So I'm into alot of snooping and searching for what lies beneath the lies we tell ourselves as a society, as most everyone here is. I tend bar. This guy comes in one day and he starts telling me how he doesn't eat meat. He's aprox. 50, seemingly conservative and a confeesed devout Catholic, so normally right there I would never expect to have a subversive consverssation with him, but he starts telling me all this f@#ked up stuff he has read about meat that made him quit eating it all together. Now, I eat meat (in moderation) but I fill him in that personally, I would love to quit eating red meat completely but things like hamburgers and all beef franks are so ingrained in me that it is actually scary to think of going without them for the rest of my life, not like I eat them everyday, but You know, from time to time. So this guy I find is a really good, intelligent person who thinks outside the normal dimensions that other people with similar status' are trapped in. He tells me to go to DrDay.com and what I find there, if I take the time to ingest it, will do that final trick and end my red meat eating days. Its that fucked up.
Well, I go there and it seems Dr. Day has a rather Christian bent going on, and of course, anyone with a) a website b) 'answers' with a parallel to a Christian version of 'God' and c) items of informative value for sale on said website makes me suspicious.
So my ? is, does anyone here know anything about this Dr. Day? I mean, it seems like there may be something there, just based on what little is available on the website free-of-charge (suspicion again), but, You know, I will pay for info that is valid, but if this is just 'pray pray pray' answers to serious issues, well, I ain't interested!

I made a little search, and came up with this:
http://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/Cancer/day.html
Although this particular doctor, Stephen Barrett, doesn't seem any more trustworthy to me than the dear Dr. Day. He's extremely populistic, which makes me paranoid as hell. Still, he does make some nice points about holes in Day's story.

Personally, I'd throw them both out and just make up my own mind.

..."Day's 10-tape audio series, "Conquering Confusion about your medical treatment," illustrates the expansive nature of her thinking. Throughout these tapes, she describes a conspiracy for world domination -- with roots going back over 200 years -- whose elements include the AIDS virus (created to reduce world population from 6 billion to 500 million); fluoridation; vaccination; pornography; gun control; food irradiation; chemotherapy; radiation treatments; bank centralization; junk food; the medical profession; television programming; computer games (used to program children); subliminal television messages; rock music (a basic "beat" was created to make young people "susceptible to drugs and sex"); the CIA; government-controlled food-management organizations; "the Illuminati" (who began working toward a new world order in 1776); the Rockefeller Foundation, the American Cancer Society; laser and DVD technology; television boxes (that can be used to spy on people) the Communist Manifesto (promoted by the U.S. Government); the news media (behind every story there is a plan controlled from a central source); rewriting of school textbooks; cover-up of the real killers of President John Kennedy, Robert Kennedy, Princess Diana, and Martin Luther King; "diabolic plans for your health care"; melting of the polar ice cap; and plans by National Aeronautic and Space Agency (NASA) to use rocket power to relocate the Earth further way from the Sun. To guard against these many alleged dangers, she advises everyone to stop watching commercial television (because after only a few minutes, watchers lose the ability to think rationally and resist the "lies" that permeate our society). She also states that cancer patients cannot get well if they work or watch television and that getting medical care and taking medication are a betrayal of God [3]."

....sounds to me like Ms. day really wishes she was writing for Vertigo.
Thanks for the link, it was very interesting.
