he included the web site of his business so he is getting attention for that.
i could go over his presentation point by point and give a counter-point to everything he is saying but it woudn't change anyone's opinion.


so are you going to start juicing eggplant? how much does a one day's eggplant cost vs smoking 1 cigarette?

he put some effort into that presentation, how hard would it have been to post some verification that he was diagnosed with pd by a MDS - just cross out the doctor name on his medical records, his pharmacy profile - any pharmacy will print out your profile, you just have to cross out the pharmacy and doctor names to protect them. i would never try to push some treatment that has very little scientific basis without offering proof that i had pd, why bother?
