You want PROOF - Here's Quackery Proof.

If I upset you so much, for not being a member of the local extremist cult, please do add me to your list. You will miss me though! BTW Peter says he plonked me already. He still seems to reply to my posts though. Oh ya, if you would like, I can ratchet up the obnoxious level. Any idiot can ratchet up the obnoxiousness. Add your flung poo to the endless pool of poo flinging of morons with internet connections worldwide. Do you think anyone will take you seriously that way? If so, you've got another think coming. However, if you really want to impress people, make them listen to your point of view. You hate the Atkins diet, tell me why. State it rationally, back it up with objective facts, debunk with real data and I will listen (can't promise anyone else will, but you'll have my ear). I won't promise not to rebut with my own set of facts, or counter your debunk with one of my own, but I will listen. I expect you to do the same. From your previous posts, I would not have guessed that you do any style of low carb, and are against all versions of it, hence my comment in the first place. Frankly, you haven't made a very good first impression, and I don't much patience for people who have an exceptionally high noise to signal ratio. So far your noise ratio has been awfully high. If you are really are low carbing, great! By all means, hail, and well met. Welcome to alt.support.diet.low-carb. There are some very clever, and inventive cooks here, you can pick up some good recipes. You may have something to say about your experience that will be valuable to other diabetics. You may learn from them, too. You don't agree with me on low carb style. So what? You won't find me arguing with you over what you do, and I hope the reverse will be true. (If not, then who's the extremist?) I don't care what you do, if it works. As far as I'm concerned, there's no reason to be infighting about low carb diets, they're all pretty similiar. Just don't bring up that wacko blood type/diet type theory. ;-) As for me, I'm a firm believer in not becoming diabetic (runs in the family), and in losing weight until I reach a reasonalbe weight for my height. Atkins is my best bet for that, for now. If there comes a day when my bloodwork goes haywire, then my doctor and I will move on to something else. Right now that day is not here, so I'm not going to worry about it. If that makes me a cultist, then you've never met anyone in a real cult.

How much more proof do you want? I posted enough to make a normal person run like hell, and even start a nationwide Atkins book burning. Only for the stupid ones like yourself. Nothing will convince you people. It's part of the mental illness that you developed when you went on the diet. However, go to this website one more time.......... http://www.atkinsdietalert.org/ QUACK ALERT! Read it over and over for 24 hours or more. Listen to the words of Neal D. Barnard, M.D. President, Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine Yes refute our "quack" doctor with your Quack Doctor. The fact that the American Medical Association is against Neal Barnard doesn't interfere with your quest against Atkins for setting your ex-wife free from you. You worship a dead doctor who died from his own diet. ANd with nothing worth saying he just repeats himself like a toy. Pull his chain. "Atkins is a quack" This time worship a living one who knows what he's saying and isn't out to kill you for the sake of his own wealth. Do you ever wonder if God hates you for making your life so miserable? DiGiTAL_ViNYL (no email) 350/304/Apr-299/200 Atkins since Jan 12, 2004 OWL-50 carbs/day (CCLL=?) |

burbled across the ether:
This time worship a living one who knows what he's saying and isn't out to kill you for the sake of his own wealth. No, for the sake of his pride. I don't worship doctors. They're all human. Unlike you. Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine isn't a committee, nor is it made up of only nor even primarily physicians, nor is is responsible medicine-- it's an official sounding front for PETA/vegans. Since you're so fond of authority here's one you might listen to--the AMA says they're quacks.

Instead of shopping as I had inteneded, I immediately walked up to the customer service counter. I asked to speak to a manager. When he arrived, I told him that I have been a customer for many years, and I will not return to this store again. When he asked why, I pointed to that banner. I told him exactly how I feel about Atkins, his diet, and his cult. I told him that if he is advertising a diet that the AMA and most doctors believe is dangerous to ones health, causing clogged arteries, heart attacks, and mental health problems. I went on to tell him that he is not looking out for the health of his customers, by advertising the Atkins diet, but instead is selling out to greed. I further told him that he will be receiving this in writing, and so will his boss at the top of the company chain. And just to make my point real clear, I whipped out a few 20's from my wallet, and said "I had intended to spend these here, instead I'll spend them at _______ (other local grocery). Then I walked out the store. Ah, so now someone else knows you're a nut. Priscilla, come on, I don't think he could keep that a secret from very many people. I bet even the local postal worker thinks this one's a nutjob. DiGiTAL_ViNYL (no email) 350/304/Apr-299/200 Atkins since Jan 12, 2004 OWL-50 carbs/day (CCLL=?) |

Brainwashing, and low carb diets (Long post)
I can't believe there are still people out here bashing the Atkins way
of life. Yes, it may not be for everyone. But that would be your own MEDICAL condition that would make it not for you. I have seen to many people and have talked to my three different doctors about Atkins. I have lost 35 pounds and my 13 year old son has lost 28 pounds. We have consulted our doctors every step of the way. If you do not have the will power or if you have not reached the "this is enough" stage in your own weight struggle that is your demon, but lay off of the people who have made changes, responsible changes in their own life. I am proud to say that I am on atkins, my son is on atkins and my other tall and skinny son is also eating what we eat and all of us are healthier, happier and we look marvelous!!! You sound alot like me. I too have a son that is tall and skinny. He now eats like the rest of us. The other boys too have lost some weight. It is a great and marvelous feeling to make so many great changes! |

Oh, you posted enough to make a normal person run like hell, all right, as far away from you as possible. I had a small spark of sympathy when you posted about your wife. But its evaporated like water on a hot summer sidewalk. However, go to this website one more time.......... http://www.atkinsdietalert.org/ Read it over and over for 24 hours or more. Listen to the words of Neal D. Barnard, M.D. President, Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine One cite from a PETA fanatic? Just one cite from a man with an obvious agenda? Is that all you've got!?! You'll have to do a whole lot better than that, bucko. You worship a dead doctor who died from his own diet. Never have, never will. Doctors are only human beings, some have better theories than others, but they're just people. This time worship a living one who knows what he's saying and isn't out to kill you for the sake of his own wealth. I don't worship a dead doctor, and I certainly won't worship a living one, let alone a living one with rectal cranial inversion.
