I'm an anonymous historian who runs this site. After developing a wasting disorder which baffled my doctors, I decided that I had better learn about medicine, biology, biochemistry, etc., in order to cure myself. Because I had made the scientific method one of the cornerstones of many of the classes I taught, I was amazed at how easily so many scientists simply ignore the scientific method, even when validation/refutation experiments would be easy and cheap to do.

I can't speak to the first part of your post, but I do find the obvious question, why does gravity exist, to be interesting. If you want to speak about that, I'd be interested in it. As to the biochemistry/medicine, I'm more interested in the maintenance of health and the prevention of disease, rather than how to deal with the aftermath of "diseases" that should have been prevented in the first place. If I had to "sum up," I'd say that most diseases are now due to "inflammation," which is another way of saying arachidonic acid overload. Lipid peroxidation is part of this problem, and in general the best thing to do is to avoid highly unsaturated fat sources as well as dietary oxidized cholesterol. I suggest you take time to read the essays on this site, and any posts in the two newsgroups that interest you. Then you will understand my position in detail. Of course, if you are interested in discussing something else, feel free to do so, but remember that the point of this site is to explore scientific ideas that are contrary to the current dogma, or are not well known (and hence are not found in most, if any relevant textbooks).
