You would know it? How would you
know it's nonsense? Because the institution that is training you told you so?
Whenever they are forced by enough raised eyebrows of the public to conduct a trial - it's always in their court, on their terms, using their people and the outcome is ALWAYS the same. They bury it.
They buried Linus Pauling when he was too old to be fight back against...and wound up trying to write him off as a crazy person in the end.
We're talking a TWO time nobel prize winner here.
Here's a quote for the LPI site in regards to the concern of high dosages of Vitamin C being able to
possibly cause one of mans worst fears - kidney stones.
Quote:
In one study, Dr. Tsao demonstrated that doses of 3-10 grams/day of vitamin C taken by ten subjects for 2-10 years did not result in abnormal levels of oxalic acid in the blood. In the other study, however, she showed that the ingestion of 10 grams/day of vitamin C by six subjects resulted in slightly elevated levels of oxalic acid in the urine, although the amount was within the range obtained by the consumption of normal diets.
In contrast, a study with six subjects published in 1996 by Dr. Mark Levine and colleagues at the National Institutes of Health found that increasing the daily intake of vitamin C from 200 mg to 1,000 mg resulted in an increase in urinary oxalic acid of about 30%.
Consequently, Dr. Levine suggested that the "upper safe doses of vitamin C are less than 1,000 mg daily in healthy people", although he noted that several earlier studies had not found any association between the incidence of kidney stones and the regular daily intake of 1,000 mg or more of vitamin C.

The NIH steps in and does their own test and they say 200mg to 1000mg MAX.
Nevermind the fact that Linus was taking like 15-20,000mg for decades until he died at the age of 93.
The NIH scared people by saying they tested it & urinary oxalic acid of about 30%.... but the question is, how much does it go up when you eat a normal diet consisting of "safe" foods with high acidity?
Here's another question - Do you think the NIH tried to create a test that would produce the absolute highest levels of oxalic acid they could?
Or do you think they did an unbiased and fair report and just called it like it was?

Nothing, and again nothing 'alternative people' claim has been studied, let alone proved!

Hit usenet. Hit some forums. Talk to sick people who have been cured of various diseases from different alternative methods.

What these people claim does not in any way comply with common sense and the views of actual sience today. It would be crazy to publicly fund such 'treatments'.

Crazy in what way? Crazy in the same way it would be crazy for you to stop making money off recurring billing before Visa/MC actually tell you customers dislike it, don't want it by default & it's over?
Just an example. I'm as much of a capitalist as the next guy
