Jet, linking me to the SMHP this would be like me linking you to the PCRM in a reality where the broader scientific community supports an animal-based diet. "Not all doctors believe that! Check out the PCRM!" in a world where an exclusive carnivore diet reduces the rates of major chronic diseases by double digits, and you'd tell me I'm cherry-picking like the far-right cherrypicks climate scientists who don't believe in man-made climate change.
Closing the loop on soliciting feedback on my evidentiary standards process: You can't look at it because you know you disagree with my conclusions. That seems rather circular
A document which answers many of the critiques you brought up in your post edits above (wrt SAD).
I'm simply providing counter evidence to the blanket statement that "the entirety of medical academia and all of the health institutions that are wrong"
I'm reading what you wrote, and responding to it as written, I'm taking you seriously, which I hope you do for me as well.
Now your just putting words in my mouth.
Okay, to be fair, that's what I'm hoping you would say to me in that reality. Even with animal ethics at stake in that alternate reality, I would hope you'd call me out. When I say the entire biology community believes in evolution, the entire climatology community believes in man-made climate change, and the entire medical community believes vaccines do not cause autism, that isn't a literal mathematical universal qualification; it's saying that the support is so overwhelming that any dissent is absolutely negligible and not even worth considering.
If that is your worldview on things you believe no wonder you always end up attacking me and my character.
