"Pat" Disagrees About Mucoid Plaque
Thu, August 27, 2009I have witnessed the passing of Mucoid plaque myself while fasting. This was unplanned and happened by surprise.
Let’s be blunt—there’s a LOT of bad advice out there. Worst of all is the advice crafted to “presell” you on something else you don’t need. Forget all that. Here’s the info you need to have an intelligent discussion with the only person who SHOULD be giving you medical advice—your own doctor.

Does Beer Help Menopause?
“Did you read the article at [a popular content mill] which says beer can help with menopause? It says beer works because it acts like estrogen. I was wondering if you thought this would work.”
Yes, I read that article and, no, I don’t believe it. Beer doesn’t even contain enough phytoestrogens to use in scientific tests; I see no reason to believe that its phytoestrogen content would have any significant effect on the human body.

Is Crohn's Caused By Candida?
“Is it true that Crohn’s disease is caused by [Candida albicans]?”
No, it’s not. Crohn’s disease is an autoimmune disease and while certain drugs and foods are associated with increased flare-ups, legitimate experts tell us that there’s probably nothing you can do to “give” yourself Crohn’s.

Is Pork "Dirty" Because Pigs Don't Sweat?
“Is it true what they say that pork is bad for you because pigs don’t sweat?”
No, it’s not true. It’s a blatant lie spread by anti-pork and anti-meat fanatics who don’t trust you to make up your own minds about a food source that can be perfectly healthy in reasonable portions.

Are Colloidal Minerals Poisonous?
“Is it true that colloidal minerals are toxic because they come from mines?”
No, it’s not true. The “colloidal” part of colloidal minerals has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with where a mineral comes from.
