I have listened to his interview and it's really fascinating in theory, but a bit disappointing at the end when he acknowledges that he is nowhere near Dr. Hamer's expertise (comparing himself as a &amp;quot;student&amp;quot; and Dr. Hamer as a &amp;quot;10 times black belt&amp;quot;). The interview is still extremely mind opening explanation of GNM.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have just discovered a public letter from Caroline Markolin &amp;nbsp;explaining his lack of expertise in GNM:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We feel obliged to inform the public, and particularly those seeking medical support based on GNM, that there is no association of any kind between German New Medicine® (Dr. med Ryke Geerd Hamer) and Dr. David Holt (Integrative Medical Center, Nevada) who falsely presents himself as &amp;quot;the leading U.S. physician in German New Medicine&amp;quot;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We have another grave concern with regard to Dr. Holt being presented as &amp;quot;the leading U.S. physician in German New Medicine“ (despite his limited knowledge of Dr. Hamer’s research and no training in GNM brain CT-analysis).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can check and decide for yourself: &lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://germannewmedicine.ca/documents/holt_letter.html"&gt;germannewmedicine.ca/.../holt_letter.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another sad fact is that the most experienced doctor in the world for reading brain scans, Dr. Ryke Geerd Hamer, is being prosecuted and imprisoned in a way that resembles a &amp;quot;witch hunt&amp;quot; when in fact he could pass his valuable 30-year experience to other doctors for the sake of the Mankind. Knowledge like this should be spread, not shut down or patented.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;History is filled with individuals who were falsely accused, tried and executed just for telling the truth about their findings. Today's orthodox medicine with the help of judicial system is no better than inquisition in the dark ages. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When there is a change to be made in a System, somebody with most benefits from the current situation will do just about anything to stop that change. And boy, do we need to change!&lt;/p&gt;

My dad survived the murder of his entire family when Germany took over his country in WWII. And then he was in a forced labor camp. He didn't die of a heart attack from all this stress. &amp;nbsp;He died at 83. And he would have lived much longer if he hadn't taken so many antibiotics every time he got a cold. &amp;nbsp;It is a combination of a bunch of things. Stress, Exercise, Vaccines, Medicines, Environmental toxins etc. &amp;nbsp;This was a melodramatic attention grabber Dr. Mercola and I am ashamed. I didn't even watch it because I never watch cruelty to anything. &lt;/p&gt;

They used the fat that these diets were high in eggs and butter etc along with smoking. &amp;nbsp;Maybe the people lived long lives because they ate appropriately and smoking did not effect them so much. Who told you that eggs and butter were bad? The American Pharma machine. So the diet was not bad. My Uncle who is still traveling and skis in his late 70's on Europe smokes like a chimney but gets lots of exercise, and eats a diet high in&amp;quot;real foods' &amp;nbsp;He also never had all the vaccines that all our kids have today. They will probably die at 50 if they live that long.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As a regular reader of all Dr Mercola's newsletters, I was extremely disappointed to read the article - and see the video - about how two innocent dogs were experimented on. I think anyone with even the slightest amount of intelligence would have understood how an extremely cruel change in an animal’s environment (or a human’s, for that matter) could cause a heart attack. Nobody needed the demo!! I have to wonder what goes on in the mind of the person who carried out this experiment. Hope he feels damn good about himself and I hope he doesn’t own any animals. Equally disturbing and disappointing is Dr. Mercola’s comments, seemingly impressed with this insidious experiment. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Gail&lt;/p&gt;

I suspect that such a scenerio leads to some heart attacks. Indeed, everyone agrees that stress is a major contributor to heart diseaase. Yet many high stress people, even those who suffer major downfalls, do not succumb to heart disease. Likewise, some people who don't fit this profile die of previously undiagnosed heart disease. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I'd like to see the r-squared on such a study. How much heart disease is explaned by unresolved traumas or losses. I like the message that Dr. Mercola presents, reduce stress, but I think he hurts his case by overstating the findings of such work. This study likely says that unresolved losses are a strong predictor of heart disease, but do not explain all or even most all of heart disease. So are for that matter smoking and obesity risk factors, but many people with these risk factors do not have heart disease.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So take the message... Reduce all these risk factors. But don't overstate the case. &lt;/p&gt;

Stress does put you in an acid state=heart attack. Acid states = decreased cellular oxygen. &lt;/p&gt;

I don't take vitamin C (as has been mentioned) and I am a large meat and fat eater (saturated only) yet I neither suffer from any aches nor pains, have that 'feel good' factor everyday and, much to my wife's delight, still possess a healthy libido. With such experience it will be understood how difficult it is to accept the results of this and other like research findings; there has got to be something more to it which is being overlooked. &lt;/p&gt;

But what is stress? &amp;nbsp;Mental stress is a state of mind. What causes it is how you set up your priorities. If, for example, your priority number 1 is your hair then even the normal daily hair loss of few can make you worry, cause you a lot of stress and eventually more hair loss! Set up your priorities properly and realistically and you avoid most of the stress causes in life. Still the main causes of all diseases whether it's cancer or a heart attack or most of other illnesses is your life style, including provision of all the essentials of a healthy life; physically, emotionally and mentally. You are like the tree which is growing in the right soil and with the right environment surrounding it can stand the strongest storm for a long while. Make sure you get enough early night sleep, pure water, fresh air, exercise, right food for which biologically you've been made, set up realistic goals for your life, find the job which can give you joy and give your life a value, enjoy the social life with a positive attitude, and care for yourself and others around you, then you will be on the safe side of life with very little chances of stress giving you even a headache let alone a hear attack or stroke.&lt;/p&gt;

I cannot stomach any kind of experimentation on helpless animals. I cant handle animals that are being neglected and literally thrown away when a human doesnt want them. &amp;nbsp;(could explain why I have a lot of cats. They are pretty much unwanted here in rural Maine and used for target practice. NO, I am NOT kidding.)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &amp;nbsp; Since animals are not humans I dont see why we have to use them for experiments. They dont get the same types of diseases nor do they have our lifestyles. &amp;nbsp; Get the convicted and jailed pedophiles, child murderers and rapists, abusers of old people and all around scum of humanity on the experiment table. That might be closer to real life- and -worthwhile research!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I agree with the &amp;quot;Give it to God&amp;quot; (and yes, not take it back). The Bible has mention of this (Mathew 25-33). But there goes the &amp;quot;Humans are animals&amp;quot; theory doesn't it. To each their own but I'll put my trust in God and according to Him, I am no animal (not that they should be mistreated). &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I appreciate science and am very grateful for it’s many breakthroughs but to me it is no more than figuring out today, what God did yesterday and we still have a long long way to go. Yes, that can save lives and help mankind live more comfortably but when science is unable to come up with a logical explanation for God, and starts discrediting the existence of God because it cannot scientifically prove it, then I guess all of your hopes are in science and/or the philosophy of men. Again, not knocking science in any way but we must also remember science is always finding and patching up its miscalculations and mistakes. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I truly believe God was way ahead of us on this one as He is on everything else as well. Keep stress, worry, and anxiety out of your life as much as possible. Live a long, full, Godly, healthy, peaceful and loving life.&lt;/p&gt;
