A Counter to the American Academy of Pediatrics Hit Piece on Genetically Modified Organisms

0 Comments

In today’s world, due to the lopsided impact of the bullshit asymmetry principle, the internet is overflowing with misinformation. However, amidst this deluge of falsehoods, there are organisations that steadfastly promote scientific facts rather than succumbing to the influence of interest groups or fashion. These organisations and the individuals within them are beacons of rationality ...

The Doctor who Deliberately Spreads Disinformation and Denies Reality

0 Comments

They say a man is known by the company he keeps, so a man who associates with conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, piss swiller Brian Rose, and “Son of the Godhead” David Ike, is of poor character. Psychiatrist turned virus denier Dr Andrew Kaufman regularly takes to YouTube where he promotes questionable detox protocols and spouts disinformation. To be blunt, the man is a liar who uses his ...

In 2020,a co-founder of the cult Genius II Church of Health and Healing found themselves in a challenging situation when they were contacted by the American government, who demanded they cease the sale of their unproven toxic tonic.

Acupuncture Is Useless

2 Comments

Acupuncture, considered superstitious and irrational as far back as the seventeenth century, gained popularity in the west when it was reintroduced by the Chinese Communist government in 1949. This reinstatement of the once outlawed practice was possibly driven by nationalistic motives or the need to provide basic healthcare to a large population. Since its adoption acupuncture has been ...

The World Health Organisation Has Lost the Plot

4 Comments

In an era where misinformation and pseudoscience are prevalent, it is concerning that the World Health Organization (WHO) now lends credibility to alternative medicine through initiatives like the Traditional Medicine Global Summit. The WHO plays a crucial role in promoting global health and should uphold rigorous scientific standards to ensure public trust and safety. By organising a summit ...

Why You Don’t Need to Worry About Aspartame

2 Comments

The recent aspartame panic bears similarities to the glyphosate hysteria of 2015, in terms of media-driven misinformation, fear, and the potential influence of special interest groups. Both cases involve the spread of inaccurate information, which has led to unwarranted public concern and distrust. And both these examples highlight the importance of critical thinking and examining multiple ...

Animal Abuse on Facebook

Recently I was contacted by a veterinary technician who, after watching my video on “natural pet health advocate” Dr. Andrew Jones, reached out to let me know there is someone worse. His name is Jeff Hargett and he is the admin of a private Facebook group named ‘Holistic Help for Pets’. Infiltrating and documenting the group activities has been a deeply distressing and emotional ...

TikTok Quacks: Trust Me, I’m an Unlicensed Veterinarian

5 Comments

“Alternative medicine” is a pernicious misnomer whose advocates purposely deceive the vulnerable into believing that their “treatments” are natural and more effective, or safer, than conventional ones. The fact that we live in a world where virtually the entirety of mankind’s knowledge can be accessed by a device we carry in a pocket, yet the use of alternative medicine is on the ...

0 Comments

The new three-part Netflix docuseries ‘MH370: The Plane that Disappeared’ was sold as a “first-class documentary” focusing primarily on the struggles of the next of kin of those on board the missing aircraft. Experts and family members hesitant about featuring in the documentary were assured by the production company, RAW TV, that they would stick to the facts and not dwell on baseless ...

Debunking ‘MH370: The Plane that Disappeared’ – The Worst Documentary on Netflix – #1

2 Comments

The new three-part Netflix docuseries ‘MH370: The Plane that Disappeared’ is a podium for baseless conspiracy theories from people who are more interested in fame and notoriety than an actual explanation for the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. This ethically dubious documentary, which offers cheap thrills at the cost of the dignity of those who perished, focuses on the ...

TikTok Quacks: It’s your fault you’re sick

0 Comments

Quackery, the promotion of fraudulent or ignorant medical practices, is everywhere – on daytime television, on nearly every organic food label, and, most of all, here online. Due to the lack of any real legal consequences, quackery has become rampant and is showing no sign of slowing down, with every corner of the internet now infected with self proclaimed experts who believe they are in ...

A Review of The Chemistry of Auschwitz

8 Comments

When I started my foray into Holocaust Denial 5-years ago, I began by stating that no event of any significance in the world takes place without generating a flutter of conspiracy speculations. As unpleasant and potentially dangerous a belief in one or more of these conspiracies can be, they do, for the most part, come from a natural human desire to find an explanation for what appears to be ...

Con Man Fred Leuchter Did Not Write the Leuchter Report

2 Comments

I have previously asked, in regards to American execution equipment manufacturer Fred Leuchter, at what point does someone become a con man? Was it when Leuchter deliberately misrepresented himself as a professional engineer, when he sold faulty execution equipment which would cause a nightmarish death, or was it when he convinced holocaust deniers that he was an expert on gas execution? As ...

The Purge of Science and Reason

Organic farming was not the singular cause for the crisis which Sri Lanka is currently facing, but the sudden agro-chemical ban poured more fuel on the fire and demonstrated just how critical high-yielding crops are in economies still based largely on agriculture. This is the dark side of organic farming. The crisis which had been brewing for years due to political corruption, nepotism, and ...
