I was not a Harry Potter fan, but you know what? I give Rowling a hell of a lot more respect as a "writer" then EL James. JK knew how to write a character and understand world building.

"And I think the fact that the books sold so well says and means something, and I don't think it's necessarily BAD."

Violently awful writing is so much more interesting than barely passable writing...

That's how vast swaths of the Harry Potter fandom felt about Mortal Instruments, and it wasn't even anywhere near as popular.

I'd rather people didn't read than choose to read something which normalises abusive relationships.

This sentence is a thing of beauty. It has brought so much joy to my cold, dead heart and I feel like nothing can bring me down today. Erin wins everything.

"Get it figured out" you obviously do not know how the system works. The hospital has access to patient files that would indicated ALL KNOWN allergies a patient has. Also on admittance to any hospital, the patient is interviewed prior to care (unless severe and immediate care is needed, then they would just go off the…

The medical community ARE cautious with allergic reactions. They don't use their patients as labrats. Allergic reactions are extremely varied in different people, and can be nearly impossible to find before a person is afflicted, depending on it's type.

I'm getting closer to fifty, know the words to 'Yellow Submarine' in Russian, and went to a Seder once. I will bless your space heater for a mere $200/pop.

The purpose of this book is to simplify the cause and the correction of all disorders, regardless of the name or names. As we eliminate and correct one disease, we correct them all, for every disease is…

If it means I get to live on a spaceship and have cute little robots bring me towels and stuff as I lay out by the pool and drink free milkshakes, FUCK YES let me be a Wall-E person.

IP isn't a detox. It's a managed, balanced-diet diet. You felt horrible during that first week because IP puts your body into ketosis during Phase I. So yes, it's "sugar" but really it's "low blood sugar," because your body was prevented from having any free glucose (which, by the way, is the brain's favorite food).

Thank you so much for this! I have serious chronic health issues that I have been battling for six years now. Three years ago we decided to change our entire lifestyle and went plant based. It worked wonders. This made me start researching more food based healing options and of course I came across these "detoxes." I…

I was then to drink between six and twelve glasses of lemonade, which consisted of lemon and maple syrup in proper proportions, with a small amount of cayenne added to wash out the mucus loosened by the cleanse.

My serious derp face is ready; someone bring me some animal skins from at least two different kinds of animal!

This is a BIG SPOILER. STOP HERE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW
