Well, thank you for at least responding, but 3-4 lines and a link to a health site isn't what I meant. I asked you to provide a scientific justification for the claims made of ACV, and you simply haven't done so. What you've done is provide me with links to "health food sites" trying to sell me something, which isn't the proven science I was asking about. Just so you know, "proven science" isn't coming from pharmaceutical companies" it's usually coming from accredited universities and/or governmental studies. Since you don't believe in these, clearly you have none to give. That is fine, but it also means your beliefs are not based on actual, published, scientific fact---but rather on beliefs you have formed reading health articles. These do not constitute published facts, but rather they constitute published "opinions," and there is a big difference. You might want to read my thread on Quackery claims, versus accepted science, just so you know the difference.

Turpentine
Now then, even though you failed to provide a shred of scientific evidence to back up your claims, let me address your own questions about my herbal products, there is plenty of scientific evidence to support the ingredients I have in them. Let's start with my medicinals, the main ingredient of which is Turpentine. Aside from the fact the landmark vet products Cut-Heal, which has turpentine as its main ingredient (and who's received awards for their product for nearly 40 years) ... not to mention the fact Nu-Stock, which has the related pine oil as its main ingredient (and who's likewise received awards for over 30 years) ... use the same ingredients as I do ... the fact of the matter is THE #1 All-Time HUMAN Cold-Remedy Medicine Company Vicks USA has been using turpentine in its products since it began in 1890. In fact, their entire line of chest-rub/vapor products is composed of nothing but combinations of the PROVEN medicinals turpentine, camphor, eucalyptus oil, menthol, cedarleaf oil, nutmeg oil, etc. These are FDA-approved drugs, which proves by definition that the ingredients have been demonstrated-effective. And, actually, Vicks is one of the few companies who survived the "fraud medicine scandal," more than 100 years ago, when the US Government seized multiple companies making medicinal claims at the turn of the 19th Century, either dissolving them or forcing them to drop their claims (if fraudulent). The Vicks company survived, and has prospered FOR MORE THAN A CENTURY, precisely because its turpentine- and camphor-based products work. Turpentine has governmental proof of working on anything from root canals to bronchitis, intestinal worms, ringworm, and even inoperable cancer of the uterus.

Sulfur
Regarding the benefits of sulfur (sulphur), these have been proven since the dawn of time. Aside from the widely-used topical applications to cure mange, as well as to cure fungus, there are also the derivative medicinal products of sulfur we know as MSM and DMSO.

Neem Oil
Regarding the effectiveness of neem oil, ranges from pest control, larva control, to control of aflatoxins. There are literally hundreds of governmental studies that have been performed on this oil, just Google science + abstract + neem oil and you will find them

Feeding Raw
Regarding eating raw, this is a complex subject, with the facts going either way depending on the food item you're talking about. Since I only got 3 lines and a dead link out of you, I am not going to give too much of my time on this VAST subject, but let's start out with the fact researchers at the National Cancer Institute found that human subjects who ate meats rare or medium-rare had less than one third the risk of stomach cancer than those who ate beef medium-well or well-done:

  • "Heterocyclic amines (HCAs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are chemicals formed when muscle meat, including beef, pork, fish, or poultry, is cooked using high-temperature methods, such as pan frying or grilling directly over an open flame (1). In laboratory experiments, HCAs and PAHs have been found to be mutagenic—that is, they cause changes in DNA that may increase the risk of cancer."

Now keep in mind, that is regarding human-cooked meats ... that still remain moist ... let alone the over-cooking done to create kibble! Now, some foods (corns, wheats, rice) cannot even be used unless they're cooked, so cooking is not always bad; in some cases it's necessary. Regarding vegetables, the facts can go either way, However, regarding meats, any type of extreme cooking is simply bad, in any number of ways. It is a proven fact that diet alone causes more than 1/3rd of all cancers. Nitrosamines from cooking can also cause cancer.

Now then, I have given you about 10x the amount of time and effort you have given me, and that's cool. However, I think you will find (if you do put in the time and effort) that no actual medical documentation exists for the medicinal use of ACV.

Cheers,

Jack
