je weet maar nooit wat voor gevaarlijke dingen je nu al onder de leden hebt...

en goede tips etc die je het leven kunnen redden...

A particularly egregious example of this is the sidebar on page 142, identifying "unnecessary supplements" as "the world's most expensive pee." It then lists a number of common supplements, with serious ailments that supposedly can occur as a result of ingesting each. For example, under Vitamin E we have "Vitamin E has been linked to heart failure and can increase the risk of bleeding, including hemorrhagic stroke."

Did you know that hiccups may be a sign that you have the EBOLA VIRUS? (no known cure, 90% fatality rate) Salivating a lot? You might have RABIES. Toes discolored? GANGRENE. Dropping things? Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease. (don't ask)

No matter what ails you, there's a possibility that you have something really, really, REALLY serious. Well, it's about time you take the guesswork out of self-diagnosis.
