My first post for SWIFT dealt with the apparent deathbed confessions of Boyd Bushman in which the alleged senior scientist for Lockheed Martin made vast claims about flying saucers, aliens, and other related topics. That post focused on why I find deathbed confessions, in general, to be unconvincing.

The Bushman story got a lot of press in the weeks that followed. It was trumpeted on many websites and blogs as well as radio shows. One of them was an interview of David Sereda, conducted by George Noory on November 2, 2014, on the late-night paranormal radio program Coast to Coast AM (C2C).

Tired? Aching? Skin losing its lustre? Diarrhoea? Constipation? Bloating? Cramps? Congratulations, I just diagnosed you as wheat intolerant.

Oh don’t be fooled: there are plenty of expensive tests you could use to check it for yourself - iridology, applied kinesiology  and the like - but I am completely sure because, you see, I read this book, and all the symptoms you thought were due to candida overgrowth, adrenal fatigue, Morgellons  or chronic Lyme , all turn out to be due to gluten.

No, not really.
