I too, have followed the musing of "Dr Jon" since he put up his website some
years back.
I think the website was fairly remarkable as a starting point for further
research on interesting off-the-wall stuff, including alternate health
resources.
I don't think ANY of it was original. merely a convenient compilation ( similar
compilations are sold as books by others that are more enterprising).
His "Fatcats" group served a REAL service, that pushed me into latter day
supplement sources useful in weight control that were NOT dangerous and NEW (to
me) dietary practices that I am still exploring in more depth.
BTW, the supplements pkgs of capsules that he sold were very reasonably priced.
Personally, I obtained individual ones in kilo quantities, as I prefer to
experiment with effective dosages.
The Health Co-op that he founded has always worked for me.
Always got what I payed for.
Hmmm, perhaps it's success in undercutting prices while maintaining quality is
what is fueling the vindictiveness of the personal attacks?
I bought a sample of his wife's cosmetic cream. It seems very nice, I don't
think it a ripoff.
So he created a persona for online use! Who cares?
Further thought reveals that to be a shrewd sensible tactic.
I never believed him to be a real doctor, too many clues.
I guess the gullible really get bent when it's pointed out to them.
I've bought from his companies, joined his mail lists, enjoyed his website, his
humor, and his commentary. He was interesting and charismatic.
Never got "took".
Don't really care that he was trying to avoid paying taxes. He had a good run.
So Nenah, how were YOU harmed?

Photons have mass? I didn't even know they were Catholic.
