He was ace because he always did stuff on himself, and he was an excellent communicator
He caught my attention when he ingested a tapeworm embryo and let it live inside him for a few weeks to show what happens. Fucking bonkers
Back in 2018 I got diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. I was working away a lot, living in hotels, eating the wrong things at the wrong time and generally not looking after myself. The accepted opinion from within the NHS is that once you are confirmed to be be over a certain blood sugar level you are diabetic, that's for life and you need to control it with diet and exercise if you're lucky, and gradually you'll get to the stage where you need drugs like Metformin to control it. The dealer specialist Practice nurse offered me the drugs straight away and gave me a photocopy of some Sunday supplement pull out. She had never heard of the book, I thought that was strange as it was her job.
Having watched his program not that long before ( it was a repeat from a couple of years before) I refused the drugs, spent a tenner on the book, and followed his 8 week blood sugar diet. Went back 3 months later for a follow up and my bloods had gone back to normal level, and I've manged to keep it bay ever since.
