PRESCRIPTION FOR DISASTER - Gary Null Wikipedia


Null is the owner of the dietary supplement and media company Gary Null & Associates, Inc.[10] He owns a health food store, Gary Null's Uptown Whole Foods Market,[11] in New York City.




In 2010, Null filed suit against Triarco Industries, a company that manufactured a product called Gary Null's Ultimate Power Meal. Null's suit contends that flawed testing and manufacturing practices led to the inclusion of 1,000 times the daily recommended amount of vitamin D, and that as a result he suffered kidney damage and intense pain.[12][13][14]



[edit] Criticisms

Many of Null's viewpoints are controversial and he has attracted the attention of Stephen Barrett of the alternative medicine watchdog website, Quackwatch. Barrett criticizes the validity of Null's PhD thesis, his alternative health claims, and several of his commercial products.[15]



The James Randi Educational Foundation, an organization that aims to promote critical thinking, has accused him, together with Wayne Dyer, of "dealing in nonsense", promoting the notion of eternal youth, and prescribing magnets and "other medieval tools" to prevent aging.[16]



In 2009, Null was criticized for his remarks as a keynote speaker at a political rally against mandatory H1N1 influenza vaccination at the New York State Capitol in Albany, New York.[17] New York State Health Commissioner Richard Daines said, "Like any number of things he’s wrong about, he’s wrong about that."[17]
