Yeah I clocked it right away, but to me the casual use of colloidal silver is so obviously misguided. Good show otherwise. Carl Sagan's "Demon-Haunted World" has served me well, along with "The Faith Healers" by James Randi and many others of that ilk.That’s pretty funny. Yes the silver users along with the anti parasite drug users are interesting. Silver is harmful, the anti parasite drugs when used appropriately are fine… but won’t fix cancer and are blunt tools when used for inflammation.
Placebo has messed up many a promising trial.. it’s often too powerful. You can count on around 30% response almost always. I prefer to measure efficacy with labs or tumor markers or ctDNA. What someone says anecdotally isn’t trustworthy.
I once got my hair cut and the barber showed me a pomade he was making, proudly dubbing it, "chemical free".
"Everything is chemical!", I told him—"including dihydrogen monoxide a.k.a. water."
Penn and Teller had a great bit where they got a bunch of people to sign a petition to ban the scary-sounding "dihydrogen monoxide". Hilarious!
