Re: FREE tips on dealing with stress, eating well, recipies and more!

Well, I LOOKED at your web site
full of feel-good trash
has anyone in your organization ever REASON a study?

it does not look like it

You are publishing references to PRESS reports about articles (NOT 
STUDIES) which are NOT definitive..

In most cases, the press report is taken from a press release written bu 
a flack who has no concept of the problem,

AND, most important, someone writes a letter to JAMA or NEJM, or LANCET, 
which says "in my opinion, the sun comes up in the west", and the wire 
report says  " Researchers prove sun comes up in the west, a study by 
Hopkins, published in...."

THEN, some twit like you QUOTES IT as FACT.  Ignoring ALL the other 
evidence.

To point out just ONE item, you are trumpeting that Hopkins says you 
should take vitim for Macular Edema- I GO to Hopkins, for Macular Edema 
- in ALL the years I have gone there, I have NEVER been told to use any 
"supplements" or "vitimnes", and I go to one of the top people there. - 
ALSO, you ignore the fact that the FDA advises people NOT to take the 
stuff.  and there are LOTS of studies in Medline showing why you shouldn't.

Most of your other factoids are questionable, at best - but the SOUND 
like you have a clue.

THEN, you SPAM the newsgroups with your "informational site" it IS spam 
- even if it is "non commercial"

PLEASE go away
