"The Quackometer ™ is a quacking, dude. Sorry about the dudette error, by the way."

"You don't accumulate stuff in your body, with the exception of heavy metals. I don't believe that any perceived health benefits of detoxing/liver cleansing/whatever are due to toxins or cleansing thereof. If you feel better after doing so, fine and dandy, but it wasn't ever about toxins, IMHO."
Lar, question about antibiotics (is this quackery??)--- many of the natural doctors say that taking antibiotics kills the "good" intestinal flora along with the "bad" flora, which then leaves the person with a greater risk of developing other health problems since conditions are then 'ripe' for nasty health problems to promulgate (like Candida, Leaky Gut Syndrome, etc)....many people then will be VERY reluctant to use antibiotics...should people be VERY leery of using antibiotics and is this concern over killing of "good" flora legitamate? Oh, lastly do you believe in the Leaky Gut Syndrome theory? Later Hoover!!!
