be suspect.
Sorry, I just do not want to post my credentials for privacy reasons.
Asking you now, are you concerned about peroxynitrite formation and are you doing anything to control it? Like IV Vitamin C?

Talking to an MD about IV Sodium Ascorbate, now he's really going to think that you are crack pot. I trust Linus Pauling more than I trust anyone else, but still.... :-)
My wife's oncologist has a degree, but I had spend 2 hours arguing with her before she realized that she was making a fundamental error in diagnosing my wife's cancer, a fundamental error she had been making for the last 10 years.
My wife has a PhD in Biochemistry, the Oncologist was a well known and highly respected physician, and I was just a guy with a Computer Science degree, but I was the only one to figure it out.
Suspect of what? What bias? I am just talking about science. Bu this is why I am here, to get away from all the credential posturing in academia. You are an MD, are you telling me you cannot commiserate with me on that point?
I stopped looking at credentials the first time I was awed by a new student. It was less about what he knew and more about how he thought. I will treat you with the same respect. I do not care if you have an MD.
This is the last time I will respond to this topic of credentials. If I was saying something stupid you would be attacking me on the science, but instead you are looking to qualify credentials, and that is my problem with health sciences and why there has been such poor progress in the field over the last 30 years.
