Get your popcorn and read this response from a gynaecologist who was targeted by Gwyneth Paltrow for suggesting that some of her GOOP advice was rubbish:
GOOP’s misogynistic, mansplaining hit job
GOOP and Gwyneth Paltrow have a case of GOOPitis, which according to Dr. Steve Gundry is due to my potty mouthed facts. Or tomato skins. Or something. I find it all very disjointed, inadequately re…

Loved this line (dropped in out of the blue
"Addressing GOOP errors like this one is not disrespecting women it’s pointing out the fucking truth."

People are fucking dumb:
'she has heard clients suggest the inoculations could give their pups autism'

What the actual fuck?
he editors at GOOP find me “strangely confident” in my “assertion that putting a crystal in your vagina for pelvic-floor strengthening exercises would put you in danger of getting Toxic Shock Syndrome—even though there is no study/case/report which links the two.” I am not strangely confident about vaginal health, I am appropriately confident because I am the expert. I did 4 years of medical school, a 5 year OB/GYN residency, a 1 year fellowship in infectious diseases, I am board certified in OB/GYN in 2 countries, I am board certified by the American Board of Pain Medicine and the American Board of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation in Pain Medicine and I am appropriately styled Dr. Jen Gunter MD, FRCS(C), FACOG, DABPM, ABPM (pain). A woman with no medical training who tells women to walk around with a jade egg in their vaginas all day, a jade egg that they can recharge with the energy of the moon no less, is the strangely confident one.re -

Oh FFS. Apparently under Prop 65 simply an allegation that coffee contains a trace of a cancer-causing chemical is enough to force coffee sellers to post cancer warnings. 7-Eleven has already settled. A pox on do-gooders everywhere.

Thinking of seeing a chiropractor for that sore neck?

Here is the beta version of my strip on chiropractic therapy. It's a little rough and will need proofreading from those of you with eyes sha...

Just saw this when viewing the latest post. I had the displeasure of viewing part of this tripe a few months back. It starts off innocently enough and then goes into full on anti everything but vegan mode. It defies belief that The Red Pill was banned from Netflix but this shit (which is potentially far far more harmful) is considered ok. In one part they even had a guy saying promoting milk is racist.
As for chiropractors. Doesn't that profession have a really dodgy history?

Red Pill is on Amazon tv if you haven’t seen it yet.
Read the first link I posted, it gives you a great breakdown of Chiro history. It’s bullshit, also it’s dangerous bullshit . And expensive bullshit too.

Hmmm.
We're not on a reticulated water supply, so basically pump water from the ground and assume and hope that it passing though a few kilometres of gravel will naturally filter out the shit.
Nonetheless, I'm thinking about buying a Berkey water filter for our drinking water.
Drinking "raw water" seems like marketing bullshit, but it's a bit worrying that we can't just wander up to drink out of most streams in NZ without worrying about giardia, salmonella etc.
40 years ago, when I was a kid we could.
These days we have to listen to fuckers like Nick Smith about degrading quality standards of water.
Pleased he's in the opposition.

@Chris-B I think we were much more likely to dodge any water quality issues back in the day.
The problems that did exist were much more localised... A family member who worked microbiology at MAF in the 1980's even then would lament a few farmers who got their home water supply tested as a 'last resort' - after months of recurring family illness - only to find there was a serious problem with the "but it can't be a problem, it's pure stream" water.
What leaves me shaking my head at the alternative health circles is that they'd willingly forgoing treated supplies. How many parts of the world (and rural NZ) don't even have the luxury of a choice...
The biggest problem is that it'll be their children who are put most at risk.
