I wrote a lot of stuff as a general response to the AMA, but it got deleted for not being a question. I guess here is a good a spot as any. Maybe someone is reading your comment and wondering what to believe.

You should be very suspicious of these claims.

This person says he is inherently skeptical and spent four years "studying the method more closely and examining scientific explanations for why it worked". He then says there is a ton of peer-reviewed science and provides a link. Given the years of study and the prevalence of evidence, you would expect multiple sources with compelling evidence. Or, at the least, one compelling source.

The link isn't a link to a "ton of peer-reviewed science". It links to one article.

Here's what the article claims:

Mammals have brown fat that burns energy and produces heat.

"In humans, brown adipose tissue is found primarily in infants and young children, and it has been considered to be essentially nonexistent and without physiologic relevance in adults."

They have a way to test fat for some fancy chemical. They think, but aren't sure, that if the fat reuptakes this chemical, it's brown fat.

They tested almost 2,000 people to see if they had fat reuptaking this chemical (which would mean it could be brown fat). 5 percent of the people tested had fat that reuptakes this chemical, which may or may not be brown fat. So, the vast majority of people did not have detectable levels of this kind of fat at all.

When they looked at the days that these people had the most "activity of the tissue" (this chemical being produced), they found that for most people, the particular day they had the most fat activity was a cold day.

It does NOT claim that a person can cultivate brown fat, or that brown fat can allow a person to withstand extreme temperatures. It says nothing about oxygen use, immune responses, or physical fitness

Can you explain this please? I'm not sure what this means. Like, you can't buy gorilla hands because you need a black market connection?

whilst using plants to walk around and encourage people...

I realize that "plants" refers to someone that has been planted there by the psychic.

At first though I was thinking of Scooby Doo style sneaking. Just a guy behind a palm tree asking people to open up.

In case anyone is having trouble understanding this...

Most forms of dwarfism (all?) basically cause problems by affecting the growth of bones/joints. So, the penis, which has no bones, is not affected by dwarfism. Therefore, this guy has a normal-sized dong, and on his frame it makes him look like Ron Jeremy.

How many joints? Between 1/3rd of a joint and three joints, depending on size. So... that's not too helpful.

If you've ever purchased it yourself, you probably bought an eighth, which is about 3.5 grams.

If you haven't.... Well, how many times a person could get high is hard to nail down. There are different types of weed, with "heads" (good stuff) being twice as expensive and as effective as "mids". Then, you have the tolerance of the person, and how high they want to get. If we're talking about a light user with a low tolerance buying heads, then they might be able to smoke 5-10 times off of that gram, whereas a pot head with a high tolerance might buy a gram of mids and smoke it all in one sitting.
