Why/How do people develop allergies?

It would be interesting to study this.

You've merely swapped one set of "authority figures" for another. And your new set has less rigour in its claims.

So why do you believe Gerson? Or anyone else for that matter?

Link please.
You did say "I could send you mountains of evidence, studies, research, and testimony to back up any claim I've made here".

Coconut oil is TERRIBLE for you. It's one of the worst oils there are. It's almost all saturated fat with almost no mono/poly unsaturated fats. Ideally, you would never use coconut oil in cooking.

Statistically speaking, "developed" countries including the USA have way higher life expectancies than underdeveloped countries. Get a clue, you pseudoscientific dip. You should quit spamming your links to scam sites too. Your posts resemble infomercials.

 

I'm wheat intolerant, but I certainly didn't have an overly sanitized upbringing. I'm very well acquainted with muck

I trust unbiased biochemists and research first, you trust invested politicians and press releases first.

I trust that the human body has great potential to heal itself(and prevent disease) when given proper nutrition, and when unburdened from toxicity. That's all that Gerson's methods do. It clears the body of debilitating toxins, and nourishes the body with nutrition, so that the body can then be fully functional to fight off the cancer. For example- If a piece of broccoli requires, lets say calcium, in order to fulfill the request of it's DNA but there's no calcium in the soil, this broccoli plant might still grow but it will not be fully functional. It's calcium deficiency might affect it's ability to withstand too much sun or something. The same is true with the human body- it requires certain things in order to function properly. That is the goal of my diet- to supply my body with those things, and to keep out the things which hinder my body's functions.

I'm constantly changing and refining my diet as I gather new info. If you have any suggestions I'd appreciate it.

That's weird. I wonder how it is that mankind has been able to withstand the harmful effects of saturated fat all these millions of years.

Here's a link I'm sure you'll read:

Lets take it down a notch because I didn't come here to battle. I realize that we have a higher life expectancy than underdeveloped countries. I don't understand what that has to do with my diet though.
What site do you think is a scam?

 

Hmm, slight error there.
"Unbiased" chemists and research?
Give me an example of "invested politicians and press releases" that I trust please.

Apart from killing people with his treatment, you mean?

I'll repeat this, since you appear to have ignored it:

Or are you now backing down from your claim?

 

I was making a general statement about your apparent blind trust in official authority figures. I didn't necessarily mean it literally.

I would be glad to give you a link. Is there something specific you had in mind about my diet?

 

So you were guessing? And getting it wrong.

Which bit of YOUR OWN POST did you miss?

 

So you want me to give you information about Dr. Prices research? Do you want his bio? Have you heard of Google? Ok well here's some links for you:

Read his book: http://www.amazon.com/Nutrition-Physical-Degeneration-Weston-Andrew/dp/0879838167

See his foundation: http://www.westonaprice.org/home-mainmenu-1.html

 

That would seem to be implied in my wording "link please".

No, I want his research.

I have, but I assumed that when you wrote

you were being honest.

Ah, I see. You weren't being honest.
His book, and his site do NOT show the research (either procedures or methods), merely his conclusions.
Do wish to retract your claim?
Have you actually read his research or merely the conclusions he came to based on research that he will not let accredited institutions have access to?

 

You're right. Upon closer inspection, everything can be proven insufficient of evidence and proof. Weston Price could have made it all up. Maybe the fact that my allergies went away is all coincidence too. And the fact that I haven't gotten sick this year for the first time, and the fact that I don't get headaches anymore, and the fact that I no longer get acid reflux or indigestion or diarrhea(what used to be a common occurrence for me), or the fact that my bowel movements are regular and complete and a thing to behold, or that fact that I no longer get sunburned, or the fact that my skin has improved and I no longer get heat rashes on my back or elsewhere while working and sweating all day, or the fact that I no longer get those little random ingrown hair bumps on my forearms, or the fact that I have so much more energy now than I used to...

Maybe we're all lying to you, to get you to invest in coconut oil and organic farming....maybe it's all just a conspiracy.

But you have to draw the line somewhere. You keep waiting for the perfect evidence. I'll keep being healthy.

 

And you don't think that's at least a little dishonest? What's the point in saying you "could" if you have no intention of actually doing so? That's as useful as me claiming I could jump from here to the Moon, but I don't feel like doing it whenever anyone asks me to prove it. Would you believe me?
You're trolling.
Edit: editing your post, however quickly, didn't stop my quote showing your admission of dishonesty.

Untrue.

The fact that he will not publish his research or let others check his figures tends to lend some weight to that, doesn't it?

And again you mistake my intent. I'm not after perfect evidence, merely reliable evidence.

 

Wow you are quick! I'm impressed.

Ok I give in. You're right. I don't have the evidence. I'll stop trolling here.

 

Excessive sat. fat intake has the same effects on people that it always has had. Recently, longer lifespans and increased inactivity exacerbated some of the results. Duh.

I have never had allergies, haven't ran a fever in years, almost never get headaches, never have GERD, diarrhea, indigestion, irregular BMs, rashes, sunburn, or ingrown hair bumps, I weigh just 160 lbs at 6'0", and I don't subscribe to any of that idiotic nonsense you have posted. However, I am a nurse, so I know pretty well what is necessary to keep healthy. Perhaps you would benefit from some re-education.

See ya fatboy.
