On episode 179, we welcome Matthew Hongoltz-Hetling to discuss the alternative medical industrial complex, the proliferation of ‘One True Cures’ and why people are attracted to them, how the elitism and esotericism of mainstream medicine contributed to the rise of modern-day quackery, Robert O. Young and the pH cure, the appeal of Jim Humble and the marketing strategies of charlatans, RFK Jr.’s descent into Covid conspiracy theories, the PR blunders and legal limitations of the FDA, why alternative medicine moved from considering evidence to highlighting the right to medical freedom, whether we can trust the supplements we take and how they’re made, and whether alternative healers actually believe in their miracle cures.
