Glad to see all you Paleo food subscribers also think Dr.
Bernarr is a little off.

Dr. Bernarr:  What type of professional are you?

I've received some private emails from him also with lots of
"advice" and none of it paleo.

Dr. Bernarr: would you refuse an emergency & life saving
heart bypass operation?  How about a c-section that saves
the lives of mother and baby?  How about cutting out that
melanoma before it metatasizes?  Hope you never have any
serious health problems that can be helped by medication
and/or surgery.  Maybe you should really take up a paleodiet
to prevent some of the diseases that your WOE (which I doubt
is truly a paleodiet) would tend to produce.  As for my
personal gall bladder surgery which you told me was not
neccessary-- watch the video of the laparascopic procedure
and you'd see that my gall bladder was so scarred and
adhered that it was totally non- functioning.  It needed to
come out.  I feel great now, and can eat without being
nauseous afterward or having burning pain after eating
almost anything.  Please keep your advice to yourself.

Other paleo diet subscribers:  It's worth checking out Dr.
Bernarr's site for some laughs.  Check out what he says
about sex.  The discussion on ejaculation vs "INjaculation"
is quite enlightening.  This guy is a few fries short of a
Happy Meal.

Sorry if this is considered Flaming, but he's hit a raw
nerve with me.  I don't like anyone that tries to steer
people actually needing medical attention away from getting
help-- I was especially appalled at the post he sent about a
young juvenile diabetic that "took herself" off insulin--
Juvenile (Type 1) diabetics will not survive without insulin
for long.  I bet that poor girl is probably in some hospital
now in Diabetic Ketoacidosis if she really is not taking her
insulin.

Dr. Bernarr-- if you read this, please don't try to give
medical advice.  You are not a medical doctor.

Sorry if I've offended anyone else with this topic-- I'm
done venting about it.
