The red flag for this was the 91%. No one should take that seriously.

Who is surprised by this? Hasn't the AHA attacked pretty much EVERY naturopathic and nutritional intervention that has ever come out of real drug-disinterested cardiovascular research? - lying about margarine, sugar, w6 PUFAs, red meat, eggs, dairy and processed cereals; lying about cholesterol, statins and beta blockers; lying about supplementary magnesium and fish oil; lying about cardiac risk from vaccines; lying about the value of chelation?

Thank you! I also noticed that some of the prominent plant based doctors (MG) jumped on this report but one prominent meat eating guy (MM) debunked it.

It's funny, the author of one of the papers, on conflict of interest in the regulation of food safety has the last name of Nestle.

Whatever happened to fasting three days straight a month? Sometimes I don't eat for part of the day and I'm not particularly hungry, it all depends. But even our hunter gather ancestors, when they were out hunting game, they or those waiting at home, may have snacked on fruits or vegetables, seeds or nuts, or whatever, so we don't know that they actually were fasting during that time. I did one true fast when I was about 22 years old, which was a 28 day fast--nothing but spring water. It was quite interesting.

Looking at the orthomolecular.org website, it needs updating on its biographical information, that is, a missing year of death for at least one that I saw, and the Hall of Fame inductees stop with the upcoming ones for 2019. I also noticed in its Hall of Fame inductees, four with whom I was personally acquainted, including one under whose supervision I underwent the 28 day water fast when I was 22. He and two of the other Hall of Fame inductees more or less did no harm, but I can't say that about the one who was perhaps their founding father, who was the first of the group I saw--I even had dinner at his house once. The problem is, along with the orthomolecular treatment he used, he also used traditional toxic and damaging psychiatric methods, and was susceptible to inducement of implied financial research support to implement them, my opinion, which if was the case, is unethical. Also, because of their frame of reference, these people will fit anyone into their field of diagnosises, not recognizing that they have misdiagnosed, leading to a seemingly endless merry-go-round. As I mentioned before I believe my problems originated from the Sabin oral live attenuated polio vaccine, which brought about neuromuscular problems soon after and over the next number of years, including difficulty breathing, swallowing, dystonia, and a movement disorder, made worse by misdiagnosis and improper treatment. I didn't mean to get into all this again, but the coincidence of this substack brought it out.
