The New Mister Natural

  • (2 of 2)

    Null, of course, objects to these objections, insisting he can back up his claims. A lot of his corroboration, however, is in the form of testimonials from followers--anecdotal evidence that carries almost no scientific weight. Throughout his writing, he does cite doctors and researchers, giving the material greater authority. On one of Null's pbs videos, he even appears with a panel of doctors who provide reassurance that at least some of his promises of good health are backed up by good science.

    All this leaves Null's believers with a decidedly mixed message. For those willing to go panning through his books looking for the gold mixed in with the sediment, there's a lot to be had. For many consumers, particularly seriously ill ones, that may simply be too much to ask. Null himself acknowledges that staying healthy can be a difficult business, requiring people to rip out the very foundation of their beliefs about health care. The problem is, some of what he's replacing it with feels a little wobbly too.
