It is offbase, but what would you expect? Kessler is as mainstream as you can get, and, as you may have noted, the mainstream has done a pretty dismal job of preventing the obesity epidemic.

Couldn’t regular blood donations have the same effect, minus the bathroom excitement? (Plus the side benefit of ferritin reduction.)

Yep, but you can do it only once every 60 days.

“If I were sending a scientist who wanted to learn more about the failures of the lipid hypothesis, I would send him/her to GCBC and Chris’s siteI”

I wasn’t sure at first what GCBC was, so I googled it and got” Grand Case Beach Club in St. Martin.” Sounds to me like a good place to send people . . .

I did soon realize it was “Good Calories, Bad Calories.”

Glad you finally figured it out. But if I were a scientist I would much rather be sent to the other GCBC.

The link is broken when you switch countries. I’m working on getting a portal for Amazon.co.uk, but I haven’t gotten it yet.

True.

“As long as you get to Amazon by clicking through my blog (or MD’s or the website), we get credit for whatever you purchase while you’re there. Thanks in advance.”

Does this include, let us say a camcorder or laptop purchased through Amazon after linking to it from Protein Power site? Please let me know. Most of my purchases are through Amazon. I would gladly put those extra seconds effort to pay back for the wonderful knowledge you share with us.

It includes anything you purchase through Amazon by going through our website or blogs. People have purchased clothing, camcorders, iMacs, laptops, shredders, vitamins, Iodoral (Amazon is the best place to get it), insulin syringes, and almost anything else you could imagine. Thanks in advance for any purchased you might make.

Thanks for the list.. I have a resources page on my website as well, with your Protein Power book listed as one choice. The Amazon thing is great. I get to easily share the books I love with my readers, they get great information, and I get a little nod of thanks from Amazon for sharing.

Thanks for the heads up. I fixed the link. Thanks for the Protein Power listing.

Did you ever try the POP-elimination described therein, or hear from anyone who did? My search of your site did not produce any follow-ups.

Now that “Alli” is available otc (or is there a cheaper source?), I’m thinking of following your “protocol” to reduce the Persistent Organic Pollutants in my system; their release, as I lose weight, has been a background worry.

Thanks, as always, for your wonderful informational posts. (I do go through your site for my Amazon purchases.)

PS – some time ago you solicited our opinions regarding the utility of your responses to the comments we make. I find them very, very useful. I hope you’ll continue to respond selectively – as you seem still to be doing!

I have not tried it, nor do I know anyone who has. I do still stand by the notion that it would eliminate organic toxins, but I just haven’t found the weekend that I want to stay home with a bathroom close at hand. If you do try it, let me know.

There are some other alternatives besides orlistat (Alli) that should work as well. Potato chips made with olestra, if eaten in large enough quantities, will provide the same result as will hefty portions of an oily fish called escolar. Just be prepared for a couple of days of gastric unpleasantness.
