Like most pseudoscience and it's evangelists, this reads like someone who felt powerless in a really desperate time.
We saw a lot of this during COVID, you know? People who were desperate, frightened, and were being told the only thing that might work to save people was to go into solitary confinement. But also, lots of people were going to die, so if you tried to protect yourself and others by isolating, you might never see your loved ones again. Just a really awful, desperate time,
So people seized on psudoscience to try and find something, anything that would give them a snitch of hope.
This guy doesn't read like a LinkedIn Lunatic to me. He reads like someone who is deeply grieving and isn't well.
I mean, in this capitalist hellscape that teaches people their worth is only in what money they can make? I can believe that some would.
Don't get me wrong. I hate him for being a lying snake oil salesman. But that doesn't necessarily mean that the commenter you're responding to is wrong.
Sure, it's likely this guy suffered through a real tragedy and may even believe in the miracle pills he's selling, but it's also extremely likely this story is mostly BS. Maybe not a "Lunatic" Grifter, just an Unscrupulous Grifter?
Or, he was a pharmacist for 25 years when his wife suffered from depression and other unnamed "symptoms" for 10 years before dying of unnamed causes at 39. Meanwhile he (and presumably unnamed people) told his wife that her symptoms were nothing, but if he had only given her some of his miracle supplement she'd be healthy again, not dead. OK.
Interesting that he gave all these "examples" of people with conditions amazing treated, but doesn't even take the time to discuss what so-easily-treatable issue his own wife died from.
The stuff he’s shilling has no real scientific basis for efficacy.
I get tired of hearing that Western Medicine fixes the critical big stuff but doesn’t do anything for day to day life. Do you really think if there was some secret formula or some natural supplement we could take that really did make our bodies function better or keep disease at bay that they’d hide it from us? Like they wouldn’t tell us?
The idea that all the pharma companies are in collusion with each other to withhold revolutionary medical treatments ignores how the prisoner's dilemma works. Patenting and releasing the miracle cure is the ultimate "betray" play. Whoever discovers a cure for cancer, or any other similarly revolutionary treatment, is going to be swimming in money.
Yeah, it may lower the profitability of the industry as a whole, but a monopoly on the cure for cancer is a hell of a lot more profitable than being one out of like a dozen companies selling long term treatments in a semi competitive market.
I am saying any single company that develops a universal cancer cure could charge so much money that they are getting almost all of the profit of every single cancer treatment combined.
It’s more ‘When all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.” Western doctors are primarily given pharmaceuticals and surgery as their tools so most medical problems are addressed through one of those options. Addressing lifestyle, diet, support network, and mental health is seen as secondary or not addressed at all, but these are the things that really do make our bodies function better. The for profit system will always prioritize drugs and surgery, and that’s why Western medicine is great at solving the acute problem, but bad at promoting overall health.
Anyone who tries to sell crap like this, never show where THEIR paper is, or say why they haven't posted this anywhere that actual scientists could peer review it
And if they do say something it's some unfounded bullshit like "the mainstream won't let me publish" without any proof that they actually tried
.... So what's the deal with a headstone on top of what is clearly unbroken stone? With a two-year-old headstone for a one year old laying askew in the background?
....
Is this Nano banana? Coz it sure seems like it.
All that 'research' and 'evidence' but not one pharmaceutical company has invested money in generating a treatment leaving a lone pharmacist with a LinkedIn account to offer it instead. Yeah, that sounds plausible.
Yes, and was probably swallowed by a eukaryotic cell eons ago creating a symbiotic relationship. There are metabolic diseases associated with mitochondria, being tired isn't one of them.
Claiming 62 year old people with walkers can throw them away (why did they have them in the first place?) and people bedridden with fibromyalgia (no cure) can return to work full time is straight up fraud.
Oh, as an ER doctor, trust me, this way more common than you might think. Has a kid at 20, that kid has a kid at 19, you're a grandparent at 40, still working those 24's
She’s not dead, she’s hiding.
Checked under the bed but only found lost socks

She's pining for the fjords
How do you think he'd respond if I asked to see the autopsy of his wife who allegedly died of glutathione deficiency?
This seems like a tragic way to cope with a traumatic loss, by sinking into a moneymaking supplement scheme.

Deeply grieving people aren't trying to sell you things.

"Like most pseudoscience and it's evangelists, this reads like someone who felt powerless in a really desperate time."
Yes. I strongly agree. This is how a lot of this happens
Him: "Western medicine is great at saving lives, but the day to day is just pills pills pills. A pill for everything."
Also him: "The solution is this other pill. It's different because it has this magical thing in it."
Also also him: "Did I mention I used to work as a pharmacist, the profession whose job is to just give out pills?"
And “sure I’m a doctor but not THAT kind of doctor, but if it gives my snake oil cred I’m all for it”
Her from beyond: I'm going to haunt this mf so hard.
I'd be willing to bet even her ghost wants nothing to do with him.
Hopefully she's too busy partying with Betty White and Edgar Allen Poe and is just like, "Husband who?"
Interesting that he gave all these "examples" of people with conditions amazing treated, but doesn't even take the time to discuss what so-easily-treatable issue his own wife died from.
So the research has existed for 45 years, he’s a pharmacist for 25, he knew what was really wrong with his wife but did….nothing?
The stuff he’s shilling has no real scientific basis for efficacy.

Oh to be so naive

I think it is the notion that the pharmaceuticals manage symptoms but not root causes?
Unfortunately the thing for day to day life is diet and exercise it isn't secret, has its limits, and makes a huge difference in life expectancy.

My doctor regularly prescribes the secret formula: eat better, exercise (cardio and weight training at a bare minimum), sleep well. Shocking.

Act now and Ill throw in a bamboo steamer and a USB charger cord.
Is it a type C cord?
No, but I'll sell you a Type C adapter for 9.99!

Mitochondria is the new word the hucksters have appropriated.
It's the powerhouse of the cell!
Yes, and was probably swallowed by a eukaryotic cell eons ago creating a symbiotic relationship. There are metabolic diseases associated with mitochondria, being tired isn't one of them.
You go, little powerhouse, you go!!
Oh wow, I didn't think it could get worse until the final photo
How my dead wife thought me about b2b sales.
Revolting.
What a utter Kent
Oh, they mentioned glutathione when I took general biochemistry.
And how taking it orally is useless, because it'll be immediately degraded/digested by the peptidases in your stomach.
Claiming 62 year old people with walkers can throw them away (why did they have them in the first place?) and people bedridden with fibromyalgia (no cure) can return to work full time is straight up fraud.
She died exactly at age 40. That's some fast-acting deficiency.
Why is someone who is old enough to have GRANDKIDS working 12 hour shifts as an EMT? Sorry, what?
Oh, as an ER doctor, trust me, this way more common than you might think. Has a kid at 20, that kid has a kid at 19, you're a grandparent at 40, still working those 24's
How is this Lunacy? I swear man, half of these posts don’t even qualify.
bc he's using his allegedly dead wife to grift.
