If you follow NewAge (and those sorts of things) the cues start to jump out at you, because you see them all the time:
A poop cult is taking over social media. Cult leader Jillian Epperly has convinced her followers that pooping is the only way to rid the body of disease. Jillian Epperly encourages her followers to drink fermented cabbage to rid their body of every illness. She has written a few “books” on her protocol. She claims her protocol is the answer for all disease. Her followers are encouraged to abandon all pharmaceuticals, medications, treatments, adhere to a strict diet, and stop all supplements. Jillian Epperly is not a doctor or scientist. She is a dangerous con-artist that is hurting people and has been linked to several suspected deaths.
I'd known about NewAge's killer poop fetish, starting all the way back in 2008, so I'm not surprised. Nor does the focus on supplements, pro or con. NewAgers are obsessed with them. It's all truly boilerplate. Just same old, same old. That's what makes people falling for it so odd: Is this particular formulation of bullshit acting powerfully on the mind, or are people really super dense, and just can't see it?
Good ol' Arianna Huffington - until she's stopped (or gathers anyone's on to her) that bitch won't quit.
Speaking of not quitting, I used a photo of the anorexic twin sisters who recently died together in a fire. Pretty bizarre since anorexics can't usually see what's happening to themselves - the mirror image of being twins must've been a death knell for both of them. Sad shit, man.
If you're someone "concerned about your weight," and it's basically normal, do me a favor and be sure to check out the latest study on Calorie Restriction and Longevity.
It won't save your life, but it might calm-you-the-fuck-down a little bit - you need it,...
Please, everybody, keep bombarding me with all your different ways to "protect" my health. Please keep coming up with new rules to make my food more expensive and to deprive me of the ones I want the most because you've decided they're not "good" for me. Please keep turning my dinner plate into a medicine cabinet. Please keep informing me of everything that "may" happen (without also mentioning it may not) while pumping the fear factor up to 10 when there's no evidence anything you're saying is true. Please keep telling me about "Cures Your Doctor Doesn't Want You To Know About" and remedies people who only lived until 30 used long, long time ago.
Keep telling me about your fear of contaminants, and pesticides, and how often I should wash my fruits and vegetables, despite the fact I grew up healthy and happy without such concerns before your opinionated ass came along. Keep telling me of your miracle cures, and your bizarre new diets, and what some fashion model or other celebrity with the intelligence of a rock suggests. Keep telling me of your fears, Fears, FEARS, and then, when I tell you I don't share them and won't go along, get defiant and seriously ask me "What are you afraid of?" like I haven't been listening to your cowardly ass for decades.
Keep doing everything you can to disconnect yourself from the real world of people and food, until your shit comes out in plastic bags and you're eating nothing but organic this or that at 50 cents more per item than it's worth, as we all go broke doing what the rest of the world couldn't be bothered with, because it's unnecessary and they don't have (or want) a Whole Foods, while condemning anyone who doesn't look like they just wandered out of The Holocaust - like that's going to make things better. Keep it up:
"[Arianna Huffington's] desire to be different became,...clear when I looked at her views about health. In her 2006 self-help book, 'On Being Fearless,' she provides her own definition of preventive care, one that's indistinguishable from Evans' blog post. 'In today's world, where thousands of chemicals are being used all around us, it's essential both to protect against exposure and to maintain some kind of detox program,' Huffington wrote. In the New Yorker, Collins revealed that Huffington has undergone 'mercury detoxification, fire-walking, est, microdermabrasion, infrared saunas' and a long list of fad diets. In 'On Being Fearless,' she gave a description of her own experience with mercury detox, saying she was 'stunned to find how much mercury I had in my body.'
What Huffington may not know is the test used to determine the amount of mercury in the body is a sham, as proven by medical researchers at the Department of Environmental and Occupational Health, Emory University and other public health institutes. The test artificially elevates the levels of heavy metals in one's body, falsely leading one to believe that they've been poisoned by toxins. In fact, a doctor who routinely prescribed the test has been investigated and disciplined.
In an e-mail to me, Huffington touched on her long and winding road through alternative therapies, dropping the names of major universities (Harvard, Stanford, Johns Hopkins, UCLA) with centers for complementary and alternative medicine, where she has been a patient. But health coverage on the site goes beyond complementary medicine. In fact, the more I read the site, the more I realized its health writers were being chosen not in the name of diversity or on the basis of their qualifications. Rather, as Collins revealed in the New Yorker, they appear to be picked by Huffington on a whim."
-- Rahul K. Parikh, M.D., on the piss-poor NewAge medical advice you can find on The Huffington Post - which is the same nutty nonsense he found coming from Oprah Winfrey - which isn't a surprise, except all of this looniness is being covered so well by Salon.
Minge met with her some-times side kick, Buttmunch Goop, in an attempt to recruit help with her “War on Global Sperming”.
Sources say the talk then veered off to reminiscing about how they both moved to London to be with their husbands.
Minge said that in light of her divorce, she would be putting her English accent up for sale on EBay. Goop replied that she would be keeping hers “a bit longer”.
When asked later if she was successful in recruiting help from Goop, Minge said “Well, Buttmunch tends to be a spitter, so what good would that do?”
"How does she keep off the weight? Easy—by not thinking about her weight. It's that simple."
-- "Seth", on "this 'denial diet,' this 'positive psychic body reinforcement' or whatever you wanted to call it" of Madonna's sweet-as-sugar girlfriend, Gwyneth "Fuck the Haters!" Paltrow - which even the queen of NewAge, Oprah Winfrey, didn't buy - but which proves (once again) NewAge beliefs lead one straight to becoming a crazy liar, which should be news, but only gets exposed here and on Defamer.
