tellitlikeitis··on Type 2 diabetes cure, extreme diet
Since you claim Max Gerson was "a complete quack", does that mean that people who were helped by following the advice of eating fresh fruits and vegetables to the exclusion of other foods (which almost nobody does) were just coincindentally made healthier? And we should dismiss that advice because you don't like Gerson?

What would you recommend their diet consist of if they want to prevent ill health or gain health?

Ignore diet because Gerson was a quack? And just hope they don't get sick? And if they do, come to you for you to select what drugs you deem to have the least conflict of interest at the time?

Do healthy and sick people a favor, and keep your "intellectual" clown bullying from encouraging them to ignore the daily factors that accumulate to become their health or ill health over years.

What a stupidly irrelevant question.

Haven't seen this movie, but your question is more online group think pessimism and reluctance to take responsibility for our actions and lifestyles.

What about the movie, apparently covering diet and nutrition, makes you think it has anything to do with a belief system based on stronger dilutions of chemicals having a greater effect than a weaker dilution?

Seriously, some of the questions asked by geeks online leave the ordinary reader wondering if there's a herd of you in a room high-fiving each other after your asinine remarks. Carry on with your groupthink if you must, but it's getting old.

This is lame-brain hand-waving dismissal in order to continue being lazy and essentially helpless in our personal health.

Doctors make standardized dietary recommendations that are not enough to protect and heal against lifestyle diseases. Compare the 30% fat American Heart Association diet to the Dr. Dean Ornish, Dr. McDougall, or Dr. Esselstyn diets that recommend 10% fat and whole foods, not products marketed as 'low fat' snacks and meals. The latter diets are clinically shown to reverse heart disease, essentially heal Type II diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and many other diseases. There is ongoing research by McDougall into multiple sclerosis, based on past great success with the low fat Swank diet.

The standard dietary advice is given largely because people can't make enough changes to even follow that, much less make the effort to have every single meal conform to something as seemingly 'radical' as a 10% fat diet.

So yes, arn, "doctors recommend diet and exercise all the time", but it's not to the extent necessary to bring about meaningful results.

But carry on with your dismissal of anything that doesn't make you feel good (mentally, physically, or morally) as "tin foil conspiracies". And follow the herd and make sure others can take care of you (and pay for you) when you get sick.

Of course it makes sense. These are mentally and spiritually ill boys who grew up on their computers, stuck in their own head, and likely without a strong father figure. Their development is more screwed up than output from a drunkenly coded compiler.

Trying to pretend they're girls makes perfect sense.
