Garry Tan has been the most influential figure that I have ever had a chance to come across. He appeared right at my critical moments of life and death, at the turning points of the tide. I am certain to say that without Garry and his help

It's arrogance because you think that your current system of science is relevant. Civilization has been around for only 5000 years. How do you know other planets do not have elements that have anti-matter properties?

Perhaps you should rethink the concept of "proven not being able to work".

Testing things is different than practicing things. You cannot test many things. You also cannot prove many things. Look at nutrition. Determining the cause and effect of a substance on a human body is difficult. Science is aimed at proving

Yes, but I am limited by time. Especially in the field of nutrition, no true conclusions can be drawn, regardless of how many studies you read. In the end, it comes down to intuition.

In holistic approaches, sometimes, the treatment works, but the cause and effect cannot be pinpointed. Oftentimes, it's not repeatable. That is because the state of the body is different from one point to another. "Selling"

The holistic perspective is that there is no one singular effective treatment for all individuals. It is a craft. Perhaps curcumin works for one , not another. Perhaps the same curcumin works now, but not later. Or perhaps you'll never

If a medical professional puts my chances at < 5%, I'd rather find 5 charlatans, and hope that 4 of them scam me and 1 don't.

Some treatments are considered "Fringe" because there are other [political, structural] hurdles at play that prevent them from going through proper scientific process. Some people don't have time to wait 10 years for governme

50% of long-term cancer survival is high. He probably should have took it. Alternative treatments don’t guarantee higher success than modern medicine. However, if modern medicine puts the chance of survival at < 5%, it’s not a bad idea

What about crafts that were sighted doing the same maneuvers in the 1940s and 50s? The obvious answer to your question is "latter", but the obviousness deteriorates as you look into historic occurrences.

Well, in that case, heme iron may not be so bad. I'm not here to debate that. But the source has ground -- until someone gives me a better source.

Would love to see a better source. - Nutritionfacts.org is non-profit - Their conclusions are based on studies. - They're not trying to sell supplements or food products. Do they omit certain studies that contradict their overall concl

Maybe "disastrous" is the wrong word. "An increase in heme iron intake of 1mg/day appeared to be significantly associated with a 27% increase in risk of CHD" according to one study.

None. That's why meat is unhealthy.
