I totally agree. I know Burger. I know very well another of the 3 first guys
to experiment instinctive nutrition back in the 60s. This guy knows Burger
much better than allmost anyone and he's *not* in a good relationship with
him now. Together they started to think and experiment. It appears,
according to this guy, that the discoverer of the theory is Burger. He's
sufficiently clever to have found it by his own, not in searching in ancient
litterature. If it would be the case, this guy would for sure know it and
make use of it.
Even if these ancients books may have said something about our food instinct
( but to my limited knowledge they don't ), none could know enough at the
time about biochemistry and immunology to put up such a coherent theory
including a new revolutionnary approach of the viral phenomeneon and all.
