Swine Flu and Depleted Uranium
This is one of my favorite podcasts.
There is so much pseudoscience out in the world, bad facts and figures, it makes it hard to know what’s real. Scam artist use these things to sell magic jewelry and free energy solutions, others make money selling books or movies with much things as the Amityville Horror and people actually put their own heath at risk with useless alternative medicine schemes, like detoxification and reflexology. We haven’t even mentioned the Conspiracy theorists
Today we’re going to find out if wearing a face mask will prevent you from catching the swine flu; whether depleted uranium on a battlefield can give you lymphoma or other cancers; whether expensive audio cables can affect the tone or quality of sound from a guitar; we’re going to see what kind of research has been done to test the usefulness of New Age “Family Constellations” therapy; and we’re going to look into whether “Functional Medicine” is fact or fancy.- From The Skeptoid Website
