In a different forum I frequent ( <a href="http://www.ornery.org/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi">The Ornery American</a> ), a regular member there (LetterRip) has recently been making an extraordinary claim - a new theory of medicine he has devised that relates and can contribute in the cure of several neurological-related conditions.

I understand that the prior probabilities for him being a crank are much much higher than him being a new Louis Pasteur. Still I was wondering if there is anyone here with sufficient medical/medicinal knowledge that they can easily determine if there's something obviously ludicrous in LetterRip's theory, or even the opposite: if indeed there's something there that makes sense and is worth investigating.

Here are some of the relevant threads he began:

-<a href="http://www.ornery.org/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=6;t=014966">where he requests contacts</a>

-<a href="http://www.ornery.org/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=6;t=014997">where he publishes portion of his theory as a Kindle book</a>

-<a href="http://www.ornery.org/cgi-bin/ubbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=6;t=015009">where he announces more "breakthroughs" and insights and offers to cure or at least alleviate simple ailments</a>

Once again: I understand it's highly unlikely there's anything in his theory; still, I felt a cost-benefit analysis justified my making this post here.

So... anyone with enough understanding of biology/medicine to evaluate these claims of his?
