About Hveragerthi: TRUTH or LIES?

The internet is full of garbage, especially when it comes to things we cannot immediately disprove of like what goes on inside our bodies. It's very hard to discern which people are trustworthy and which are not. There are several main factors that come into play. Having a background as an internet marketer (read: scam artist) and naturally raised skeptic, I have one skill and that is spotting scams. Wherever there is money to be made, attention to be had, or emotions to be released, you will always find scams, lies, and misinformation.

First of all I would like to teach you how to discern for yourselves what to believe and what not to believe. It might surprise you but 95% of people fall for scams. It happens all the time! Scams are everywhere including religion, medicine, and government to get started. Scams are built into our very human existence because we gain off of others losses. The number one way to find the truth is to go to google (explain later), and no matter what it is, even if it's something you completely believe in, find something saying otherwise. For example, kinoki foot pads (detox foot pads)... if you type in google 'foot pad scam' you get many websites talking about the scam. In general it is a good idea to NOT choose the first few or even first page websites unless they are ultra-trustworthy. The higher something is in the google search engines the more it is WORKED at to get there. Unless it is on a very popular website by nature. Obviously, "buydetoxpads.com" would not be popular by nature for the term "foot pad scam". It would be marketed to GET there to FOOL you. So go to page 2 and look for some really authoritative website with a terrible design. They usually aren't using design and marketing gimmicks to get your attention to sell sell sell. OK. Now you've found a ton of information on everything from the 'dark side' of everything you hold dear, including drinking water (too much is bad for you, the wrong kind is bad for you, etc.) Now that you have an idea of the two opposing sides, to find the real truth you must then research these questions:

1. Is the subject (foot pads, pill X, etx) approved of or disapproved of by the medical authority/FDA/government?
2. Is the subject approved of or disapproved of by the 'average joe and jane' population?
3. Is the subject approved of or disapproved of by the independent but mainstream medical blogs/doctor posts?
4. Is the subject approved of or disapproved of by the naturopath/alternative medical blogs/doctor posts?
5. Is the subject approved of or disapproved of by you?
6. Is the subject approved of or disapproved of by the skeptic blogs/posts?
7. Are there alot of GOOGLE ads (right side and at the very top) with very brightly colored webpages selling stuff about this particular industry? Or are there just websites selling this product along with a thousand others in their huge stock and are getting their sales because it works or potentially from cult-gossip? If websites are relying on sales gimmicks like scientific facts to convince you of something (taking up most of the page) it means the product wasn't good enough to get you to buy it from elsewhere. If the website just lists benefits next to the product (10% of the page) it's just trying to reinforce the benefits and is more credible (BUT NOT CREDIBLE).

ALWAYS there will be a conflict if it's outside of the excercise/water/air scope.
Now once you know whos on what side, start to play match up. If the authority/fda/government is against it, but the naturopaths/alternative doctors arent, then obviously that means there's a debate amongst the two schools, and you must consult the other sources. If these two agree then it weighs heavily that they are right because these two rarely agree and almost never have sympathetic interests. The average joe population is the least credible, because these are the people pushed around by all the brains of the industry. If they tend to favor something enthusiastically, give it some thought.. Why would the FDA/authority/gov and the average joe support it but not the naturopath/alternative doctors and the independent skeptics etc.. Start to draw lines between conflicts of interest and see which makes more sense...

The golden formula for making all of this work of course is: DO NOT let your emotions control you, no matter how much you WANT something to exist or work. Don't give in and accept something just because it's easier or is too hard to figure out. There will always, in the end, be something that can convince you to one side if you search hard enough. For example I would never in a million years have believed in an ozone machine like Hveragerthi advocates if I had not heard of all his experience that he has with them and the sound science he gives to them. Only the most looney of loons could be as creative as to invent his stories about them, and if he were indeed that type, the rest of his posts would show it. But they don't.. This is a conflict to the 'Pattern of Scams' I have embedded in my brain, therefore it stands out and is thus truer to me than any of the other alternative theories. I'm planning on reading all of his near 5000 posts. He's not an idol, just a man who has devoted much of his life to a sound way of understanding this field (health). To me that kind of a person freely sharing their experience is worth its weight in gold. (the RIGHT information is worth more than temporary fortune or happiness or health, because the right information allows you to create it yourself)

In summary, be extremely careful about who you trust, I have searched long and hard on the net for a credible go-to source that has basically already done what I would have done.. Researched and researched and lived the research. I found that man, he is hveragerthi, and while he is not to be followed blindly, he has a great amount of years ahead of me, has no vested interest that conflicts with my health or money, and has a habit of researching things more thoroughly than myself, and therefore I would bank my medical fortune on his judgement rather than mine or any other source I currently know of. It's that simple folks

Hveragerthi, on a side note if you read this could you post any reccomended books to read that have the 'right' information. (:
