Pill Pushing Fake COG Prophet Wants You To Buy His Zinc Pills

Screenshot of fake COG prophet Bob Thiel's blog entry 
with his own brand of pills that he peddles 
from his back storeroom in Arroyo Grande, CA.

After President Trump opened his mouth and tweeted to the world that he was taking hydroxychloroquine and zinc to ward off possibly catching COVID-19, the fake Ph.D.'d and self-appointed leader of the improperly named "continuing" Church of God felt it was a good opportunity to share his wealth of "knowledge" about the zinc pills that he peddles when he is not making outlandish prophetic predictions.
It is not that I am advocating chloroquine, but I do believe that science supports taking zinc, and for some substances that can enhance its absorption. In my own case, I take food zinc along with a food grade methylene blue product to enhance cellular absorption. This does not mean that I cannot get COVID-19, but I most certainly am not afraid of it. I also take food vitamin C, food selenium, food vitamin D, other 100% food nutrients, and nattokinase as part of my regular routine.
Governments around the world, including the USA, have been loath to tell the public that they can do more than hide and wash to help themselves with COVID-19–that is a disgrace that should shame most public health officials (there are a few that have had the integrity to tell some scientific facts about nutrients that can help, like zinc, vitamin C, vitamin D, etc.). 
A reader here noted:

"I read this morning that Dr. Thiel takes a zinc supplement among other dietary supplements.  I want to emphasize that I am trying not to be judgmental (there are all those rather inconvenient words by Someone about being so), it’s more that I’m confused. Is he suggesting either (a) God has not included sufficient amounts of zinc, etc in the foods God has given us; or (b) that it’s ok to take supplements if one’s faith in God’s Preserving Love isn’t as strong as it should be. This seems to be a very slippery slope.   The thought has also occurred to me that if President Obama had announced that he was taking zinc, would that have been ok, or would it have been a sign that he was the antichrist?"

You can read his screed here: Donald Trump taking zinc and hydroxychloroquine to prevent COVID-19: Mainstream media aghast! Vitamin D? Vitamin C?

You will quickly note that Profit Bob talks more about his greatness and his superior knowledge than anything else.

  1. Does Bob believe what Mark 16:18 says about God's prophets?

    "...if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them."

    If Bob will host a live YouTube stream during which he drinks a gallon of Drano, he'll gain instant credibility as a prophet blessed by God.

    Remember, Bob, we need to watch you break the bottle's seal on the live broadcast, so we can be sure you haven't replaced the Drano with harmless water. Do this, and millions who haven't yet paid attention to you will start taking notice.

    I don't think Bob really believes in God, though. He's just a tiny little insecure man who is desperate for attention.

  2. His lack of critical thinking skills shows in his religious beliefs and health care advice. Correlation is not the same as causation. Anecdotal evidence is not the same as scientific evidence. Supplements are not regulated. What is in the bottle is not always what's on the label. All of this crap can have a placebo effect. For all of his "education" this guy is still a fool. If we can't trust what he says about medicine, how can we trust him with spiritual ideas?

  3. Sorry Booby, but I would rather take the "RED PILL" than listen to any ideas that you have!

    (The red pill and blue pill represent a choice between taking either a "red pill" that reveals an unpleasant truth, or taking a "blue pill" to remain in blissful ignorance. The terms are directly derived from a scene in the 1999 film The Matrix.)

  4. I noticed the Bob doesn't allow a rear view of the vitamin bottle so that you can read what's in it.

  6. Bob is onto something, though he's not the first. A World Without Zinc

  7. In my WCG days there were some undefined areas about health, diet, medicine, etc, and their related niche groups in various congregations.
    After an FOT sermon on Healing, I remember a few guys discussing what vitamins and supplements they use. To me, this seemed heretical - it was okay to use vitamins? Wow!

  8. Vitamins A, C, and D can in fact boost the immune system and fight flus like covid19.

    Ask Dr. Ayyadruai.

  9. Thiel does not make the product, it is just a private label brand, that will put anybodies label on their house product. Thiel's product is manufactured by Enzyme Process Co. in Chandler Arizona, with Thiels label slapped on.

    Here is how "doctor" Thel presents himself on his vitamin website...

    Author of four books and a renowned researcher and lecturer, Dr. Thiel received the Leadership Award from the Orthomolecular Health Medicine Society and was named Research Scientist of the Year, Physician of the Year, and Disability Researcher of the Year by the ANMA, America’s largest naturopathic medical association.


    The Orthomolecular Health Medicine Society does not appear to exist anymore, and an active web page was not found by me, after 30 minutes of searching. Like Thiel's ordination to Prophet, his credentials appear to be either self promoted or diploma milled.

  10. When you look at the OHMS sites and Facebook page it is filled with a lot of crackpot ideas and plainly weird people. It is just another front for Bob to claim he is a legitimate "scientist". Totally fake and not supported by sound medical evidence. Just like his theology, not supported by sound theological education. Likehis fake gradaute degeree from Fuller and all he did was take a couple classes. Whoppie

    "Orthomolecular medicine[1][2] is a form of alternative medicine that aims to maintain human health through nutritional supplementation. The concept builds on the idea of an optimal nutritional environment in the body and suggests that diseases reflect deficiencies in this environment. Treatment for disease, according to this view, involves attempts to correct "imbalances or deficiencies based on individual biochemistry" by use of substances such as vitamins, minerals, amino acids, trace elements and fatty acids.[3][4][5] The notions behind orthomolecular medicine are not supported by sound medical evidence, and the therapy is not effective;[6][7] even the validity of calling the orthomolecular approach a form of medicine has been questioned since the 1970s.[8]"

  11. I remember the old WCG days when people would be involved in multi level marketing plans like Shaklee or Amway hoping to take in big bucks Few if any did and I doubt mister Almost Arrested will have much more luck with this venture

  12. So above, Anon 1:50 gives us a link to what's in one of Bob's products. (Most likely Bob himself. Thank's Bob) Very good that it is based on food products but his prices are outrageous. I noticed reading the label that his products are made by a outfit called Enzyme Process International. So I find their website and look around. I like what I see as being familiar with nutritional products and processes.

    Here is a link on how to get your products bottled and ready to sell.

    Anyone ready to buy a bottle of PAINFUL TRUTH vitamins yet?
