Re: Debate and the moreless forum
I used to read that forum a lot, but the put downs (especially that one about someones family life and upbringing) really changed my mind about the person running the forum. Someone providing advice on a level like that really needs to take a step back from personal opinions, and just provide the health advice required, in a friendly fashion, to the question asked. Otherwise it turns into a dictatorship.
Personally, while I'm sure a lot of the advice given has some element of use for health, such as eating more fruits and vegetables, taking kelp etc, most of that information is completely unproven, but is provided in a manner that it is the unmistakable truth. I could open up a forum touting the magic anti-cancer, anti- diabetes anti-aids benefits of eating rabitt poo and gum leaves, and the more I said it was true, and and I could make up some reasons why, then I'm sure I'd have people believe me.
Be critical thinkers and not followers, is all I have to say. Don't believe everything you are told, by doctors, herbalists, natropaths, and certainly someone who just opens up a forum.
