There was a time<\/a>\u00a0when Gary Null, a popular alternative health speaker and author, was the Deepak Chopra<\/a> of nutrition. He’s written best-selling books (one of them about reversing the aging process<\/a>) and like Chopra, has been featured<\/a> by PBS during fundraising drives. Nearing 70, Null was in the news several years ago when he sued<\/a> the manufacturer of his own dietary supplement, claiming it nearly killed him.<\/p>\n

Buy Ativan Online Without Prescription The self-help guru has had a long and interesting career. One reporter notes<\/a>:<\/p>\n

https://growthjourneytherapy.com/team/ His first tome, “The Complete Guide to Health and Nutrition,” [published in 1986] led to a decades long column in Penthouse magazine, where Null railed on topics like the ineffectiveness of mainstream cancer treatment and the deadly health risks of vaccinations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In the last decade, Null’s brand of quackery<\/a> has given some fans pause with his trafficking in outright denialism. From Wikipedia<\/a>:<\/p>\n

In addition to his promotion of alternative cancer treatments, Null has argued that\u00a0HIV<\/a>\u00a0is harmless and does not cause\u00a0AIDS<\/a>.\u00a0In his \u00a0[2002] book\u00a0AIDS: A Second Opinion<\/em>, Null questioned the role of\u00a0antiretroviral medication<\/a>\u00a0and instead advocated a range of\u00a0dietary supplements<\/a>\u00a0for HIV-positive individuals.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Null, as you might expect, is fiercely opposed to genetically modified foods. Indeed, “natural health” proponents are among<\/a> the most fanatical opponents<\/a> of GMOs. As David Gorski at the Science-based Medicine<\/em> blog has observed<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Purchase Xanax Online There\u2019s a lot in common between anti-GMO activists and antivaccine activists. Perhaps the most prominent similarity is philosophical. Both groups fetishize the naturalistic fallacy, otherwise known as the belief that if it\u2019s \u201cnatural\u201d it must be good (or at least better than anything man-made or \u201cartificial\u201d).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Buy Clonazepam Online Overnight If you want a taste of this fetish, I suggest you tune in at noon\u00a0on weekdays, to WBAI, where Null is the long-time host of a radio show<\/a> on the virtues of alternative health practices and the dangers of conventional medicine. (Here is an archive<\/a> of his hour-long shows.) Naturally, he uses this forum to explain why vaccines and GMOs are unsafe. His soothing voice belies the misleading pseudoscience of his claims. He may talk like Mr. Rogers<\/a> but what he says could kill you, if you are someone who has cancer or AIDS and you take his advice.<\/p>\n
