Mark, on a number of occasions I have caught your ignorance of a
matter, but noted it personally and privately only. I never brought
it
out in the open. Perhaps in the future, I'll take you up on the
challenge.
You'll note that I have posted, in full, the article from the site.
There is not a spam element when doing this (it is not a snippet with
a link to a full article); there is no advertising in my post, or any
advertising on the site (I chose not to go with Google mini-ads). All
my affiliations are listed in the author's biosketch, and I do not
sell or have any commercial affiliation with organic produce (today's
subject), or curcumin (which you mention below.) On occasion, I will
mention a product that I am affiliated with, and this is clearly
presented in the text. That only happens in about one out of ten or
twelve posts.

My site reports on research Mark, not the ramblings of a pseudo-
scientific mind such as yours. As stated on the site, which discusses
both pharmaceuticals as well as alternative products (both into
either
the Sham or Wham category), the site does not offer medical advice,
but only research reports. Readers are urged to see their doctor.
Curcumin has no ill effects at all on its own - after all, its a
biochemical ingredient of curry, eaten for a thousand years. But
interactions with other herbs and medicines is another subject
entirely -- in fact, the topic of a future Sham vs. Wham, which
discusses the interaction of "food" with "pharmaceuticals" and how
the choice of the right foods with certain drugs can amplify and
improve the results, leading to less dosage needed, etc.

So, like so many of your posts, you've got the right idea, but you're
distorting and amplifying it by your own viewpoint.
