They don’t care. They need their anti-intellectualism as badly as fundamentalist Christians.

Let it be finished tonight.

But I do find it funny how Lemmy people will one jerk down vote anything that causes them any minor about it cognitive dissidence.

Never stopped.

Just gonna leave this here…

There are several problems with the charlatans.

1. if you haven’t taken a science class since high school, then their advice often right. I’m amazed at how quickly the medical pseudo-science that flipped politically in my life time. I was raised in a deep red conservative Christian community and I don’t remember anti-vaccines ever being a thing for my community (we definitely had our issues, just not that one). The medical pseudo-science thing back then was firmly in the far left liberal sphere. The anti-vaxx movement was a hippy-liberal thing. (I’m not really sure when that flipped.)

2. The medical industry -including academia- is very much at fault in burning trust. There are many instances of the medical industry intentionally withholding treatments because a different treatment made them more money. Or doctors over prescribing in order to charge insurance companies more money.

3. A lot of what RFK jr says. Starts off good. He’s all like “Hey, we medicate too much. We should all focus on eating healthier and exercising. That’s what the government should encourage.” And even I’m like, “Yeah, okay. I agree.” Then he goes on to say “And that why you should shove a bowling ball up your butt.” That’s when he loses me.

I’m an environmental engineer and environmental scientist and I specialize in industrial hazmat waste issues, but I recognize even I’m a bit out of my professional lane on this.

But if you were to identify specific “toxins” that you are interested in “cleansing” there are often methods to do that. But first, I would recommend talking to a health professional. And those cleanses are going to vary significantly based on the toxin of interest.

But your best general “cleanse” is to eat more green leafy vegetables and exercise regularly. And feel free to drink a 4oz glass of milk a couple times a week.

Do you know what she was arrested for?

Protesting on the wrong place, I imagine?

First of all, no they don’t. There is a very small minority of MAGAs that are real preppers. (I actually have some respect for those people.)

The rest are just soulless suburban pawns that hide their racism in faux-Christianity or faux-libertarianism. The cat majority of them are up to their eyes in debt.

Those people aren’t the people that need to be reminded.

Who reads their money?

If micro plastics were a problem then we should expect to see rapid increases in cancers in younger adults.

Handed a note

Huh. No shit.

Yeah the dude is really wrong.

Your body is good at filtering out hydrophilic toxins. But for just about every other toxin… Not so much. Most hydrophobic toxins and other toxins, like heavy metals, VOCs, pesticides, micro plastics, etc., are man made and your body hasn’t had millions of years to evolve natural filters.

They look at you like that because they know, right now, you are young and feel invincible. And you practically are.

But they know that you won’t be forever. And they know that you are missing an opportunity to prepare for the second half of your life because you are living to the fullest now.

And they know that it’s your choice to make.
