He tracks and documents his health markers over the duration. His results are pretty much identical to what happened for me.
(The Australian cricket team doctor does a brief interview in there as well). The doco covers a few of the key concepts related to high-fat diets.
View it and make your own judgement as to the truth of it.

It would be a real struggle to find one that respects evidence.

he gets scientific analysis done of peoples hair to prove how much mercury is in their system, he retests months after they get mercury removed from their teeth and the mercury levels have dropped.... and their health improved...
he isnt your average naturopath. he is also a trained physiotherapist. and he will use medical science as well..

No worries Wayno, you're a true believer.
Glad you got over chronic fatigue, but the truth is you don't know the causal relationships (if any) at play regarding that.

i had several hair tests, my mineral levels in my body shifted significantly and that coincided with a rise in energy, the rise in energy happened long before i had the retests done.... i didnt notice much difference in the first dis months and the retest confirmed there wasnt a big shift, but another six months on both energy and mineral levels changed. and thats wht the naturopath finds with the rest of his patients....

my understanding is dentists are supposed to use a dam in the mouth to reduce ingestion of the mercury when they remove the filings, thats what i had when i had mine removed...
wayno wrote:iodine helps with mercury excretion... more people are lower in iodine now, bread used to be fortified with iodine, but today its fortified with bromine instead.... bromine reduces iodine absorption and also forces iodine out of the body....

Yes. There is some trouble with that idea. It does stop you ingesting most of the drilled out amalgam but it does nothing for the released vapour. You have to breathe during the procedure.

Yep, That's Joseph Mercola, well known for all the wrong reasons. He's a Quack, yep, there's a problem with his thinking (if you get my drift).
LandSailor wrote:Dont disagree Wayno...it has been the relentless demonisation of fat that forces people onto high carb diet by default that is the problem.
If your short-term goal is to lose weight though, the evidence is fairly clear that a high-fat diet is the way to go. From my own personal experience this is true too.
