Boots, your remark "That is a very basic understanding of organic chemistry" deserved better than the lack of reaction from the room.
Also, I appreciate this episode a lot because weird pseudoscience and pseudomedicine just tickles me. I put together a doc a while back about another subject who had a lot of the same beliefs (for instance, "menopause isn't real", for one, although the guy I compiled also went so far as to say that periods weren't natural at all either). But I'm also sad because my doc is now obsolete and destined for the dump.
