In the What?? Where can I subscribe to this? Jan

Response:

I *still* get mail from that Mother Earth interview 16 years ago.  The best part of it is that people will write and tell me how my book was the one they most frequently loaned out to friends and family; now they want another one; stuff like that.  The same is starting to happen at the website.  We are planning a "Reader’s Say" page soon, filled with non-controlled, non-double-blind, totally anecdotal orthomolecular medicine success stories.  Folks, please feel free to send in yours to The Mother Earth interview is posted at http://doctoryourself.com/motherearth.html And for Aaron: Other Mother Earth Interviewees have included John Holt, Harold W. Manner, William D. Kelley, and Linus Pauling.  You’ve got to wonder what they ever saw in me. — Over 125 articles (indexed by topic, or keyword with an on-site search engine) plus nearly 1,000 scientific references on nutritional therapeutics are posted at http://doctoryourself.com  Links to other clinical nutrition and alternative medicine sites are provided.

Response:

You proceed from a false assumption, Aaron.  Given that I am a quack, what do you expect?  I choose to include my appearances in print and on the media.  I’m an old hand  at both.  You were at the prom when I was the cover story of a national magazine.  People I’d never met recognized me even in a small town in Iowa.  What a blast.  I am proud of that interview to this day, and for folks who might want to read it, here it is: http://doctoryourself.com/motherearth.html — Over 125 articles (indexed by topic, or keyword with an on-site search engine) plus nearly 1,000 scientific references on nutritional therapeutics are posted at http://doctoryourself.com  Links to other clinical nutrition and alternative medicine sites are provided.

Response:

Cite myself? What a great idea.  I’ll have a ways to go before I beat Quackwatch-clone Victor Herbert, who cited himself over 15 times in one article that my Health Issues students read and dissected every semester. And it’s true that Fox truly would not claim his newsgroup postings. They are all deleted, so citing them would be something of a snark hunt. Aaron is now deleting his posts the same day he makes them.  Check it out: Today is June 23.  He might be embarassed by what he says in them; that could explain his evident haste to delete. — Over 125 articles (indexed by topic, or keyword with an on-site search engine) plus nearly 1,000 scientific references on nutritional therapeutics are posted at http://doctoryourself.com  Links to other clinical nutrition and alternative medicine sites are provided. > In article <Pine.GSO.4.10.10006231255130.26026-

pasts years have been negated due to new findings, new and better studies and what’s more, the future will probably bring more light on the some of the very studies/findings of today.  C. Bond

Response:

Actually, I was referring to the 1985 Mother Earth News interview, a seven-page cover story read by nearly 2 million people.  The "face in the magazine" was a full-page color photo of yours quacking truly.  For years, I received thousands and thousands of letters as a result, and several thousand copies of my first book (Doctor Yourself) were sold. Just for fun, may I mention that a copy went to Dogpatch, Arkansas (a real place, by the way).  A Saudi Arabian Ambassador bought several. Life certainly is interesting. My other publications are just that: publications.  Anyone reading the list can clearly see thay are in the popular press.  Outside of Aaron, I can’t imagine anyone being that interested in reading them. Nevertheless, I provide full references for anyone who might.

Response:

Moses here: It is often extremely interesting to read the letters to the editor of scientific journals. Some letters to the editor have changed my mind about I had read in the previous issue. Perhaps a little overstatement on "Dr." S part and perhaps a little straining of the dead fruit fly from the wine by George. Don’t forget the AF’s camel….his/her nose is in the tent. Don’t forget to swallow the 2X priced med with it’s sideeffects. How many have been killed by NSAID’s. Who sold/prescribed Phen phen!?
