Re: What do you think of what this doctor doing nutrition work in integrative medicine is preaching. I really want opinions and is he full of it??

re--"He said in response to a query about chlorine in the water that it is far worst to eat fruit than drink chlorine which is nothing much to be concerned about."--


that is just absolutely laughable

I don't even know what to say about that it is so ridiculous

YES considering that it was originally designed as a nerve gas, I was shocked at this statement.  The man who was very informed on alternative health and healthy living in the audience who asked it was asking a number of questions and had asked him to comment on the dangers of drinking, showering etc in chlorine and the allopathic doctor who apparently fit neither the allopaths or the alternative health healers in his thinking/ideas said it was far, far  safer than eating fruit and I was shocked..I think maybe a collective gasp or giggle went up when he aid this or the part about eating sausages and hash browns as everything was so opposite what most people believe or read although some of what he said I felt may have had some validity, going so far in the face of what almost everyone accepts as healthy (ie==produce) was shocking.

I started getting to where I stopped listening and commented to my brother on my notepad that he was full of S/crap when he first said it is very bad to eat any raw or frozen produce and to eat canned. That is when I put and often kept my hand up to comment on the thousands of testimonies of people healing themselves with raw or vegan foods and my own experiences with that and juicing. 

He seemed perturbed that I asked this and he tried to I think put me down how he answered it and discounted all testimonies with his answers (but the ones he was taunting to add validity to his claims which I thought was hypocritical that his testimonies count to add validity to his claims but noone elses if they disagree with him and I said so very loudly to my brother when I left), but I felt it was important with hundreds of people there to say an opposing truth and see how he answered it to make it known that not everyone agreed with some of the odd advice he was giving nor was there no other way to health.

I felt so bad for the lady with cancer who seemed desperate and asked the last question right when it was over that I tried to give her this site and some other info but she went out the other door so fast and I could not catch up with her. I get the feeling he gets a lot of controversy as he preaches to much that is completely opposite what many health teachers preach and have healed themselves and others on and it irritates him to be essentially challenged though in a respectful way.

He made sure to let it be known that people like me and the well informed guy who questioned him on chlorine and other topics were the ones who did not get better on his program as I assume we were too well informed to follow like sheep.  Interestingly this seems to follow what Dr Richard Schulze and the nurse who ran hoxsey clinic said..those who did not believe could not be healed and those who believed could not be stopped form healing which seems to imply what we think has a lot to do with healing too.

It feels good that some of my own perceptions of him were validated.
