- Ok, if you say so. Now, what are they?
-
- I know what Dr. Moon's credentials are, I've met the man, seen him
- present his research findings to an university audience, and I've
- read two of his papers. Nothing I've seen substantiates that Professor
- Moon is a "crank". To successfully publish in medical journals like
- ATHEROSCLEROSIS, JOURNAL OF THE AMERCIAN COLLEGE OF NUTRITION, CANADIAN
- MEDICAL REVIEW, etc., is not something that a mere "crank" can likely
- achieve. It is one thing to debunk an article published in, say,
- a disreputable "pop" magazine like the EASTWEST JOURNAL OF HOLISTIC HEALTH,
- it is quite another to vilify an accomplished researcher and published
- expert on calciferol.
-
- Instead, we are asked to take Mr. Dyer's word for it that
- Professor Moon is a crank. Ok, then in that case I would like know what
- Mr. Dyer's credentials are. Does he have a PhD from accredited
- university? Has he any publications? Has even a graduate degree of
- any kind?
-
- Second, no rebuttal of my "interpretation" occurred since at that time
- no one had even read the study except for myself. Instead, all that
- I saw were the mere quibbles about terms and vilification of a
- an accomplished researcher and professor of toxicology/nutrition teaching
- at a major Canadian University. Hardly a very credible "refutation".
