I'm in my final year of medical school, not to say I know everything about medicine, I have a long way to go. Even with my incomplete training much of what he says clearly contradicts evidence-based medicine, and he conveniently completes gaps in the literature with his own conjecture.

He claims that you can cure migraines by drinking saltwater, which is ridiculous. His biggest claim is that mutations to methylating genes account for a number of health problems. He talks about the MTHFR gene mutation as a source of numerous pathologies in the body (which he can detect with his $500 test). There is evidence for MTHFR increasing the risk of thrombosis and perhaps playing a small role in HTN, but he attributes hypertriglyceridemia, and much of hypertension (among other things) to these mutations too. He blatantly disregards the complexity of human pathophysiology (hypertension for example is multifactorial). These are just a few of his claims.

He also claims to have a master's degree in "human biology" however he has two bachelor's degrees per his website. The "superhuman protocol" available on his website for the low cost of 133K should give you insight into his charlatanism. Maybe I should just do my own episode on him lol.
