Yeah sounds very similar. And weird coincidence, but the guy I’m talking about is also German. Lives in the US now, but his parents don’t speak English, he came here as a kid I believe.

My dad isn't German but he only became obsessed with alt health and nutrition once he moved to Germany... Coincidence? I think not - there must be something in the air here that turns people crazy

How weird. My sample size is now 2, I think I’m ready to draw a conclusion and only consider evidence that confirms it going forward.

That reminds me how my father loves to tell the story of a doctor who wasn't convinced that sun causes skin cancer so he went to India for a year and didn't wear sunscreen once and lo and behold he didn't get cancer so he disproved that sun causes cancer.

Again, my dad is a mathematician. Granted, analytical and computer algebra, not statistics, but dear Lord.
