So you, too, believe that humans are the only race on planet earth that has no race-wide ideal diet? No, I can't believe that we are that special. But maybe it does not make a lot of sense to discuss this one.
Perhaps we can agree that there is a single ideal diet for all healthy humans, and that a whole lot of humans are not healthy.

That explains a lot regarding your reaction, of course. I don't know why your results were disastrous or what they are like exactly, but I'm glad that you recovered and found a way you are able to live a good life with.
As for Steve's influence: His site is still called "Personal Development for Smart People", isn't it? So I think we can safely assume that his readership is able to distinguish between a detoxing body and a dying one. And if someone blindly follows Steve's advice to death, that surely qualifies for a
darwin award, IMHO.
I know I do sound insensitive, but sorry, we are all conscious beings and responsible for what we do. And while I feel sorry for everyone who is suffering in any way, I know that no one but themselves is responsible for their suffering.
