... Or you may regrow missing limbs just like a damn salamander (or like was alleged to happen in the Miracle of CalandaWP)!

Yup, this woman thinks explosive diarrhea (the "waterfalls") from drinking improperly fermented cabbage and overdosing on salt is a Good Thing(TM)! Yup, she thinks it will cure everything. Yup, she thinks all will benefit (except for organ transplant recipients). Yup, her justification on her thinking that this will allow you to regrow missing limbs is basically "why not?". Yup, her justification on her thinking as to why this will cure cancer is,... actually, I don't have a *********** clue!
Apparently she has charged $70/hour for phone consultations and now she operates on a subscription based model.
I think Oprah and her TV spawnlings are a plague on all of us. However, while I'm ambivalent about the exposure it's giving her (on the other hand, that particular horse might already be out of the barn as it seems like Facebook has produced enough exposure on its own), Dr. Phil below looks to be very critical of this Jillian person and Phil McGrath definitely calls her on her BS. I also have to say that another time I was concerned about the coverage he'd give a certain story (I'm not a Dr. Phil viewer so I don't know what his stories are generally like) he ended up doing the right thing (it's a rather tragic story mentioned on these forums ).
Most (maybe all?) of the Dr. Phil Jilly juice stuff seems to be available in the various embedded videos on the pages linked below.

“I'm proud of being a leader of a poop cult,” Jillian Mai Thi Epperly once joked to fans of her signature recipe: a fermented slurry of salted cabbage that produces “waterfalls” of diarrhea. Here's the wild story of how she convinced thousands to believe her dangerous science, and how a grassroots movement shut her down when Facebook wouldn't. |
