Dietitians, Nutritionists, and Quacks

What’s a Nutritionist Anyways?

A Nutritionist is a person who engages in the study of nutrition. Some are Registered Dietitians, others are self-described experts, who might not have any training or expertise. An RD is a person who went to an accredited school and earned a BS or MS in dietetics and is registered with the American Dietetic Association.

Fake Credentials: Be Aware

Thousands of people posses false degrees in ‘nutrition’. And hang up signs on their offices with the title “Nutritionist”, when in reality they’re completely unqualified. You should scrutinize these people. Check to see if they went to Correspondence Schools - diploma mills that sell certificates/degrees to anyone who pays a fee.

Real Life Example:

A good example of this is Kim Barnouin, the author of Skinny Bitch. She flaunts her Masters Degree in Holisitc Nutrition - which she acquired from Clayton College. A non credited school that sends degrees that actually filed Chapter 11 recently. Barnouin is also listed on www.quackwatch.com

  1. skinny bitch is a joke. I read 10 pages of it in the bookstore and put it down. It basically tells you not to eat. If you fuel your body with fruits, veggies, whole grains and healthy fats, you shouldn't have to starve yourself and only eat salad!

  2. Thank you! It's true, Skinny Bitch is an unhealthy diet fad that leaves you hungry. I am thinking of identifying and criticizing one fad diet a week - this will be one of them.

  3. That would be great! South Beach/Atkins, Jenny Craig, Medifast, the list could go on and on and on.

  4. Irrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Lung Cancer,Breast Cancer,Lupus,Lymne Disease,psoriasis,Colo-Rectal Cancer,Blood Cancer,Prostate Cancer,siva.Fatal Familial Insomnia Factor V Leiden Mutation ,Epilepsy Dupuytren's disease,Desmoplastic small-round-cell tumor Diabetes ,Coeliac disease,Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease,Cerebral Amyloid Angiopathy, Ataxia,Arthritis,Amyotrophic Lateral Scoliosis,Brain Tumor,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity
