Tev: Knowledge or imaginative speculation? I remain skeptical. Sounds like another marketing package to me. > But we > will all come to our own conclusions as we > self-educate ourselves and really don't have to get > angry over anything anyone wants to write. TEV: This sort of apologetic is predictable. Anger is an appropriate response for me when confronting snake-oil salesmen or women and other charlatans. (Throw the money-changers out of my temple!) >I am > just thankful that people are taking the time to > write what they have come to find out, whether I > agree with them or not. TEV: I think it is important too, that people report their investigations. However, it appears to me that such reports are being coined in the language of fact. All " ideas " or " introspections " are not facts. Considering we are dealing with nutritional science, and such information may influence people and their lives, shouldn't there be accountability? >Dr. Morter has devoted over > twenty-five years to helping people get well and he > shares in his book what has seemed to work and his > findings. TEV: I applaud his devotion, good intentions, and his good-work ethic. What " seemed to work " and the ideas of " expansion and contraction " that he has packaged them into, seems dubious to me. Nutritional science is already complex. Do Dr. Morter's " findings " simplify Nutri-sci or make it more complex and confused? > His information is compiled from clinical experience > and literary research. TEV: Clinical experience? Yeah, so...what is that? That tells me nothing. There are lots of SAD doctors and dentists with clinical experience. As to literary research, so what. I can do that myself. I don't need to buy another book. Too many opinions about nutritional science that aren't based on biochemical facts. >He gives some simple tests > one can do to see just how healthy their bodies > really are.

If it does great. If not, out it goes. I don't need to confuse my body with " expansions and contractions " . Since my " body has an innate ability to keep itself in tune via 'proper' nutrition " already, why do I need the ambiguous information about " expansion and contraction " ? nu·tri·tion (n-trshn, ny-) KEY NOUN: The process of nourishing or being nourished, especially the process by which a living organism assimilates food and uses it for growth and for replacement of tissues. The science or study that deals with food and nourishment, especially in humans. A source of nourishment; food.
