Material is condescendingly didactic, thus far
though I have only scanned it. Have to see what DATA/links may be embedded, etc.
Generally though it is in the Skeptical Camp-untrusting of Big-Pharma's demonstrated selective-data-taking/suppression of Most-all [-]s
And implicitly: upon the passive (?) lazy-minded , oft ego-driven attitudes inculcated within those who have been trained-up by the AMA.
In those regards, though: "Dr. Brownstein's" approach correlates with the caveats expressed here, and my POV re US corporate medicine:
[Cumulative rant-du-jour]
We *are* on. our. own. to cut through the oceans of simple-minded lore du jour, whether re simplistic notions of Yes/No kind or fuzziness re most topics related to National Ignorant Nutrition--at base.
Whether re cholesterol, prostate, antediluvian circumcision! or [. . .]
The only near-Certaintiy from my experience which Big-$$-Med ever revealed to this simple-mind, is:
Caveat Emptor; the sharpest minds do not seem to go into Medicine here; generally; their filter is too-much aligned with being able to memorize/not Think incisively.
(And I have 'worked' with those allegedly doing 'research'--observed their sometimes obtuse comprehension--even of their own 'experiments'.)
If you can say, sodium ethylmercurithiosalicylate without stuttering--and recall a number of similar names, you're a good candidate to make it through Med-School-USA: The Corporation.
It IS a PITA that the 'oracles' do have such Feet of Mush; but..There We Are. IMho.
Luck in your personal-weightings as you rummage amidst ... the TMI/oft dubious: of anything (re actual Health! attainment in America) amidst a morass of
"treating Lucrative-'diseases'/oft with invented-scary-Names"/inspiring little confidence of veracity.
(Should I face one of these Popular Dis-eases in any next, after confirming that whatever I am told can pass the Actuality-Test, my instinct shall be to tag the best Sane Country
--with thus non-Ludicrous costs: and fly there.)
OURS is a Broken, Usurious, Corporately-Cynical Success--in turning the universal desire for a Healthy Life into a 99% Profit-driven Facsimile of the phrase, Health Care.
Think: the thousand-$$ [We can't Patent It but you Need it] ASPIRIN.

er, quod erat demonstrandum?
LUCK ... to every single One of us-in-US. Until we take-back THIS 'topic' along with 102 others.. still just a a'festerin 'n a'rottin within the body-politic of this noisily-dying, personal-$$-obsessed oligarchy.
Law above fear, justice above law, mercy above justice, love above all.
