"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." Richard Feynman

Real science is all I’m interested in, which is precisely why everything on this website is fully referenced and explained. I’ve referenced the major medical textbooks and scientific publications as well as used direct quotes from world-renowned scientists as often as possible.

It is vitally important to me that people come to understand the truth about health, nutrition and the science behind what they eat. I was in the dark for most of my life, but once my education grew, I felt the urgent need to get this info out to others as misled as I was. Please do your own research and don’t take anyone’s word for what is healthy and what is not! Most importantly, trust the science, not someone’s opinion, even if they call themselves “experts”!

No one wants to be suckered in by quack-science. But sadly, those criticizing and warning us of "quacks" are confusing emerging alternative methods, based on real science, with other methods that are not scientifically based. So that leaves us with another thing to beware of. Not only do we need to be careful of quack-science, we also need to be wary of those blowing the horn on who they consider to be quacks. Seems anyone who doesn’t follow the mainstream will eventually end up in the line of fire.

Here’s a good example. A popular website called Quackwatch professes to expose "quacks" in an effort to help the public be aware and guard itself. But amazingly, this site has labeled some of the best minds in science and medicine as “quacks.”

A list of distinguished scientists and doctors listed on Quackwatch:

Linus Pauling – The Nobel Prize-winning, top physical chemist of the 20th century.
Otto Warburg – Winner of The Nobel Prize and one of the world’s leading physiologists – often called the greatest biochemist of all time.
Dr. Andrew Weil, M.D., Newsweek’s “Man of the Year” and proponent against harmful drugs.
Dr. Robert Atkins, M.D., - who single-handedly brought nutritional science into the modern age with his correct dietary recommendations promoting weight loss.
Dr. N.V. Perricone, M.D., - creator of the cutting-edge anti-aging and acne cure that has helped millions.
Dr. Diane Schwarzbein, M.D., - Founder of The Endocrinology Institute of Santa Barbara and a leading authority on metabolic healing.
Prof. Brian Peskin, B.S.E.E., M.I.T., - Founder of Life-Systems Engineering Science, renounced health lecturer, and a leader in cutting edge nutritional sciences.

Many of these distinguished doctors and scientists have suffered ridicule throughout their careers because they don’t follow the mainstream, pro-prescription-drug, low-fat, high-carbohydrate proponents. Quackwatch is probably the most popular place for unsuspecting individuals to seek out advice against quackery. The problem is, the very origins of Quackwatch and it’s founder, are questionable. And as is obvious from the list above, cutting-edge science that has helped millions, and could help more, is being discredited -- causing many to go without the help they need through alternative methods that work. Indeed, it could be said that; if you aren’t listed by this notorious industry mouthpiece your drug-free solution is probably invalid.
