You have good genes. And a distorted idea about how our bodies work. I attempt to keep up with alternative healing as much as I can, but you completely misrepresent allopathic medicine. Diet and nutrition are important and there are many facets we can’t measure, yet. Unfortunately, most of your statements are completely unsupported.

I’m an allopathic family doctor, largely because of the grief docs gave me over breastfeeding and natural birth in the late 70’s, early ‘80’s. I was a member of La Leche League and reading Prevention when scientists were laughing about that journal’s reports on Folate and birth defects and infections and heart disease. Despite these two items, the rate of pure bunk is way too high and much higher than in the more traditional medical and science journals.

The only ‘bunk’ is when supposed ‘alternative’ advocates cave in and market the same useless synthetic products that the AMA quacks do.

The real thing is costly to produce, and it can be difficult to convince people that it is worth it to provide their bodies with needed useable nutrients. This is a moral failure to be sure.
