		<description>&quot;Please tell me that she didnâ€™t really work with Pauling.&quot;

Pauling did have a habit of associating with lunatics. For example, he once nominated Helen Caldicott for the Nobel Peace Prize. (As a former Peace Prize laureate himself, this was a legitimate nomination.) Caldicott, if you&#039;re unaware, is a paranoiac of the first order, a woman whose intellect (but not sanity) rivals that of Gillian McKeith. 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helen_Caldicott

&quot;Caldicott claimed that the Hershey Foods Corporation produced chocolate carrying strontium 90 because of the proximity of the Three Mile Island disaster to Hershey&#039;s Philadelphia factory. According to Caldicott strontium 90 that fell on the Pennsylvania grass found its way into the milk of the local dairy cows.&quot;

&quot;Citing the research of Soviet scientists Valery Burdakov and Vyacheslav Fiin, Caldicott argued that NASAâ€™s Space Shuttle program was destroying the Earthâ€™s ozone and that 300 total shuttle flights would be enough to &#039;completely destroy the Earth&#039;s protective ozone shield&#039;.&quot;</description>

		<description>Please tell me that she didn&#039;t really work with Pauling. I know he was a bit loony when it came to Vit C but not so much that he&#039;d ever have contact with McTeeth surely?</description>

		<description>A number of people have contacted me to suggest I was misrepresenting the contents of the CV. I have no interest in correcting them one by one, so to prevent any confusion, here is Gillian McKeith&#039;s original CV as it appeared on her management site in 2004.

Dr Gillian McKeith is a world-renowned nutritionist with her own range of products, who, from June 2004 is presenting a new prime-time series on  Channel 4 called  â€œYou Are What You Eatâ€. 

The show literally gets to the bottom of some of the countryâ€™s worst eaters as Dr McKeith revamps their eating habits, changes their lives and does for them what â€œHow Clean Is Your Houseâ€ did for homes!

It will be accompanied by a Penguin book, already tipped to be a best-seller, which will offer non-nonsense nutritional advice by the eccentric but brilliant doctor.
IPrior to this, Dr McKeith presented a TV strand series â€œDr Gillian McKeithâ€™s Feel Fab Foreverâ€ on Granada TV. She went on to present a strand called â€œHollywood Healthâ€ on ITVâ€™s â€œThis Morningâ€. She was then the Healthy Living Expert for two years on BBC1â€™s â€œGood Morningâ€. 
She is also widely acclaimed in the United States and she was the Celebrity Health Reporter for the network â€œJoan Rivers Showâ€ for more than two years as well as being host and Executive Producer of â€œHealthline Across Americaâ€, a nationally syndicated radio show, which aired for five years. On that programme, Gillian interviewed celebrities about their health and lifestyles. 

Dr McKeith is a best-selling author. As well as her forthcoming book â€œYou Are What You Eatâ€, she has also written â€œThe Miracle Superfood: Wild Blue-Green Algaeâ€ and â€œDr Gillian McKeithâ€™s Living Food for Healthâ€. She is a regular columnist for the magazine â€œSlimmer, Healthier, Fitterâ€.

Dr McKeith is a practising Clinical Nutritionist and Director of the McKeith Clinic in London where she conducts key clinical research, publishes findings, and consults with patients at her busy practice. Born and raised in the Highlands of Scotland, Dr McKeith spent more than 15 years in the USA.
