Weight Standards for Men and Women in the United States

The weight standards used by doctors in the United States are totally irrational. It appears that the "normative" standard that they are using is not normative at all. If they are taking an average of any group, this is not statistically valid. Even if they are taking an average of an ethnic group, this is not statistically valid. For example, Czechs, Germans, Latvians, etc., in the United States have Viking blood, and the men tend to be over 6' 5" tall, and they are big boned. The studied of men for weight do not account for bone size and bone density. The weight studies do not account for muscalature versus fat. For example, a professional athlete, who has virtually no body fat, who weighs 275 pounds, can be wrongfully, diagnosed as grossly obese. For example, when I was just out of law school, and was working out at the gym, lifting weights, swimming, and jumping rope, three time a week, as a 6' 5" male, my doctor told me that I should lose 10 pounds. This is absolutely ridiculous. Now, what I think is really going on is that these alleged studies are based on studies or models that are totally irrational. For example, it may be that American weight standards after World War II are based on a study of the weights of Japanese prisoners of war, who are small in stature, and who had been on starvation rations in an American Prisoner of War Camp for at least 6 months. The pre-World War II weight standards for Officers (college educated men) show that a 6' 5" male, officer, should weight between 350 and 450 pounds. See, for example, the weight of General Schwartkopf from the Gulf War. I have also heard that the Clinton weight standards were put togather by Hilary Clinton, and that the weight standards for men are based upon the weight of women. Apparently, the misogonsita (male hater) Hilllary Clinton was doing everything she could to torture and destroy American men. Finally, to the extent any seemingly valid studies have been done, they have probably been done with irrational standard deviations above .01% .

Cholesterol and Human Health

It appears that cholesterol in the human body is not the ogre that some persons have said. For example, cholesterol is need for the human body to manufacture testosterone and estrogen. In fact, it cholesterol is too low, it may cause psychological depression. The alleged danger or cholesterol is that it may cause a heart attack. However, medical research has shown that cholesterol is really not the cause of such heart attacks, but instead, they are caused by a low Vitimin C level in the human body. Moreover, there is strong evidence that statin anti-cholesterol drugs such as Lipitor do not lower cholesterol. Additionally, statin drugs such as Lipitor appear to have been linked to the following dangerous side effects:

-polyneurapathy (numbness in hands and feet)
-Dizziness
-Cognitive Impairment (such as memory loss)
-Cancer
-Liver disfunction
-Kidney disfunction
-psychological depression
-Immune System disfunction (analogous to HIV)

Thus, it is apparent, that even if there is some negative health impact from high cholesterol, taking the medication appears to be an even greater problem for human health. It may be that it is medical malpractice for a medical doctor to prescibe statin drugs such as Lipitor.

See generally, Dr. Mercola, M.D., "The Cholesterol Myth that is Harming Your Health" (2010), and, "Cholesterol, The Truth," The National Health Information Center.

Vegetarianism May Cause Blindness and Death

It is clear that Vegetarianism causes Blindness and Death in some cases. You see, eating meat such as beef, pork, turkey, and chicken, provide the human body with essential vitimins and minerals that are not supplied by a vegetarian diet alone. A Vegetarian diet results in the human body having a dangerous deficiency in the following nutrients: Vitimin A, vitimin B-12, Riboflavin, calcium, iron, and zinc. The foregoing dangerous deficiency causes such diseases as: anemia, poor growth, bone deterioration, rickets, mental retardation, blindness, muscle deterioration, and eventually death. For example Professional Basketball Player, Bill Walton, suffered from serious bone deterioration while he was on a Vegetarian diet. See, generally, "The Nutritional Importance of Animal Source Foods," Journal of Nutrition, November 2003. Given the foregoing, it may very well be medical malpractice for any medical doctor to prescribe a diet which is vegetarian in nature.
