Customer Review: crisitsm of Heersinks review
Ive only just learned of this books from the Westonaprice website, so i cant comment on it. But i can comment on Mr Heersinks review. He claims Appleton is a mere PhD, and so not qualified to write on this topic. However, lack of qualifications didnt seem to bother Heersink in another of his reviews: that of Mortimer Adler’s Ten Philsophical mistakes. He wrote the following: ‘Adler is not a “professional” philosopher, but that doesn’t make his contribution any less worthy. Indeed, because of its accessibility and wide terrain, this is an engaging dialectic for most of the prominent philosophers from Plato to Nietzsche, One ought ‘ So, Appleton may not be a ‘professional’MD or DO. That does not make her conrribution any less worthy
Customer Review: Incredulous Nonsense
Back in the early Seventies, when an undergraduate at Berkeley, I took a nutrition survey course from George Briggs, Ph.D., Department Chair, Nobel Laureate, and the U.S. expert on nutrition. At our first lecture, Briggs excoriated Adele Davis, the Sixties’ food guru, and his former student. Ever since, I’ve viewed “counter theories” with a more suspicious eye. This book is a perfect example of why. Ms. Appleton is a Ph.D., but no scientist. What are her qualifications to debunk the proven germ-theory of disease? None. She’s merely speculating about something nonscientific armchair Ph.D.s have no expertise in. If you really want a scientific account of “Why We Get Sick,” read a book by that name by authors Randolph Nesse and George Williams (M.D. and Ph.D. respectively). They not only prove the germ theory of disease, but give evolutionary reasons for it. Don’t buy this nonsense that doesn’t even reach the level of “junk science,” because there is no science here. This book is quackery, plain and simple. Certainly, not all illnesses are because of, nor exacerbated by, food intolerances. Such panacea descriptions have been debunked over and over, and still people crave to blame disease and disorders on “food intolerances,” and food “allergies,” and other such nonsense. Indeed, I think she’d be hard-pressed to find any such association between food and disease, much less any disease, except for metabolic disorders. Before long, she’ll ascribe even HIV and cancer as the result of food intolerance! Don’t misunderstand me; good nutrition and healthy diets do promote healthy outcomes, but so do microorganisms produce illnesses and disorders far more than mere any food will. Conversely, we know that people who exercise daily and eat four healthy meals a day come down with a plethora of disorders and diseases that have nothing whatsoever to do with food. We do know that diets high in fat, salt, and sugar are not healthy, but this doesn’t excuse the “leap” to “food intolerances” as the cause of things like lymphadentiis,viseral abscesses, septic shock, staphyloccocus, streptococcus, pneumeococcus, Anthrax, Cholera, Meliodosis, Tuberculosis, systemic Fungal, Rickettsial, Chlamydial, Viral, and Parasitic infections, much less immunological, cardiovascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, hepatic and bilary, endoctrine, hematological, musculoskeletal, muscular, neurological, psychiatric, genitourinary, and dermatological disorders, to name a few. This book is total and unadulterated nonsense that is just another gimmick in the world of conspiracies. Yes, we really do want to believe that disease is all because of the food we eat, because that’s something we think we can control. To a limited extent, the maxim, “you are what you eat” is apropro. But to make outlandish claims that have no biological, chemical, or physical bases in fact is spurious from the get go. Don’t waste your precious money on these panhandlers. If you want a serious and scientific book on “Why We Get Sick,” seek out Nesse’s and William’s excellent alternative.
