Quoted message said:I have not found a newsgroup that offers information on or support for "The
Maker's Diet" by Jordan Rubin... so I created one on Yahoo Groups. If
someone knows of one that is already going, established, etc. - please let
me know about it. Otherwise, I'd like to invite anyone that wishes to
participate to come visit the new group I just set up.

Again, if there's a group already set up - it's not my intention to reinvent
the wheel (so to speak) so let me know by sending me a message at
[NoSpam|mark_at_markscott_dot_net] I think you can firgure out how to get
the actual email address (to avoid spam)
Take care,

"Maker's Diet" author tied to illegal supplement marketing. The FDA
has ordered Garden of Life of West Palm Beach, Florida, to stop making
unsubstantiated claims for "Q-Zyme,""Primal Defense," "Virgin Coconut
Oil," "Fungal Defense," "FYI (For Your Inflammation)," "RM-10,"
"Revivall Classic," or other products. [Singleton ER. Warning letter
to Robert U. Craven. May 11, 2004] The company was founded by Jordan
S. Rubin, "NMD, PhD, CNC," who claims to have cured himself of
"intestinal parasites, severe Candida, extreme anemia, food allergies,
diabetes, excruciating abdominal pain, chronic diarrhea, poor
circulation, liver problems, chemical sensitivities, chronic fatigue,
fibromyalgia, arthritis, insomnia, hair loss, prostate and bladder
infections, irregular heartbeat, eye inflammation, and chronic
depression." Rubin's credentials have no legitimate academic or
professional standing:
His NMD (naturopathic medical doctor) is from the Peoples University
of the Americas School of Natural Medicine, a nonaccredited school
with no campus.
His Ph.D. is from the Academy of Natural Therapies, a nonaccredited
correspondence school that the State of Hawaii ordered to close last
year.
His CNC (Certified Nutritional Consultant) comes from the American
Association of Nutritional Consultants, whose only requirement for
"professional member" status has been payment of a $50 or $60 fee. The
CNC requires passage of a test based mainly on the contents of books
that promote nutrition quackery.
Rubin's book, "The Maker's Diet," is number 14 on the New York Times
list of hardcover advice books. The book's Web site states that Rubin
"uses Biblical and scientific resources to provide a uniquely holistic
wellness program." Entrepreneur Magazine listed Garden of Life as the
fifth fastest-growing company in America, with 2003 sales of $43.2
million.
