Chef Pete Evans criticised for trying to sell $15,000 light device to fight coronavirus

Peak medical groups have criticised the Australian celebrity chef Pete Evans for suggesting that a $15,000 “subtle energy platform” could be used to treat coronavirus, saying such claims are baseless, ill-informed and dangerous.

Evans, a television host and paleo diet enthusiast who has previously promoted anti-vaccination ideas, was selling the BioCharger NG Subtle Energy Platform – dismissed by the Australian Medical Association as a “fancy light machine” – for $14,990 on his website.

“Four transmitted energies stimulate and invigorate the entire body to optimise and improve potential health, wellness, and athletic performance,” the ad says.

He said the machine had “a thousand different recipes and a couple on there for Wuhan coronavirus”.

1. Chef Evans sounds like quite the flake.

“Paleo enthusiast” and “anti-vaccination” ideas tells me all I need to know about Chef Evans.

(Note: No disrespect to any paleo enthusiasts here, but the paleo diet, imho, is flat out bad for you.)
