Snake Oil (page 2)

I personally nearly fell victim to a potentially dangerous scam medical product a few months ago. I bought this in a desperate attempt to get relief from my symptoms:

It was only weeks later when it arrived and I was about to try it I came across brand new information that it was potentially quite dangerous:

It was my wife's idea to try the product, and I joked with her that I never thought my wife would try to feed me arsenic so early in our marriage.

We put it in the bin. It was a bit of a close call, so it reinforced to me I need to be careful trying any strange remedies.

Regarding genetically modified food, I don't feel comfortable.

For instance, Native Americans have had corn as the staple of their diet for hundreds if not thousands of years. Through hybridization and now genetic modification, the corn produced for human consumption is many, many times sweeter than the corn Native Americans have been consuming throughout their existence. As a result of corn and other modern foods being modified to taste better, i.e., be sweeter, Native Americans are dying from diabetes at record numbers. Their bodies haven't evolved along with their primary food sources.

Who knows if the diabetes epidemic in our nation isn't in part due to the hybridization and genetic modification of our food supplies?

It's something to think about.

Oh, and Kevin Trudeau is an a$$, I agree.

The diabetes epidemic is caused by eating too much food, it is as simple as that.

Yeah I'm sitting here listening to james randi on you tube while I type this... Why oh why are people so stupid? Why is peter popoff making 23 million dollars a year? Why is sylvia brown making 700 for a half hour doing 'psychic' readings over the telephone? I mean WTF is the matter with our race?

I love watching that video of James Randi, especially the psychiatrist with the tin foil glasses. Hilarious.

Slim, you have a pm.

Mkr...Thanks for posting Randi.

I couldn't help but wonder when I heard him speak about Trudeau being fined 37 million for his frauds.....perhaps this is why the gov. still allows these people to continue with their lies. They are making $$$ for the gov., too. Because in the end, the gov. gets a cut. Seems to me there is a pattern of this in our society. When it becomes lucrative to the PTB to allow evil and deception, why should they wreck the gravy train? It's not their problem that people might hope so desperately that they become gullible prey!
