Ryan,
somehow you missed the point that I've been belaboring. This Niednagel 
character is not a doctor of any kind. He's a scientist like I'm an 
astronaut. He has no scientific training whatsoever and has no ability to 
conduct scientific research even he were willing to do so, which he's 
not.  He's a con man, pure and simple.
Atkins, on the other hand, was an MD, and as such at the very least knew 
something about human physiology, biochemistry and anatomy. Comparing 
Atkins to Niednagel is like comparing a gifted high-school math teacher to 
a junior delinquent who hasn't learned the multiplication table yet, but is 
very good at conning gullible kids out of their lunch money by selling them 
"solutions" to calculus homework problems.

PS How about those Pistons getting their choice of Darko or 'Melo? Yet 
another EC contender has improved dramatically. Can we pry Ilgauskas from 
Cleveland now that they've got their 'Bron?
Which choice doesn't belong with the others here:
A. Darius Miles
B. Lebron James
C Zydrunas Ilgauskas
D. Ricky Davis
E. Dajuan Wagner
