Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition! Also, what I've been doing recently in terms of eating is so bizarre I dare not post it. Either nobody'd believe, or I'd get called a witch doctor.

I know. As stated earlier, Eolin is a philosopher. Of Science. And all that. Anyway, our belief in microscopes and telescopes is an extension of our belief in our senses. And I don't have better-than-sense proof evidence for what I've been talking about. I don't have access to labs, or to...

Right, because I'm the one who denies evidence of the senses. :)

Challenge the Status Quo? That's exactly what you arn't doing. Instead, you're accepting the status quo against reasonable people who say that there are other alternatives. And until you open your mind, nothing we say is going to make any difference. When did this thread stop being about weight...

And you refuse to try it. You will not learn, and refuse to listen. So this conversation is pointless. Good Day, Sir. Edit: My dad is a type 2 diabetic. I've talked with my doctor about the pancreas. Stop with the wrongness.

As do I. Either I'm being misinterpreted or misrepresented. Or I mispoke. Science, quo science, absolutely, I'm all for. It tells us about stuff emperically, which is what we should make judgements, decisions and all that based upon. (Note: I don't want to get into religion. Let's not.) What I...

Huzzah, none of us are ignorant. I bet we've all got at least Bachelors degrees. And I know I sound crazy -- but I'm no good at arguing against visible, obvious results. Water helps cleanse much better than it does with weight loss. But cleansing helps with weight loss, they're connected. And...

I didn't use to like lemons either. Sure, its a small sample size. But the *sort* of change is dramamtically differnet from what you normally feel. Leastwise, was for me. Everyone I know who has tryed this now swears by it. As for specific chemicals ... Bah! The whole thing is pretty good for...

Shemeska, congrats on the thesis. Awesome stuff, getting a masters. I should be in about the same position in a couple of years. That being said, what I have issues here is a challenge. I'm saying that you'll notice a difference. Given that its just lemon juice, its not going to hurt you...

Eh, this is why I normally talk about lemon juice. Sweet, sweet lemon juice. I don't drink much water now that doesn't have lemon juice in it.

I'll answer your sarcastic questions as if they arn't. I take the juice of a lemon a day, every day. At least. the plastic lemons won't do, it needs to be fresh. I squeeze my lemons by hand, and usually avoid swallowing the seeds. I don't think they'd be harmful, but I don't dig the taste and...

I know it sounds ludicrious. I thought it was new-age crap as well. Then I tryed it. Near as I can tell, our bodies simply are not very good at handling the massive amount of crap that we are exposed it on a daily basis. How about how you feel? the changes I've made to myself have changed how I...

Ya know what I think bugs me the most? That people are so stuck in the science-framework that they do not believe answers can come from anywhere else. I've issued this: Try a lemon a day for a week. That's 7 lemons -- lemons, which are healthy anyway.Try it with water. See if you feel...

Little typing error, already fixed. Let's not dwell on what it, seriously, just a typing error. Let's also not tell my physics graduate-student friends. They'd mock me.

Back off man, I'm a Philosopher. Of Science. I've always wanted to say that. :) Blame Ghostbusters and me actually being a philosophy graduate student (well, in the fall ...) I never claimed what I was saying was medical science. That'd be a false claim. What I have claimed is that I -- and...

A year ago, I would have responded the same way. Hell, six months ago I would have said that talk about "toxins" was crap. Then I gave it a try. Let me go through this part by part ... By this I largely mean things that are TOXIC. Cigarette smoke, car fumes, insecticides, all of that crap. It...

This is close to right. So close. Here's at least pseudo-scientific evidence for why you should drink water. The body knows how to use water really well, and can use it to help clean you of other the other crap you bring in -- coke, booze, meat toxins, etc etc. Water goes through the body and...

Not quite the school board's heritage, just not pretending that 15 year olds are children. Or at least, not pretending that when away from school they act like children. I like them talk to me about what was mattered to them -- usually romantic entanglements. I let them know it gets better...

I am reminded of Feng Shui, a game of anime violence. Or something. Its based on Hong Kong movies, and has a really neat metaplot. Basically, they found a way to do time travel coherently. And yes, there are factions trying to take over the present by taking the past. The way it works in Feng...

I've seen something similiar. About a month ago now, I was substitute teaching at a local high school. Across the street is a comic book store. Like any good geek, I went over there at lunch. Started reading through Preacher again. Then in came the comic book geeks. I was expecting homely...
