Paul Fassa is a gibberingly insane ignoramus who writes for
Mike Adams’s website NaturalNews,
and one of the less well hinged contributors there (which says quite a bit).
Fassa is, for instance, a “germ theory” denialist.
That particular idiocy is the main topic of his own blog Health Maven, which
bills itself as an “escape from the medical mafia matrix” (he usually doesn't get in many sentences in before invoking the nazis). As he puts it “We
have been taught to fear germs, pathogens, viruses, and bacteria that invade us
from out there. This is the Pasteur model of disease contagion. This creates a
dependency on Big Pharma to protect us from invading microbes, each having one form
(monomorphic) and creating one specific disease […]” Instead, Fassa adopts the
pleomorphic theory of disease, according to which microorganisms are the result
of – not the cause of – disease. He accepts it because it is not accepted by
science and has no evidence going for it, which is supposed to prove that it is
not the favored theory of the Illuminati and therefore must be right (by the power of conspiracy). That, and
some profound misunderstanding of microbiology, medicine and physiology. It is
discussed here.
You may already have an idea of what he thinks about vaccines.
Diagnosis: A walking, talking cognitive disaster. And
Naturalnews is sufficiently popular for his nonsense to have some impact.
And I think you are a loon, more so than Paul Fassa!.
ReplyDeleteI agree Ozziegirl. This guy is delusional.
ReplyDeleteI am honored to be included in the American Loon List. It's a tribute to my earnest attempts at shedding the truth on the medical mafia, similar to the "Quackbuster " epithet thrown on real healers who step outside the medical mafia matrix. Thank you - Paul Fassa, American Loon # 663
ReplyDeleteYou should actually be ashamed of yourself for such breathtaking ignorance and lack of intellectual integrity. Is it willful, your rejection of scientific rigor, methodology, and logic? I just don't get it, but it's disgraceful.
DeleteHis articles take a theory (his) and then he looks for proof of it.
ReplyDeleteHe never looks for evidence that might disprove it. Then he publishes his "research" as the truth.
He underrates Sars virus, Swine flu, Ebola. He ignores the deaths, the amount of work done to contain Ebola, the deaths and incapacitation resulting from Swine flu, the danger of the Sars virus in the hands of terrorists.
Having an opinion that is set against pharmaceuticals etc is fine, but his opinions find their way to vulnerable people, who believe every anti establishment theory they read without discernment.
Read his articles by all means, many make interesting points and lead to other reading.
Beef up your immune system with good nutrition and complimentary medicine, but sometimes the medical establishment is where you need to go.
Remember all the deaths from diphtheria, smallpox, polio, whooping cough etc etc, a strong immune system alone can often not fight these things.
I have been looking for a place to tell Paul Fassa that he needs a good editor. I found two errors in the first two paragraphs of an article about magnesium. Nobody trusts medical information and advice if it has typos.
ReplyDeleteTwo!? Try again. How many words has he written? That's how many errors there are.
DeleteI was tight with Tall Paul in the sixties; we were in a clique that drove to San Francisco from the Lower East Side of NYC, back when he was sane, mellow, and personable. But he really lost it on the SF scene after bingeing on cheap meth for many months. An uneducated beatnik dropout, although he feigns encyclopedic knowledge, he doesn't know doodleysquat about diddleydoo. I felt sorry for him way back then, and still do.
ReplyDeletedideysquat and diddleydoo, who the f... are you? I remember everyone in that clique from NTC to SF. Just need to know who's coming up with me as someone posing to possess encyclopedic knowledge - who would make that up? Yes I did really mess myself up enough using speed for a few months, enough for me to get involved with the cult called Scientology for too long as a method to get re-hinged.
ReplyDeleteAhh - it's you Dave.
ReplyDeleteDave's not here. I think he had an earache.
DeleteI knew Paul very well in SoCal back in the 1990s when we worked together at AFF. Had wonderful times with Paul and his wife. Paul is intelligent, loving and one of the funniest guys I've ever known. Great sense of humor, always fun to be around. He told me about his earlier career with Scientology. He and his wife were high up in the organization before they got hip to it and left, and thanks to Paul's advice I was able to get my mom to steer clear (no pun intended) before she got in too deep. He also told me a great, but at the same time tragic story of when he was living in Florida, he and his roommate heard a gunshot in the apartment on the floor below theirs. They ran down to discover that their downstairs neighbor had shot his girlfriend. They all waited together for the police to arrive. The dude has seen more than his share of adventure, If I were still in touch with Paul, likely we'd disagree on vaccines and germ theory, but he has a good heart and he comes from a place of love. I think his time at Scientology set the stage for a distrust of anything that smacks of unethical leadership. Also, back in the day, Paul was a top-notch writer. Internet writers probably don't have editors. I think editors are an expensive luxury that are probably only available to people like John Grisham.
