- astura 8y agoJordon Peterson claims drinking a glass of apple cider caused him to not be able to sleep for 25 days straight and his daughter claimed that putting pepper on a steak caused joint pain, acne and anxiety for three weeks. But she can drink voldka and bourbon. That sort of batshit crazy magical thinking isn't worth discussing. Period. The article the GP posted has the money quote: >The idea that alcohol, one of the most well-documented toxic substances, is among the few things that Peterson’s body will tolerate may be illuminating. It implies that when it comes to dieting, the inherent properties of the substances ingested can be less important than the eater’s conceptualizations of them—as either tolerable or intolerable, good or bad. What’s actually therapeutic may be the act of elimination itself.
- geowwy 8y agoIt's not too crazy to think a mono-diet of meat might have some therapeutic effects. A lot of people claim it's helped them: https://meatheals.com/ https://meatheals.com/
- sridca 8y agoHN cares more about dogmatic beliefs than factual reports. No wonder you are being downvoted.
- fucking_tragedy 8y agoWhere are the facts, then? We have two people who claim to follow an all-beef diet, and built a business around giving advice to people regarding their diet. Similarly, breatharians make claims about their diet and built businesses around giving advice to people regarding their diet. Both the Petersons and breatharians make huge claims about their purported diet, but don't have the evidence to back their claims up. There isn't even evidence that the Petersons follow their own diet advice. There are only claims and consultation fees.
- astura 8y agoEven if an all beef diet had amazing health benefits, it's still bat shit insane magical thinking to claim that a glass of apple cider makes you unable to sleep for 25 days straight. Not hyperbole, he claimed it literally. Assuming it's even possible to not sleep for 25 days. That's /r/thatHappened material. For another example of the same sort of outrageous obviously false claims (similar to breatharianism) see the "fasting girls." (One of which died of starvation while being monitored) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasting_girl https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasting_girl
- sridca 8y ago> Where are the [factual reports], then? Here http://meatheals.com/ http://meatheals.com/ and of course those of Petersons > There isn't even evidence that the Petersons follow their own diet advice. There are only claims and consultation fees. What they do to earn their living is irrelevant. Including your convenient disbelief (in the name of "evidence") of their factual reports. Unlike you, I take what people say with face value in order to establish a prima facie case -- there is no need to believe or disbelieve. Had I listened to the Internet cynics like you I would not have resolved my own chronic condition.
- fucking_tragedy 8y ago> What they do to earn their living is irrelevant. No, it is very relevant. There's a blatant conflict of interest and that you chose to ignore it, and just take them on their word without evidence, speaks volumes. I wish you luck in treating your chronic condition.
- sridca 8y agoIt is irrelevant, as it does not automagically make a factual report suddenly false. This is such basic comprehension; I have no idea why some people don't get it.

- nradov 8y agoThose people are also mentally ill. Their symptoms are mostly psychosomatic and the "therapeutic effects" of a meat diet are entirely sure to the placebo effect.
- sridca 8y agoAre malicious comments like this -- calling one's fellow human beings reporting what worked to cure their health "mentally ill" or "batshit crazy" -- actually allowed on HN?
- astura 8y agoPlease reread the comment you are replying to, I didn't say "it's crazy to think a mono-diet of meat might have some therapeutic effects" or even anything like it.
