Eric Bahrt, desperately pushing his vegan nonsense, accuses me of using “unsubstantiated” data on cancer prevention. May I repeat that I refer to reproducible tests. Dr Hulda Clarke carried out over half a million such reproducible tests in over 50 years. Anyone can repeat those tests, for instance by using Dr Clarke’s Bioresonance Synchrometer to show that the prostate is inflamed by the substance naringenin, in citrus and acetic acid (vinegar), and also show that an inflamed part allows easy entry for the cancer nucleus to start all malignancies. Such tests are repeatable whether or not they are published in any medical or science journal.
Referring to the “substantiated” data which Eric trusts, data published in journals of medicine, science or nutrition journals, we note that if a health study is “peer reviewed”, then we automatically assume that the study is evidence-based, reliable and true. But, as much as 90 per cent of the published medical information that doctors rely on is completely wrong – http://ahrp.org/lies-damned-lies-and-medical-science/).
Many science “studies” have predetermined outcomes and results that are scripted first by the companies and corporations that will profit from the resulting product, and then by shill scientists who twist, distort or even discard the findings that don’t fit the scripted conclusion. Then big bucks trade hands and the findings are published in quack journals like the Journal of the American Medical Association. This has been going on for a century. For evidence see http://www.truthwiki.org/science-based-medicine-also-evidence-based-medicine.
No, Eric, I don’t chastise the entire medical profession. I have great respect for the trauma surgeons, burn-injury surgeons, urologists and so on. (My son is in neurology and plastic surgery.) But I have little time for quacks who keep repeating the “calories and cholesterol” mantra they were taught in their six hours of nutrition class in six years of medical school.
As to Eric’s suggestion that I might have a conflict of interests, I sold my chain of fitness clubs in Hong Kong 15 years ago and don’t sell any fitness or diet courses.
Meanwhile Eric extols the dietary therapies of Dr Dean Ornish. I have already revealed the failures of his low cholesterol diet and lifestyle changes to combat prostate cancer. Now Eric claims Dr Ornish reversed heart disease with this same low-saturated-fat diet and lifestyle changes. Ornish argues that protein and saturated fat increase the risk of mortality and chronic disease. As evidence for these causal claims, he cites a handful of observational studies.
To get a better understanding of this controversial subject, readers can google “Why almost everything Dean Ornish says about nutrition is wrong”, to read an enlightening article from the Scientific American.
