My aunt went to him once.  Said he was a real b*stard, would ridicule 
patients into going "straight," words like "you're disgusting" were 
mentioned.    The low-carb thing seems to work for me though.

I'm refusing to worry about the Mad Cow thing just yet.  If I removed 
everything from my diet that was supposed to be bad for me, I'd have 
nothing to eat at all.  Chalk it up to cynicism born of media overload.
