Regarding citations: I updated both the Sandy Shaw and Durk Pearson entries using a CV which they provided to me. I'm a partner in a Company which does business with them. Please let me know how I could improve the entries Jwclement 04:10, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Who is Sandy Shaw?

And what does she do? The intro par really should define something about this person. Alpheus (talk) 08:36, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

no ax to grind

I really have no ax to grind here, but after noting the similarity between the two entries, one thing you could do is call the registrar's office at MIT and at UCLA to verify the educational credentials. Durk's are really hard to believe. Also you could cite some publications dealing with Durk's involvement with the space program. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.49.77.67 (talk) 20:45, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

proof of the pudding

I was a fan of the couple and their book when it came out. Now they are in their later sixties and we should be seeing the results and efficacy of their approach. But looking on the web I see no recent pics and the article indicates no recent personal appearances similar to their prior mass media exposure. An update, info on this is in order. 72.228.177.92 (talk) 15:39, 5 August 2010 (UTC) Look harder. They were active through sometime in 2017 and photos exist from that period. They've totally dropped out of sight since though. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.96.210.230 (talk) 03:48, 24 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sandy might well have passed

ChatGPT told me this evening that Sandy Shaw has passed on. When I enquired as to the source, it said "There are several other sources that confirm Sandy Shaw's passing. Some of these sources include:

The New York Times obituary published on December 7, 2020

The Washington Post obituary published on December 3, 2020

The Los Angeles Times obituary published on December 8, 2020

The Legacy.com obituary published on November 30, 2020

All of these sources confirm that Sandy Shaw passed away on November 24, 2020, at the age of 72."

I have, as yet, been unable to validate any of these.

Well, this just gets weird. I pressed ChatGPT for an obit for Sandy and it came back with an obit for a "Sandie" Shaw who, yes, wrote Life Extension and who was also an "accomplished pianist". So I pressed Chat GPT further, citing these two probably errors, and it said:

"I apologize for any confusion or misinformation that I may have provided earlier. After conducting further research, I was unable to find the obituary for Sandy Shaw on the Las Vegas Review-Journal website."

According to this article, she died in 2021: https://anh-usa.org/remembering-durk-pearson-natural-medicine-pioneer-and-liberator/ Yolfer (talk) 23:42, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Shakocius" was not Sandy Shaw's birth name; it was the last name of her first husband, David. I knew her and Durk Pearson personally at UCLA. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RataAlmizclera (talk • contribs) 21:42, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
