I would like you to please tell me how the salts among other minerals,
added AFTER the fact are not simply enhancing the flavors present just
as in my example. You want to discredit my criticism of this theory,
but you have not directly refuted it. And if you reject that as a fair
appraisal of the argument, then the only option left to "explain"
DogMa's theory is exactly the same as the theories behind homeopathy.
Better yet, since it is not your "discovery," I would love to have
Dogma attempt to clear this up.

I knew that anyone who could back DogMa's original statements had to
have some connection or belief in homeopathy because that was what it
was all basically based around. I'm not bashing that belief, I don't
personally lend it any credence. I also do not want to cast stones, but
while Peter Farley may be smart... I would believe he is cashing in on
a big payday based on the "in" thing right now. There is a lot of money
to be made in homeopathy and selling proven ancient remedies for a
massive windfall. Especially when I can go to my local chinese herb
shop and have them make me a remedy for pennies that actually contains
the ingredients in a decent quantity that are believed to help the
situation, not less of them for many dollars. Smart, yes. Businessman,
yes. Greatest mind of our time, not in my eyes. I am not interested in
arguing or drawing this out much more than it already has been, I will
respectfully disagree with you and leave it at that. I saw through this
whole thing from the beginning, I am just speaking my mind and I am
more than willing to hear your side as objectively as possible.
