My Manifesto: The Incoherent Ramblings of a Madman

Recipe for a New Fad Disease

* Pick any symptoms—the more common the better.
* Pick any disease—real or invented. (Real diseases have more potential for confusion because their existence can't be denied.)
* Assign lots of symptoms to the disease.
* Say that millions of undiagnosed people suffer from it.
* Pick a few treatments. Including supplements will enable health food stores and chiropractors to get in on the action.
* Promote your theories through books and talk shows.
* Don't compete with other fad diseases. Say that yours predisposes people to the rest or vice versa.
* Claim that the medical establishment, the drug companies, and the chemical industry are against you.
* State that the medical profession is afraid of your competition or trying to protect its turf.
* If challenged to prove your claims, say that you lack the money for research, that you are too busy getting sick people well, and that your clinical results speak for themselves.
