I fail to understand the connection between your being testy and my
pointing out cult aspects of fringe diets.

You lost me here.

I will pass on your offer, but when the customs does release your
stuff, I would be very interested in knowing what the triglycerides &
cholesterol levels were for you & Melissa.

Well, you sure are playing to a different tune now. Only 2 posts ago,
on Saturday Sept. 14, you expressed that you 'enjoyed the challenge of
my responses to your mindset' and that you were 'interested in reading
my old 55k response' to you. After you read my response to your
comments on scientific research, where I expressed frustration with the
cult-like anti-scientific stance & the tunnelvision, so many people on
various dietary regimes seem to suffer from along with their tendency
to overidentify with their diets on the personal/emotional level, you
did a flip-flop and made my very point. I rest my case. :/

>I hear you about the cult stuff,

If you do hear me, why are you getting so defensive?

>but what else can I say?

A lot more I would hope.

>I'm burning out on it (posting) I guess.

Take a break. Posting here is supposed to be fun & inspiring not a
drudgery. It might also help you, if you in the future edit your
responses a little better.

>What's left, Peter?

A hell of a lot.

>Every criticism you have with instincto is fair.

Rather than flatter, it would be a lot more interesting, if you were to
respond more to the actual content of my postings.

>I have some you've not touched on (yet?), but I gotta leave something
>for M2M, no?

I look forward to you picking up in the NH M2M, where you left off
here. Especially, if you can reconnect with your lighter & more
spirited self.

I wish you the best of luck. Hopefully, contributing to the NH M2M will
not be such a drain for you.

That should lively things up.

Especially since Health & Beyond is on the web.

Maybe when they start crashing from their sugar high.

I believe that we can do better than that.
