Thank heaven someone's discounting that chunk of bunk. Been there, done that
and know for a fact that it's possible to lose on 'too many' calories and
*gain* on 'too few.' But to listen to the established mode of thought feels
very Alice-in-Wonderland.

I was wondering if anyone had a moment to expand a little (no pun intended)
on what specifically Ray meant by immune system disorder? (I've heard
various theories, am working under some of those assumptions now, which are
making sense.)
