feelingwellnow- glad you’re feeling better now. I’m certainly not claiming that there are no good nutritionists out there. However, there is a lack of effective regulation of nutritionists, and the level of training before going into practice can vary wildly. Due to this, I wouldn’t feel comfortable recommending that people visit a nutritionist with their health problems. I’m glad that you seem to have found a good one, though (or your health improved for other reasons) and hope that your good health continues.

If you have health concerns, see a Dr or dietician

Thanks for the advice, but i did this for many years and not one of these poeple were of any help. A nutrtional therapist sorted out my problem within 1 month.
the people writing on this blog would benefit by getting out in the real world to see what works in reality. Probably wasting my time in suggesting this though.

Lawks, anandamide, what larks, it does invite comparisons with being madder that a wet hen. Do I take it that you are still waiting for Professor Holford to correct the various errors that you have faithfully catalogued for him in your Holford Myths page? Some of these, like the misunderstanding about the NNT for statins, should surely be substantial enough to prompt consideration of an erratum slip or at least a publisher's amendment posted on Amazon and all good online book stores?
