Do a little reading on this guy, then decide for yourself. Personally, I think he's a huckster out to make a buck using ridiculous claims backed by pseudo-science and possibly outright untruths .. but that's just my opinion .. and some other people like doctors, respected journalists, etc. He's apparently circumventing an FTC ban on making health claims by using a First Amendment loophole to talk about his 'book'.

That is funny. I was just thinking about asking a similar question. I think he is right on the money. Go out and get his latest book. But read it straight through from the beginning. NO SKIPPING AROUND!! My family and I are trying to follow the things he has pointed out in his book . My sisters family is having amazing results. Her husband has had athsma for many years. They are seeing a homeopathist and now he is off all of his medication!

Clearly an opportunist, but he makes his case very well.
