A half century old exposé on medical quackery from the television show Confidential File hosted by Paul Coates. 
I&#8217;m putting this up to illustrate the point I&#8217;ve been banging on about in the comments thread under the clip of present day quack, Gary Null: that harmless things like homeopathy can kill people because they prevent [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[

Today is FEBL day, and our last example is this from Gary Null. Null communicates all manner of nonsense about health and has a huge axe to grind against doctors. His ideas are widely accused of being very dangerous. 
Null speaks in a a very soft, unnaturally calm voice, which scares me, and runs a [...]]]></description>

From the laughing instructor in the video &#8220;the laughter does not need to be sincere, it can be faked or simulated&#8221;.
In other words, laughter yoga is like a comedy for people with no sense of humor. Anne Coulter fans will be right at home.
[Update - someone kindly dug up an example of this preposterous crap [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve just finished Reading Ben Goldacre&#8217;s book, &#8216;Bad Science&#8217;, that lambasts various forms of quackery and pseudo science. Here is a New Scientist interview with him. I have also embedded a clip of Gillian McKeith a well know TV presenter in the UK, who encourages people to eat healthily, but does so in a way [...]]]></description>

The events of the last 6 months are more significant than 911 and will no doubt result in more suffering. They are partially a result of the ideas of the man whose choir performs the surreal song called &#8216;The Corporation&#8217;, in the first video. A more apt title might be American Requiem.

Rather than discussing the details of the film, which [...]]]></description>

Carl Dowse (where I lifted this from) says it better than I ever could:
&#8220;a film dating back to 1968 starring the feminist writer Germaine Greer in a rather embarassing parody of herself prior to the publication of her international best-seller, The Female Eunuch&#8221;

Watch the first clip for as long as you can stand it  &#8211; I lasted 3 minutes, then watch the one below it. Even better, hit play on them both at the same time.
Like much cultish nonsense, primal therapy makes a case that sounds consistent (mad, but consistent), and then assumes that this equals [...]]]></description>

One inch Punch is a very popular movie on YouTube with roughly the same viewership as an episode of CBS&#8217; 60 Minutes. Its a full movie that is short enough for people with ADD and gives hope to those who have been bullied by colossal, barbeque munching, Nascar fanatics for having the [...]]]></description>

This terrible movie is another great example of FEBL (Fucking entertaining Big Lie) media. For some reason, in recent years a bio-luddite movement has formed against one of the greatest, proven, scientific discoveries in medicine and biggest sources of the relief of global suffering, the process of vaccination. A growing cult has chosen to [...]]]></description>
