Adrenal Fatigue is more real than you Natters.

Toxic Hunger is a fake disease. Lets hope theres no more debate about that anymore, seems futile to argue its existance.

Good old Dr Weil..Wiki (see how easy it is to find comment)

"Some mainstream medical professionals have criticized Weil for promoting unverified beliefs. Weil's rejection of some aspects of evidence-based medicine and promotion of alternative medicine practices that are not verifiably efficacious has been criticized by some mainstream physicians such as Arnold S. Relman, editor in chief of The New England Journal of Medicine, in his 1998 article "A Trip to Stonesville: Some Notes on Andrew Weil".[19] Weil has also promoted food products such as fruit and nut bars by combining his personal brand with Arran Stephens' Nature's Path brand.[20] Relman has also said, "There is no doubt that modern medicine as it is now practiced needs to improve its relations with patients, and that some of the criticisms leveled against it by people such as Weil - and by many more within the medical establishment itself - are valid. There also can be no doubt that a few of the "natural" medicines and healing methods now being used by practitioners of alternative medicine will prove, after testing, to be safe and effective... In the best kind of medical practice, all proposed treatments must be tested objectively. In the end, there will only be treatments that pass that test and those that do not, those that are proven worthwhile and those that are not. Can there be any reasonable "alternative"?"[19]

Weil has also been criticized by members of the medical and pharmaceutical establishments[19][21][22] for the potential conflicts of interest this raises in relation to his non-profit foundation business dealings.[20][23]

Barry Beyerstein, PhD at Simon Fraser University, criticizes aspects of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), asserting that "CAM shares the movement's magical world-view. On advocating emotional criteria for truth over criteria based on empirical data and logic, New Age medical gurus such as Andrew Weil and Deepak Chopra have convinced many that 'anything goes,'" later stating that "By denigrating science, these detractors have enlarged the potential following for magical and pseudoscientific health product."[22] Simon Singh echoes this criticism going as far as saying that while Weil promotes some good things like exercise and less smoking that "much of his advice is nonsense".[24]

Dr. Steven Knope of Tucson, Arizona, criticized Weil in a debate televised on public television affiliate KUAT-TV. Knope criticized Weil for what he considered irresponsible advocacy of untested treatments.[25]

Regarding his journalism for Time Magazine, The Center for Science in the Public Interest pointed out that in one Time magazine column by Weil, he touts the benefits of fish oil supplements. The article failed to disclose that Dr. Weil sells his own brand of fish oil supplements on his Web site."[23]

In 2009, the US Food and Drug Administration sent a warning letter to a company associated with Weil (Weil Lifestyle LLC) as a package of urgent measures to protect consumers from products that, without approval or authorization by FDA, claimed to diagnose, mitigate, prevent, treat or cure H1N1 flu virus in people. Weil Lifestyle had made several implicit claims in its marketing literature that certain products could help ward off the virus.[26"]
