An alternative healer who advocated “slapping therapy” to treat a range of maladies has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for the death of a 71-year-old diabetic woman who stopped taking insulin during his workshop
Agreed, it’s one thing to believe nonsense, but it’s entirely different when you start taking advantage of sick and desperate people. And that’s without even addressing the fact that this isn’t even the first time this dude has caused the death of a diabetic person. The other one was a 6-year-old boy.
Good. There’s a word for “alternative medicine” that works.
The word is “medicine.”
Everything else is a fraud at best and deadly, like this, at worst.
Off-topic but I had a feeling you’d be the first commenter, lol. I remember running into you all the time in r/skeptic.
Hah. Yeah, this shit seriously pisses me off.
