thrashing trudeau...so are you or are you not?

with regards to your posting, im not sure whether you were ranting or offering an objective assessment for the benefit of forum readers here so let me break it down to see if i understand correctly what you were trying to communicate.

1. you dont like the fact that trudeau uses sensationalism to make money off other people.

2. you are perturbed by the fact that health-minded people are coming together in a public forum to discuss experiences and share objective views. you detest that these people are only using the forum so that they can feel warm and fuzzy knowing that they are with others who share their beliefs.

3. you admit you know nothing about trudeau and havent even read the book; thereby affirming that you have judgmental tendencies.

4. you consider alternative health a "religion" (are you insinuating we are religious zealots?) which trudeau is taking advantage of to make money.

5. you pride yourself on having such high standards that you dare not part with your $30.00 to buy the book.

wow, you sound like an unhappy, insecure, and grumpy individual; possibly prone to being taken advantage of by others and who most likely doesnt eat healthy, suffers from being overweight or obese, takes some kind of medication on a regular basis, doesnt exercise and perhaps has some chronic desease(s)or other health issues.

you poor guy, i'd hoped to accuse you of being affiliated with the drug companies, media or medical profession but i dont think the connection is there. i'm accustomed to the agenda-driven propaganda they try to exert in these forums and there is at least some modicum of coherence and intelligence in most of their (dont let this get to your head guys) postings. sorry, sug...

..do U have anything that could pass for evidence?

The appearance of K.Trudeau on infomercials is sensationalism to you. What evidence do you list to back this statement up. I didn't see any. Why don't you amuse and surprize the readers here with some?

According to what you posted, you feel that people who watch the infomercial on TV, then buy the $30 book, then go to a website similar to CureZone to read the details on how to carry out the (body) cleansings Trudeau talks about, to learn what result(s) to expect, is vulgar to you.

What if a lot of people don't agree with you? They may believe that knowledge comes from experience rather than name calling, a characteristic you have if you read back through your posts.

I have listed definitions of sensationalism so you will know how to back up the claims you make in a more empirical way the next time you use the word. What do you accept as evidence (for it)?

Re: question for trader

Hi. I seen a post yesterday but today I can't find it but I went to check out that quantafoods.... The website seems to be low quality and no way to talk to anyone at the company regarding the products.... There multi vitamin product powder the first one list does not give any nutritional label as far as vitamin a,b,c,d,et... Has any lab analysis been done? The protein powder is this just a soy protein isolate fermented? You get 14 grams of protein per tsp? While its 14 grams but of which amino acids?

Again the concept is interesting as I like whole food nutrition as I make my own kombucha and raw kefir milk.... But I don't know if I would spend that amount a money without knowing more, etc....

Look forward to your reply.
