Dr.Oz #arthritis cure like #GAPS #diet

2.23: web.med/arthritis/Dr.Oz arthritis cure like GAPS diet:
Dr.Oz`guest: Jacob Teitelbaum, MD:
The 6-Week Arthritis Cure:
Rule out and treat infections and food allergies,
which can aggravate arthritis.
I usually treat my rheumatoid arthritis patients
with the antibiotic doxycycline
as this has been shown to be helpful in several studies.
The question is whether it
acts as an anti-inflammatory on its own
or is killing an infection causing the arthritis.

#cults sociological vs psychological definitions

11.22: web.relig/cults/sociological vs psychological definitions:
. the definition of a cult has been muddled by
attempts to prevent christianity from
falling under the definition of cult .
. the most popular forms of christianity
use authoritarianism to build solidarity
rather than cultivate a rational approach
to the interpretation of the scriptures .
. even if a cult can't be a mainstream religion
how do we know that today's christianity
will always be mainstream?
