I can have fan pages, too
Posted on March 11, 2010 by Michael
If Andreas Moritz can have a fan page where he acts against the interests of healthy human bodies, then I can have one which is actually for the sake of goodness and good things.
And while you join the fan page for For the Sake of Science, don’t forget two things. First, join the anti-Andy group. Second, if Moritz is only going to allow sanitized comments on his fan page, be sure to at least make him work at it by leaving comments that let everyone know what a dangerous quack he is.

The incoherent ramblings of Andreas Moritz
Posted on March 10, 2010 by Michael
One positive that immediately came from Andy Moritz whining about my Facebook fan page of him is that I know he still reads this blog. I never directly sent him any of the information about the page, so unless he happened to go searching for himself within hours of me creating it, then he got his information here. That’s swell because now he can read this. (Hi, Andy!)
Moritz often says the most incoherent bullshit. The man is a moron with no grasp on anything. This holds especially true for the basics of biology.
When one or more amino acids become depleted, DNA or RNA molecules break apart, leaving behind their protein fragments labeled HIV.
This doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. It’s likes he found a few buzzwords in the glossary of a biology textbook and just randomly strung them together. Is he saying amino acids are proteins? Or does he mean DNA/RNA? Either way he’s as wrong as his syntax. And is he saying HIV is a protein? The quack is utterly incoherent.
But there’s more. This is from his shitty fan page.
Exercise to only half your capacity. Tiring yourself only defeats the very purpose. Exercise is supposed to make you feel refreshed, revitalized and energetic. As you proceed, your capacity for exercise will naturally increase.
Exactly. Exercise should be a walk in the park. It ought to be easy, untiring, and not even feel like exercise. That’s how all those people in infomercials get the way they are. They really just half-ass it and suddenly get buff as hell. Wait, what? Why doesn’t anyone believe me? Fine, don’t take my word for it. Andreas Moritz is the one with all the muscles (and not gaunt and weak or anything*).
One the most important discoveries ever made about man’s number one killer disease is rarely mentioned in reports on heart disease and its contributing risks, but this doesn’t make it less real. The greatest risk factors of developing heart disease are job satisfaction and the happiness rating.
Really? Where are your studies? Where is all the evidence? The moron doesn’t have any. This is just his ill-begotten opinion. He knows nothing.
If you want to help a sick person but do not know how, hold his/her hand in yours. This does more to help the person’s condition than any amount of sympathetic words could do.
This pretty much captures this guy. He doesn’t actually help anyone. And while he holds someone’s hand, he has his other hand in that person’s wallet. The condition of greed and deceit under which Moritz lives is greatly helped by this, far more so than any amount of sympathetic words could do.
*If you delete that picture, Andy, I have it saved and will upload it so we can all have yet another chuckle at your expense.

The question has been answered
Posted on March 9, 2010 by Michael
I earlier wondered how long until Andy Moritz got a Facebook group shutdown.
You created a Page that has violated our Terms of Use. A Facebook Page is a distinct presence used solely for business or promotional purposes. Among other things, Pages that are hateful, threatening, or obscene are not allowed. We also take down Pages that attack an individual or group, or that are set up by an unauthorized individual. If your Page was removed for any of the above reasons, it will not be reinstated. Continued misuse of Facebook’s features could result in the permanent loss of your account. If you have any questions or concerns, you can visit the Terms applicable to Facebook Pages at http://www.facebook.com/terms_pages.php.
Basically, Facebook’s policy is one of anti-criticism. Unless of course it’s not.
The real issue lies in the poorly defined difference between fan pages and groups. They try to claim the two are “distinct”, but they’ve clearly failed as this is an ongoing issue throughout the entire website. Maybe they’ve just been distracted by their failed privacy policies.
Anyway…who just can’t wait for the group page?

Andreas Moritz, Facebooker
Posted on March 9, 2010 by Michael
Immediately following the Andreas Moritz fiasco that got my blog temporarily pulled, it appears Moritz created a Facebook fan page for himself. I just couldn’t resist the opportunity. But more importantly, I couldn’t resist writing this.
Andreas Moritz is a dangerous quack who gives shitty advice that can literally result in death for any who follow it. He doesn’t know what the fuck he’s talking about. No, seriously. I mean always. He just has no clue how unbelievably wrong he is about everything. Look at this shit.
“When one or more amino acids become depleted, DNA or RNA molecules break apart, leaving behind their protein fragments labeled HIV.”
No, no, what the fuck? This quack doesn’t have a basic education in biology. Don’t listen to him for anything.
And where did I write this? Why, on my new Facebook page, Andreas Moritz is a cancer quack.
Be sure to join before Moritz has that shutdown, too.

Two things. First, my middle names are always awesome. Second, I can’t forget to link back to ol’ Andreas.
Update: Oh, no! Andy de-fanned me and blocked me from leaving more comments! This is almost as heartbreaking as when John Lott de-friended me on Facebook.

“Do you wish to file a complaint?”
Posted on March 3, 2010 by Michael
The title of this post is also the content of an email I received from someone in the Maine Department of Professional and Financial Regulation, Office of Licensing and Registration. To what was she responding, you ask?
A naturopathic doctor is not allowed to claim he is a doctor under Maine law. He must use the term “naturopathic doctor” or some similar phrasing. The intent behind this law is clearly to avoid confusing naturopaths with standard doctors.
That is why Christopher Maloney is so concerning. On his website, he expressly says he is a doctor under his “WHO AM I?” section.
Also, in a comment section on a blog post, he claims to practice medicine. This is also prohibited under Maine law.
http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2010/02/christopher_maloney_still_a_qu.php#comment-2285801
Of course, my answer to her question is a certain yes. Naturopaths like Christopher Maloney are legitimately dangerous by the very virtue of naturopathy.
If anyone else would like to file a complaint against Maloney, it can be done so by sending an email here.

I’m not sure what the subtitle says, but I think the rest of this image breaks the language barrier.
(I lied. The subtitle, through the limitations of Google translator, says something about there being a sucker born every minute. It also says “bastard” for some reason.)
Update: I got the clear translation (and astoundingly quickly).
Doctor Quack
Andreas Moritz
blablablabla
There’s a sucker born every minute
And a crook every hour to take care of 60 suckers

Thank You
Posted on February 22, 2010 by Michael
For the Sake of Science is back up and running. It only took a half dozen emails from me, directly contacting the big honcho, and the Internet going nutso, but I’m back in business.
May the Streisand Effect be with you all.

The lies of Maloney
Posted on February 22, 2010 by Michael
Christopher Maloney has been going around the Internet trying to defend himself, often at hostile sites (i.e., places where science is discussed and woo is not tolerated). He is generally getting thrashed wherever his ugly little head of woo pops up. While that’s been entertaining, there are still places where he isn’t always challenged, often due to low traffic or people just being tired of his antics. One of the points I’ve only seen challenged once (and I forget where) is this one:
Please check the PZ Myer website for complete information. For those who haven’t caught up, PZ Myers has already rescinded his previous posting about me.
Of course, this isn’t really true, and what part of it is true isn’t true in the way Maloney wants people to think. Specifically, he’s referring to this post. PZ points out Maloney’s claim that he never contacted WordPress directly. That’s probably true. But what isn’t true is that Maloney is innocent in the whole affair. As PZ says,
Note the comment from Mark at WordPress, “We were sent”. Someone targeted Hawkins, and sent a demand to WordPress to shut him down. This is someone in communication with Maloney, because Maloney just sent me this email:
The email in question can be seen at the above link. It shows that Maloney was in contact with Andreas Moritz and knew what was going on. His responsibility is not lifted simply because he doesn’t show the same quacking initiative as Moritz to actually send an email.
But more important here is the fact that Maloney is going around saying PZ simply rescinded his post. In this instance he said it in response to a YouTube video of him quacking. (Did Moritz send YouTube a letter threatening a lawsuit for him?) It’s obvious he wants people to think PZ does not believe him to be a quack or that PZ’s opinion of him is somehow not horribly negative; he wants to give the impression that he made an intelligent person run off, tail between his legs. Of course, that isn’t the case. Everyone, especially PZ, knows Maloney is still a quack. What’s more, everyone is able to see that Maloney has always been involved. His hands are not clean, he is a quack, and best of all, he has made things far worse for himself because any Internet search of his name will inevitably turn up results for his quackery.
