god he loves to hear himself talk.
yeah he does. haha. everything about him is so fake.
That being said…
…I’m into apple cider vinegar and Braggs is a good brand for it.
However, if he was a real man, he’d shoot it straight.
and wear a kilt.
What?!?
[QUOTE=Dale Dugas;1230249]and wear a kilt.[/QUOTE]
Dude. NO!
Remember folks..
There is NOTHING unreasonable about asking $45.00 for a two(2) ounce bottle of pre-made jow! :rolleyes::o
Btw..he says “Kung fu supremasis”? What is “supremasis”?
And “magic” formula? I can buy probiotics off the shelf!
Whats even funnier is..when he takes a sip he gets this look on his face which is like “yeeaccchhhh..I cant believe I took a sip of this sh-t”..LOL
wow… That is a serious delusional individual there.
Just…wow.
I get the feeling it’s some kind of spoof. He has this knowing grin, as if he’s having a laugh with the viewer. Some kind over-the-top parody.

A troll trolling the trolls, in some sort of recursive meta-troll operation.
What about his kung fu though?
[QUOTE=LaterthanNever;1230533]What about his kung fu though?[/QUOTE]
He’s sweetening Apple cider vinegar so he can drink it.
Talk about lacking in Fortitude.
I bet he couldn’t handle a good whiskey or a strong black beer.

His footwork is ok..but his Hsing Yi seems a little stiff…
Thoughts?

Nazi? only thing that comes to mind when said.

Should I really answer that? 
Proponents of a scientifically unverified alternative medical practice, criticizing a scientifically unverified alternative dietary practice?
I’m not sure its fair to call him a snake oil salesman since he personally doesn’t appear to be actually selling anything. He seems to be just another one of these voodoo diet fad fanatics to me. From looking at a couple of his vids, it seems a bunch here are upset that he’s a shaolin-do’er and passing stuff off as “traditional.” Which begs the question, how is SD any different as far as traditional goes? But there’s a whole thread on that I suppose I could read, if I really cared.
I will say this, he is in pretty good shape, probably better than most here on KFM. That said, he is wrong on a number of things. Particularly is this pH diet bullshit. Its a healthy diet because you’re doing what people have been telling forever now, cutting out to excess fat, sugars, processed foods, etc. It has nothing to do with pH. And it certainly doesn’t cure cancer. In fact, the idiot that came up with this diet is a convicted felon, who had someone die taking his advice. Its amazing so few people fact check the crap they follow.
Edit Disclaimer: I should say that, as much as I like to call out BS, I don’t think “all” TCM stuff is bogus. There’s a number of things that I have a tentative belief that could potentially be medically helpful. But there’s a difference between belief and scientifically verified.

Is this in regards to TCM or internal kung fu?

The pendulum sways on both sides: east/west, holistic/conventional.
I see this a lot in my practice. The extremities are:
[INDENT]One side puts blind faith in anything conventional because it must have gone through rigerous scientific testing or it wouldn’t be true. The problem with this is that there are a lot of theories that are considered to be absolute within the conventional paradigm that have no real scientific evidence to support them (like the “saturated fat = heart disease”, or the “statins protect you from heart disease” bullsh!t). If you don’t support these notions, then you must be a quacky quack quack that hates science.
The other side rejects all things conventional; either because it’s new or because of worries about dirty money (which is a valid concern, but…(*see below)). This side feels that the older it is, the more proven it is, and - I guess - that as long as it gives you nice, happy feelings inside or someone can say lots of complex sounding things, it must be good. There is little to no science on this side. As you said, there is support for all kinds of odd things (having a background in nutrition, I see this a ton with diet-related claims) but most of them don’t hold water.[/INDENT]
In The Web that Has No Weaver, Ted Keptchuk writes:
..many Westerners have strange notions about Chinese Medicine. Some of them see it as hocus-pocus - the product of primitive or magical thinking. If a patient is cured by herbs or acupuncture, they see only two possible explainations: either the cure was a placebo effect, or it was an accident, the happy result of hit-or-miss pin sticking that the practitioner did not understand. They assume that current Western science and medicine have a unique handle on truth - all else is superstition
Other Westerners have a more favorable view of Chinese medicine. Deeply and often justifiably disturbed by many of the products of Western science and culture, they assume that the Chinese system, because it is felt to be more ancient, more spiritual, or more holistic, is also more “true” than Western medicine.
His follow-up really nails it:
Both attitudes mystify the subject - one by uncritically undervaluing it, the other by setting it on a pedestal. Both are barriers to understanding.
Of course, this could probably just be summarized with Henri Poincare’s quote:
To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection.
You can’t believe everything you hear on one side or the other. The only real solution for the lay person, is to get a basic understanding of how science works and the scientific method. Then, at least one can acid test a theory instead of blindly diving right in. This would eliminate a lot of bullsh!t on both sides…
(*I got in to a debate once with some wing nut about vegan diets or some nonsense having to do with bullsh!t diet claims. I tried giving her a few studies to read.. Her response was that you can’t trust anything in sceince journals because they’re industry funded :eek::D:rolleyes:.. Nevermind actually analysing the data itself. It was automatically wrong because it was in a journal.. I must ponder on how she thinks things are proven or disproven…)
For a number of years now I’ve used unfiltered apple cider vinegar to treat soreness in my legs. I’ve got low arches, so standing all day is not good for me… even with corrective orthodics. Long story short, I tried something out of desperation - I really didn’t think it would work - and it actually worked quite well.
1tsp of ACV + 4oz of water (more or less probably doesn’t make a difference. Not sure. I’m not a biochemist :D)
Tastes nasty, but it works well, and there’s less GI upset as compared to NSAID’s. Though, if you use it everyday, it will lose effect, just like NSAID’s will.
There may be something beneficial to his sooper amazing traditional Shao-lin monk drink but… I dunno if I’d want to drink it every day (or many times a day).. :rolleyes:
