This man is a dangerous idiot.
Imagine prescribing someone a pineapple fast without first doing an IgE/ IgG Food Allergy profile. Ridiculous! This is the problem with western medical doctors who arrogantly assume because they went to medical school they are well placed to jump into the alternative health world without any training.
His heart must be in the right place, though, I will concede him that. I think he makes these crappy recommendations from his powerful place behind the white coat and stethoscope because he earnestly wants his patients to get better and he knows that biomedicine has areas it can improve upon.
He'd do much much better to refer them to qualified alternative health providers.
