I agree with Todd and Ken.  Without data, substantiated evidence, etc this
information is useless and a waste of our time.

I can find hundreds of people to give testimonials about how they are
thriving on the Standard American Diet.

I have no trouble with people sharing their experiences, but when they 
take those experiences and generalize them as principles for all people 
to follow, as Vonderplanitz does, but without subjecting those 
principles to rigorous testing, then I think it should be called what it 
is: cult nutrition.  We have enough of that, including cult nutrition 
that comes out of so-called scientific laboratories.  We don't need more.

Indeed?  And what disinterested observer has kept score of those for 
whom it has worked and those for whom it hasn't?  The internet, and for 
that matter the bookstores, are full of "systems" of diet and exercise, 
not to mention golf swings, lotto systems, etc., all of which are 
supported by glowing testimonials from people for whom they "worked."
