Gary Null is the Kent Hovind of Alternative Medicine

Thanks to all who mirrored.

Gary Null is the “Grandaddy of All Quacks”. He was recently in the news, and I decided to do a little digging on his education, qualifications, and honors. What I learned was… well… not that surprising for a man that sells magnetic bras and chi-enhancing jock straps.

Anyone who thinks Gary is a real contributor to the field of nutrition would do well to read his one 1982 article on garlic, or his Penthouse publications.

I also find it highly suspect that he is both diagnosing the world’s ills, and also crassly selling the “cures” on his website.
