This spammer is propagating terrible
misinformation on his commercial website.
For example, in his recent article on
curcumin (substance from curry) he recommends
it as a dietary supplement without mentioning
its interactions with pharmaceutical drugs.
It inhibits the two most important drug-metabolizing
and drug-transporting enzymes (CYP3A4 and P-gp)
so it can increase the potency of drugs you may
be taking. This could have severe consequences
if you are taking a drug with a low therapeutic
index (a low difference between an effective
dose and a toxic dose).

Of course he won't warn you about that.
It would offend potential advertisers.
You won't get straight, accurate information
from this spammer because commercial interests
are slanting his articles.
