Indeed yes but I’m curious as to whether Mr Holford himself has ever mentioned the House of Lords recommendation about these tests. His cv states that he is invited to the House of Lords as an ‘expert on optimum nutrition’, something which, I imagine, might enhance his authority in the eyes of his supporters. So, in the interests of transparency, one might expect that he would make his customers aware that the HoL has actually taken a position firmly against endorsement of self-tests for food allergy or intolerance?

*Mild* depression being the important distinction.

I benefit from walks and sunlight - and even a high luminosity lamp this Winter (dunno if it was any more than a placebo response, obviously), but I would be nowhere near as well as I am now if I weren’t on SSRIs.

Amazingly, that is the kind of thing the GPs recommend - exercise, get out and about, garden, walk… it simply suits Holfraud & co.s als sales pitch to repeat ad nauseam “those pill-pushing doctors, you walk through the door and they put you on an SSRIs, which are bad for you, you know”. Next thing you know the “Nutritionist” is recommending tryptophan or 5-HTP. Kerchinng.

IT. IS. A. CON.

Nigel, he doesn’t work for the University of Teeside. They made him a “Visiting Professor”, to the disgust of the real scientists there. For details see e.g. here and here. Of course, being a man of utter honesty he makes clear that he is not a pukka Professor….. not.

I feel sorry for Teeside Univ’s real scientist but the only way to do something is to publically shame Teeside about Holford at every turn.
