Dr. Robert Morse

What are your opinions about Dr. Robert Morse ND and his views about obtaining an optimum health through a fruitarian diet combined with herbs? If you don't know who Dr. Morse is, I suggest you do a search. He has made hundreds of videos on YouTube and has a clinic in America and a website.

I've seen this linked in other vegan forums.
I think he's an absolute shill, and never want to see him associated with the term vegan

Why do you think so?

No research to support claims, and everything he does is linked to buying his products.
I listen to supported facts from people like Dr. Greger. You can learn from not for profit website, nutritionfacts.org

There is plenty of research mentioned in his book, which it has predominantly positive reviews on Amazon.

The part about everything being related to buying his products is simply not true. If you watch his videos, you can hear him say many a times that people should not venture to spend all their finances on his products, but rather start off slow on a fruitarian diet, and use his products only if they have major health issues and are in need of immediate detoxification. He also mentioned all the ingredients in his products and told people that they could try other similar products on the market instead of his.

Most NDs are total shills. Here's a really good essay written by a former ND about the 'practice' (business) of naturopathic doctors: The shocking confessions of a naturopathic doctor

I agree with @silva. There are a handful of legitimate medical doctors who promote healthy, BALANCED vegan diets.

Thanks, that article was very enlightening, and frightening. I've seen too many people with serious health problems who instead of doing what has been proven to help, see a ND who tells them it's all due to a food allergy or that they need to detox, and end up worse off.

Let's face it, mainstream medicine also has its issues with the pushing of products. Add to this that medical doctors often have a limited understanding of the role of diet in causing and preventing disease, are not always good listeners (sometimes because they only have a limited amount of time per patient), and will try to treat symptoms rather than spending time to find the underlying issues.

So in that sense I can understand the desire to look elsewhere for solutions.
