"Actually, observation and experience is much more valuable a healing
tool than faked and fudged science."

And the remarkable logic continues. What would we do if not for the
wisdom of the net newsgroup wag to set us straight. Wait, I forgot
about same being found at any local tavern any night of the week on any
subject. Is it a law of nature that members of lifestyle food cults are
drawn into pseudo-scientific claptrap as surely as the moth to the
flame? No doubt astrology and esp can be woven into this remarkable
system of logic with equal ease.

"Lifestyle food cult"? Where have I heard this tidbit from? Is that the
new allopathic way of denigrating people who understand what real
nutrition is? Must be.

The last refuge of the wrong is name-calling.
