If you live healthy and have a rich fruit and veg diet which includes raisins almonds hazel nuts, you are giving your body enough boron for the body needs. In fact 100grams of raisins by themselves gives 4.5mg of boron.

Does not meet WP:BIO or WPROF criteria. Tagged for notability since March 2011. There appears to be little or no coverage in independent, reliable sources; the article is dominated by low-quality, self-published, and promotional sources. The only independent, reliably sourced coverage appears to be a brief rehash of talking points in a Psychology Today article, which seems to me to fail to meet our bar for non-trivial coverage in multiple independent sources. In keeping with our insistence on high-quality sources for biographical articles, I think this article should be deleted unless/until such sources are available.
I could not find sufficient independent quality reliable sources about the person or his views or evidence of sufficient impact on the field
Fails the general notability guideline for lack of hits at Google News Archive. Fails the WPROF guideline, no hits at Google Scholar. Apparently Narrowgauge, his SPA booster, is claiming that he is important in the field of orthomolecular medicine, but evidence of that is lacking, even at Google, where pretty much everything found is self-referential. He is an important figure in the field because he says he is? Sorry, doesn't work that way.
Let's be fair: "No hits at Google Scholar" is simply not true. Try again, using a Google Scholar search for "Saul AW" and using the quotes. There appear to be several dozen. Narrowgauge (talk) 23:20, 30 May 2011 (UTC)Narrowgauge (talk) 23:22, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
OK, let's try that. This yields, on the first page, three articles in the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine. They have been cited by others 5 times, 3 times, and 2 times, respectively. There is also one book, of which he is the second author, which received 8 citations, and another book by him alone, cited twice. What was that again, about making "a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field"? Apparently not even his own, narrow field regards him as much of a thought leader. --MelanieN (talk) 00:04, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

So just because this guy wrote a book makes him an expert in the field does it?
Sounds like one of those guys who tried to sell you snake oil for baldness. In other words he says dont trust your doctor coz he will tell you to spend your money on pharm drugs however trust me and i will sell you natural remedies instead. The internet is full of idiots like these
Reminds me of the thread about aids and house of numbers....
maybe i should write a book and then claim to be an authority on whatever subject i happen to write aboutedit on 16-1-2012 by minor007 because: (no reason given)

or are their minds too numbed by their doctor's tasty pills ?
what are your thoughts on this ?

You havent provided nothing to this thread other than crap and misinformation.
My pseudoscience Spider senses started tingling with a weaker version of the feeling I get when I read anti-science and pseudoscience blogs like Age of Autism--and with good reason too. One reason is right there on the front page in the form of 3,209 Medical, Scientific, and Environmental Professionals Sign Statement Calling for End to Fluoridation Worldwide
Oh no.
If there's one very strong indicator of a crank, it's the production of lists of scientists signing "statements" like the one above. For example, there's the famous list of over 600 scientists against anthropogenic global climate change being circulated by James Inhofe (R-OK), which has been thoroughly debunked, the Perth Group signatories who reject HIV as the cause of AIDS, and the Discovery Institute's list of scientists who dissent from Darwin or its list of physicians who reject "Darwinism." If there's one one major red flag indicating crankitude, it's compiling lists like this. True, it's not always a sign of crankitude, but when you examine the list and find out that most of the scientists actually don't have any expertise in the field in question it's a pretty good indication.
In the case of Connett's list, we have:
522 Nurses (RN, MSN, BSN, ARNP, APRN, LNC, RGON)
458 DC's (Doctor of Chiropractic, includes M Chiro)
411 PhD's - includes DSc (Doctor of Science); EdD (Doctor of Education); DrPH (Doctor of Public Health)
356 MD's (includes MBBS)
291 Dentists (DDS, DMD, BDS)
138 ND's (Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine)
77 Lawyers (JD, LLB, Avvocato)
