That is... Not at all.

Snake oil sucks. Quackery is ubiquitous. Wiki Hulda Clark for an example. They prey on the weakest, the most vulnerable. I hate them like the heat of a thousand suns.

Don't get me started about Jenny "I can eat boogers on MTV" McCarthy and her galactically ignorant anti-vaccine lunacy.

Don't get me started about SCAM (supplementary complementary alternative medicine). There is no alternative medicine. There is only medicine.

Check out the Science Based Medicine Blog for details.

Or the Skeptics Guide to the Universe the best skeptical podcast in the universe.
