Sorry you feel that way, Gary.
So, you don't deny that you lied...duly noted.
You should know by now that it remains my choice to write
truthfully :-)
<LOL> This is even funnier than when he was still slightly sane.
Chung's deliberate falsifications are still in the notes (above) that
he wrote... and then he says he writes honestly. It's beyond sad. It's
tragically, and apparently irretrievably, funny in a most macabre way.
He posted this following quote to everyone who offered detailed
information about what an omer actually is:
"I stand corrected not by you but by a kind soul who has informed
me that 'omer' in Hebrew literally means 'a certain unit of weight.'
So an 'omer' probably was about 2 pounds (or almost 1 kilogram)
because that is all that someone needs to reach and maintain 'ideal'
body weight, ime:"
This anonymous "expert" told him something that was simply wrong, if
indeed there ever was a correspondent at all. Chung's catalogs of lies
and posturings are legendary. He decided to accept the words of "a
kind soul" in the face of many other reliable sources. Why? Because it
let him not admit a mistake and because he could bring his OCD
Scrupulosity to bear on his absurd diet and begin to claim it has a
divine approval.
Quoted message said:Also, note that Exodus 16:16 reminds us that 16 oz plus 16 oz makes
2 pounds, which is "a certain measure of weight," which is what
"omer" literally means in Hebrew.
Poor, bizarre Chung. Omer is a unit of volume. Always has been; always
will be. It only translates into weight in a specific Jewish holiday
where barley is measured into a container that holds one omer. The
barley always weighs the same given the constant volume of the container.
And that strange 16:16 number foolishness only makes him look even
more disjunctive from reality than the rest of his ravings do.
Quoted message said:Enter the 2PD-OMER Approach:
http://www.heartmdphd.com/wtloss.asp
Chung has been shown that an omer is 3.7 liters from biblical scholars
and from both primary and secondary sources. He so, so desperately
wants his wacko 2PD to be the brainstorm he inflatedly imagines it to
be that all reason has deserted him and all honesty with it.
So, his 2PD...
First it was what Mt.Everest climbers eat, he said, based on his
seeing an IMAX film.
Then it was still a good idea even after some reasonable people raised
questions about how 2 pounds of food a day was the perfect
prescription for everyone; people wanting to lose weight and people
trying to maintain their weight. He insisted and began spamming other
groups with his "message."
Then he said to temper it with a little common sense; don't just eat
two pounds of chocolate or sugar a day. Common sense undefined.
Then it was check with your doctor. Chung seems to have come
approximately to reality and realized the liability that his medical
advice raises for him. So he changed his story to cover his ass.
All along it has been that there have been no failures or dropouts.
Suddenly he says it has about 90,000 people all over the world doing
it and if anyone dropped out, he would hear about it.
Then it became a "lifestyle change." Just like all the other weight
loss notions are.
Now it's divinely inspired and supported by his blatant, deliberate
distortion of biblical references - an omer is 3.7 liters; no ifs ands
or buts about it.
Oh, Exodus 16:16 says:
"This is the thing which the Lord hath commanded, Gather of it
everyman according to his eating, an omer for every man, according to
the number of your persons; take ye every man for them which are in
his tents."
Since we have no knowledge of what manna is - and that's what they
were gathering "an omer for every man" - we have no idea how much it
weighed or what its nutrient content was. No idea of calories. No idea
if it made people gain or lose weight. Just no idea...
Poor, poor, delusional Chung.
