But this is one of those things they got waaaay wrong It's an alternative medicine which means there is no scientific basis for it to work at all. So if you are ok with alternative medicines, crack on - otherwise I'd give it a swerve.

A chap I used to work with spent money on this bollocks and we were all incredulous because he was a scientist. Clearly not a very clever one As a result of what this quack told him, he ate nothing but tuna, spinach and Ryvita. quackwatch.com But if you tell your wife this and she believes in it she won't believe you...

He was disillusioned with the medical profession who did not diagnose him correctly for ages. He found it very helpful and he changed his diet significantly as a result which was good for him - I maintain a healthy scepticism.
