Episode 109
Target twins, then myth-busting. In this Funny Medicine episode, we unpack pseudoscience in health: what it is, how to spot it, and why it can hurt. From homeopathy and detox cleanses to medical astrology, Reiki, and viral TikTok hacks, we keep it clear, evidence-based, and useful for real life.
What you’ll hear:
• What makes something pseudoscience vs real science
• Why “like cures like” and ultra-dilutions in homeopathy don’t hold up
• Detox claims vs what your liver and kidneys already do 24/7
• Astrology in healthcare and why controlled tests find chance-level results
• Energy healing and the placebo effect
• Viral health hacks, influencer claims, and the risk of fake cancer cures
• How pseudoscience delays care, wastes money, and fuels outbreaks
• A simple checklist for sanity when wellness trends pop up
