I just had lunch with a lady talking all about this stuff. Sounds kinda cooky to me. Has anybody had experiences with this?

I'm a skeptic but I'm talking to a guy who says it cured his thyroid cancer. I don't think I can just call his bullshite, but I'm thinking it.

my ex wife put the family on a macrobiotic diet for like 6 months.

it was..interesting.

lots of voodoo here though. no using microwave for instance, rice only cooked in a pressure cooker..lots of seaweed and weird japanese roots & seeds.

did she offer to cut you in and share the profits and ask you to attend a meeting of like minded people who want to help the world and make money?

Nah, baw.

She's telling an old timer it will stop his parkinsons. But I think she'd tell me that it will give me the winning powerball numbers if I tell her that's what's ailing me.

Haven't seen all the date from research yet to know if it's actually positive or not......

But people said probiotics was fake and didn't work. Now it's the big thing in fitness

Gwyneth Paltrow pushed this years ago. Even too strict for her. She moved on.

never, certainly not to this level. I mean I've heard of alternative medicines. but I've never had anyone try to convince me of it. and I've never spoken to someone who said it cured their cancer. At least not until today I hadn't.
