Is a stroke no longer caused by plaque blocking oxygen to the brain?
Depends on the type of stroke.
(Hint: there's more than 1)
So what you're saying is that Amanda's articles are medical gold and you've no way to rebut them. Ok.
Haven't really read much of her stuff.
I'll try get a proper review for you, but here's a brief snippet just to keep you happy (because that's important to me) so feel to keep waiting.
Her descriptions of how the immune system works seems legit (I'm not really the person to debunk that if it needs it) and she seems very confident on how it works when she's talking about the stuff I can find in my biology textbook.
Where she starts losing credibility and when she loses that confidence is as she departs from evidence based science and leans heavily on things like:
- "may have benefits"
-"can improve"
-"can enhance"
(Like when she talks about Detox and how the gut impact on immune function)
I wonder if she would accept clients who "may pay"?
And as I predicted, she seems to focus on very subjective symptoms such as brain fog or low energy for the Detox recommendations. And somehow Colds and Flus "may be" a symptom of "toxic burden"? (Isn't toxic burden just a funny way to say poisoned?)
Like I said, I haven't read much yet, I have other priorities.
But I do like some classic pseudoscience recommendations.
- apparently it's a good thing to alkalize your blood?
- apparently consuming both an Acid and a Alkaline substance will allow you to benefit from both (instead of neutralizing)
- detox your blood by eating something
- taking a known thing and running away with it to create something that almost sounds right but doesn't have the evidence to back it up. Like "leaky gut".
Then there's recipe recommendations.
Why don't you chill out and have a $10 smoothie while you wait for me to find the time to read through more of her stuff.
