Frequently Asked Questions
& Frequently Made Comments
Q: I disagree that some of the products shown at the beginning are pseudoscientific.
A: The omega-3 fatty acids in fish oil are beneficial. I included it here because supplementation has not been shown to beneficial. It's fine to get it in your diet (eat fish) but most well performed trials have found limited or no benefit from supplementation.
Alli is an FDA approved diet drug, and I included it as a statement on all diet pills: Approved or not, pills have failed to prove that they are an effective long term weight loss strategy.
Folk wisdom and a few studies have found St. John's Wort to be an effective treatment for mild depression, however the preponderance of well performed trials have found no benefit. Don't simply accept what you've heard or long believed. Question those beliefs — if they're not well-sourced — and look at the research.
Q: What's wrong with a microwaved burrito?
A: Look again. It's the Virgin Mary in sour cream!
Q: You should have taken your sunglasses off in that one scene.
A: I wish I could do that scene over again so I could! I actually didn't realize I had them on, and didn't discover it until I got back to the car to check out the footage. By then I was out of light and had to move on to another scene.
Q: Foreign languages and subtitled versions?
A: Subtitle files are available on the download page. If you would like to help with additional languages, please use the contact form to be put in touch with the appropriate person.
Q: What the heck is a torrent and how do I use it?
A: If you have to ask, it's probably not the right option for you. Go to BitTorrent.com for any questions; it's their product not mine.
Q: Did you do all the work making this yourself?
A: Anything not explicitly credited to someone else in the credits was done by me (Brian Dunning). It's easy to find fault with the production, and I'm the first to agree with you — it was done for virtually no budget and by one guy who's by no means a movie professional — but I hope you will focus on its content and its message.
