Note that some people when they run into alternative medical practices they can't understand stand sounding like ducks. ;-)
The FDA has become nothing more than another fascist wing of our government. They represent the corporate elite and not the people. They should be at the forefront of making sure that GMO products are labeled. Instead asshat Obama appointed a former VP and lobbyist for Monsanto as senior advisor to the commissioner at the FDA. I like a lot of Mercola's advocacy but there are some wings of our alternate medicine that run just a bit too commercially for my tastes. He advocates metabolic typing yet the last time I looked I didn't see any of the support supplements for that kind of program there. Similarly I've seen some good ideas in the naturopathic community damaged by commercialistic MLM programs. The problem that I pointed out the other day with so many people who are doing alternative medicine including ayurveda is they only go for the reduction stroke or detox and after awhile start wasting away. One needs the tonification stroke too. In fact one needs to be so strong that food changes, weather changes, etc don't weigh much upon the body. What I think happens is people get addicted to the high the detox cycle brings. They need to get addicted to the strength the tonification cycle brings which can be surprising when you start telling people who were used to manipulating you when weak from the detox cycle to "buzz off." :-D On 07/27/2013 04:56 AM, Share Long wrote: > Xeno, thank you for the info.
