More than a little opinionated aren't you? I challenge you on your allegation of "nuttiness". Prove your statement has any factual basis. For example your denigration of chelation is without factual knowledge. You write in the style of "the keepers of the one true faith". I'm willing to bet your experience is purely academic and you have no clinical experience. Let us look at facts-- EDTA chelation was observed to reverse arteriosclerosis in the 1950's. The product insert from Abbott Laboratories listed arteriosclerosis as an indication for its use. >(1) Then 3 things happened to drastically change the situation First, the >scientist who was the leading proponent of the treatment was killed in an auto >accident. Second, Abbott's patent was running out. Third, the FDA put into >effect new requirements for proof of efficacy for drugs. Abbott Laboratories had no choice but to drop arteriosclerosis as an indication in the product insert. No drug company is going to spend millions of dollars researching a generic drug it cannot profit from and control. ((1)page 118 "Heart Frauds" Charles T. McGee M.D.) As for cholesterol try the above mentioned "Heart Frauds" or "The Cholesterol Myths" by Uffe Ravinskov. There are lots more if you do some research outside the spoonfed environment you are in. Chickens fed rapeseed and calves given rapeseed oil do not prosper. Rapeseed oil naturally contains a high percentage (30-60%) of erucic acid, a substance associated with heart lesions in laboratory animals. For this reason rapeseed oil was not used for consumption in the United States prior to 1974, although it was used in other countries. (Americans chose to use it as a lubricant to maintain Allied naval and merchant ships during World War II.) In 1974, rapeseed varieties with a low erucic content were introduced. Scientists had found a way to replace almost all of rapeseed's erucic acid with oleic acid, a type of monounsaturated fatty acid. (This change was accomplished through the cross-breeding of plants, not by the techniques commonly referred to as "genetic engineering.") By 1978, all Canadian rapeseed produced for food use contained less than 2% erucic acid. The Canadian seed oil industry rechristened the product "canola oil" (Canadian oil) in 1978 in an attempt to distance the product from negative associations with the word "rape."
Why ingest any erucic acid? Economics as usual. As for me and my family we minimize the use of Canada Oil except as motor fuel. Contrary to popular belief that soy is a health food, evidence reveals that soy consumption has been linked to numerous disorders, including infertility, increased cancer and infantile leukemia, and precocious puberty in children have been fed soy formula. (early maturation, such as breast development and menstruation as early as 6 years of age) "...the soybean contains large quantities of natural toxins or "antinutrients". First among them are potent enzyme inhibitors that block the action of trypsin and other enzymes needed for protein digestion. These inhibitors are large, tightly folded proteins that are not completely deactivated during ordinary cooking. They can produce serious gastric distress, reduced protein digestion and chronic deficiencies in amino acid uptake. In test animals, diets high in trypsin inhibitors cause enlargement and pathological conditions of the pancreas, including cancer. Soybeans also contain haemagglutinin, a clot-promoting substance that causes red blood cells to clump together. Trypsin inhibitors and haemagglutinin are growth inhibitors." So enemas aside what is wrong with the statin information on lef.org? No opinions please Bob. I need something with substance not obfuscation and "argumentum ad hominum". Are you to be trusted?

By the way, the lef.org site has some science in it but a whole lot of nuttiness. Any site that promotes homeopathy, EDTA chelation and colonic irrigation is not to be trusted. > > Kirk -- ------------------------------------------------------------------ Bob Allen,http://ozarker.org/bob ------------------------------------------------------------------ --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus] _______________________________________________ Biofuel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://wwia.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/biofuel Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Biofuel archives at Infoarchive.net (searchable): http://infoarchive.net/sgroup/biofuel/ --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?
