Abandon all hope, ye salesmen who enter here! There is a critique of the credentials and claims of "Dr." Wigmore on the web pages of the non-profit consumer organization National Council Against Health Fraud www.ncahf.org. See the NCAHF Newsletter, Vol 17 #5, Sept-Oct 1994, which states, for example, that Wigmore, who identified herself as a Doctor of Divinity, did not hold a degree from any accredited institution. Wigmore founded the Hippocrates Health Institute in Boston and promoted a diet of raw vegetables and juices. I do not doubt that many people benefit from this diet, considering the unhealthfulness of the typical America meal. But no real person, as far as I know, has ever been reported as cured of Parkinson's disease by anything, diet included. > "...Now I will have been on the therapy for two full months, next > Monday, and all my shakes have gone. It was like being born > again. Unbelievable!" J.Y. Tasmania If J.Y. of Tasmania experienced a great reduction in symptoms, could it be that the change to a vegetarian diet, which would have meant a great reduction in protein and fat, had the effect of increasing the bioavailability of J.Y.'s sinemet?
