Are you sure you posted on the right board, OP? Jokes are usually posted in "Chit-chat, Fun, and Games."

1 - The adrenal glands handle all stress and they can't distinguish between physical and mental stress. Being stressed releases cortisol which makes you store belly fat.

2 - Fat burning only occurs during your deep sleep at night.

3 - Sugar is bad.....awful....Wheat bread should be considered a dessert because it is a 71 on the glycemic index

4 - Actually.....all grains are bad. It's a worthless food group and every grain should be considered a dessert

5 - You have to eat 25 apples today to get the same nutritional value from one apple in the 1940s.

6 - Cereal companies take all nutrients out of the grain and then spray it with 6 synthetic vitamins and minerals....that's what enriched and fortified means.

7 - You really need to watch carbs and sugars. Calories don't really mean anything. All the good doctors (like Dr. Oz) say your body doesn't really know calories....It just knows hormones.

8 - You should only eat a max of 72g of carbs and 9g sugar per day.

At this point he did a really cool demonstration where people pushed their pointer finger against their thumb....and he would not be able to pry the two apart.....but then they would touch a processed food and he could pry their fingers apart.....This is because of the negative energy floating through these processed foods.......The only one it didn't work on was me.....He said that the Luna bar I was touching must be pretty good and it must be because of all the soy in it that I didn't lose as much strength. Amazing!!!

He also did another demonstration where someone held up their arm and he couldn't push it down.......he touched on his chest (heart) and it was still strong but when he pushed on his abdomen (liver) he could push the arm down so he must have a liver problem.........He brushed his hand down the patient's back a few times and then repeated the test and could not push the arm down.....His liver is on the way to recovery.


9 - Everyone needs 5 supplements....He went through it so quickly I didn't catch them all but they included multi-vitamin, multi-mineral and fish oil....along with two others.

10 - All supplements are not created equal....Vitamin Shoppe/GNC/ETC are cheap supplements and don't realy make a difference. He sells one in his office though called Standard Process and they are amazing. The others are made from oil/tar and are petroleum based products but the ones he sells are from real foods.

11 - Joint pain is pretty much always caused from poor nutrition.

12 - Detoxing is great but only if you are up for it. You need to eat right and exercise first before starting your full body cleanse. He did a detox once when his body wasn't ready and ended up with hyperthyroidism. He started eating right though and it fixed itself.

13 - You should only eat 3-4 oz. of protein at a time. Any more than 4 oz. and the remainder is immediately stored as fat instead.

14 - Juicing is great....watch the fruits though. Only 3.33 C (max) fruit per day and 10C vegetables per day (min)

15 - If you are trying to lose weight eat your fruit late at night before you go to bed so you can burn off all the fruit sugar while you sleep.....Otherwise you have to burn the fruit sugar off first when you exercise.

16 - You should do a parasite protocol every year because 9-10 people have parasites inside of them.

dont agree with all, but most of it is solid advice.

I believe some "doctors" give information to keep the population needing their services. Lol.

cwsreddy

I believe some "doctors" (if not most) give information to keep the population needing their services. Lol.

that's what pharmaceuticals are for.

brad81684

This has to be a joke. So I can't eat a banana because I will go over my recommended sugar intake for the day, according to the doctor??

I haven't laughed this hard since the dog food diet thread. :drinker:

Please tell me you have a link for that thread??

fredgiblet

How da hell are people allowed to stand in front of an audience with no apparent knowledge of the subject at hand? I'd be fired from my job in a hurry if I did that.

Because people want to believe in pseudoscience. It's easier than real science.

SrJoben

It's funny to me that you all think you are smarter than a doctor........Tell me what kind of medical degrees you have please.....

Meh, your doctor doesn't have one either.

The truly sad part about that list is that there are plenty of half truths that make much of it almost believable.

Take, for example, that everyone has parasites in their gut. What we don't have is an overgrowth of any one particular kind.

Worse, we have parasites on our skin! (Maybe he sells soemthing for that!)

I once heard the weight of the gut bacteria can add up to several pounds. How can I kill it all dead and realize this hidden weight loss? That would really going to ramp up that sustainable 10 pounds/week I'm expecting from cutting out carbs.

Most gut bacteria are not parasites, they are symbiotic. Killing them would present a grave risk to your own health.

"All the good doctors (like Dr. Oz) "

Can't stop laughing :devil: :noway:

Yeah, this statement was when I was sure the OP was def not on board. Good for a laugh.

acogg

Please tell me you have a link for that thread??

I tried but can't seem to find it. My search results end after 11 months ago. I haven't seen the clever woman on here for awhile so she could have deactivated. It was hilarious and I am sorry I can't find it. It had me ROFLing as much as this thread. True joy! Candid Camera couldn't have done much better.

dpwellman

My experience with the Chiropractor ersatz 'doctors". On one hand, the one in FL fixed my pinched nerve issue. Holy hell, this crap works?

But then another one, here in Nashville has a radio show and said: "ascorbic acid is not vitamin C" and one should eat anything with ascorbic acid on the label. Um. . . So I take these guys with a grain of salt. Some are great (really do understand sports, physiology, nutrition, pharmacology). Others? Not so much as they buy into it because it's pervasive in the field. They know just enough to be dangerous.

zivasak

Thanks for sharing. I do find the information interesting. Valuable point about carbs and sugar and I also agree that hormones should be the starting point of a healthy lifestyle, not calories.

Wait, does that mean the peeing out the fat thread is gone, too?!

TheRealParisLove

#10 says everything I need to know to put on my skeptic hat. Most of this list sounds like bull****.

I'd like to know where this guy got an apple that was harvested in 1940 so that it could be checked with modern lab equipment for nutrient content. :laugh:

Jacwhite22

Whoo hoo. Just got the following e-mail about this speaker....Apparently he will be back! I am thinking about trying to tape it for all of you naysayers and doubters.

Dessert?

I agree. I'd rather be over in sugar and get nutrition from fruits.
