  • Fascinating without sensationalizing

    This was excellent storytelling and investigation into one of the many people who take advantage of people with serious illnesses. I have a young family member who refused traditional treatment until her stage 0 breast cancer spread to stage 3C, at the precipice of metastasis. Instead, for 3 years she went to a ‘psychic intuitive healer’ at the strong encouragement of her conspiritual (great term!) father. The woman is named Beatriz Gonzalez, by the way, in case anyone wants to investigate her �... more

  • Host gives dangerous pseudoscience of her own

    While in the process of trying to debunk Young (which is easy, he’s a con artist) the host gives out dangerous health misinformation of her own. For example, at one point, just because Young says that “chicken can cause colon cancer” the host says “actually, there’s no evidence that chicken causes colon cancer” but there are literally hundreds (maybe even thousands) of peer-reviewed and replicated scientific studies implicating chicken consumption in *specifically* colon cancer. This is a great ... more
