[cancercured] Re: Applied Kineseology -- real or bogus?

So how would I test myself on some substance? Many of the vitamins I
take taste so horrible that I'm sure tasting them (instead of
swallowing them whole) might bring up nasty reactions.

Could you be more specific on why quackbusters sucks? I'd prefer to
disbelieve a lot of their stuff... if you gave me some basis for
disbelief it might help.
