      and Dr. Oz is a cardiac surgeon. not to say healthygamergg is scamming or anything, but medical professionals with media careers should be treated with at least a little skepticism.

        That’s a really extreme and insulting comparison. Can you post an example of anything that’s remotely questionable content from healthygamersgg?

          I mean that thing where he said to stop eating any/all spicy food and eat plain yogurt if you have anger issues seemed a little weird. Like can offer some plausible deniability but it seems like the notion comes more from “traditional medicine” and iirc there’s not much research on the subject. One of his chatters challenged him on it and he basically told them that maybe some of the ancient wisdom actually has a point, the science just hasn’t caught up yet, trust him on this one. I don’t disagree with the sentiment in general, science won’t always have the answer to a specific question, but I do get weary when people use try to use that to offer their specific remedies.

              Do you have a source on that?

              Source?

              A source. I need a source.

              Sorry, I mean I need a source that explicitly states your argument. This is just tangential to the discussion.

              No, you can’t make inferences and observations from the sources you’ve gathered. Any additional comments from you MUST be a subset of the information from the sources you’ve gathered.

              You can’t make normative statements from empirical evidence.

              Do you have a degree in that field?

              A college degree? In that field?

              Then your arguments are invalid.

              No, it doesn’t matter how close those data points are correlated. Correlation does not equal causation.

              Correlation does not equal causation.

              CORRELATION. DOES. NOT. EQUAL. CAUSATION.

              You still haven’t provided me a valid source yet.

              Nope, still haven’t.

              I just looked through all 308 pages of your user history, figures I’m debating a glormpf supporter. A moron.

      And someone can’t be licensed and potentially be pushing their own products for financial gain?

      Not really saying that’s exactly what he’s doing but just saying they’re licensed doesn’t put a person above reproach, especially when it comes to selling things to people.

            I don’t know why you are so negative about a therapist trying to do therapy lol. And it is group therapy, so idk what you’re on about. This convo really isn’t going anywhere.

              I’m literally not, I’m just trying to explain to you what the previous posters point was but you clearly can’t understand a conflict of interest.
