TWITTER: https://twitter.com/gm_skepticUploaded 03-08-177 Common Arguments for Alternative DebunkedAlternative medicine proponents argue for their viewpoints in similar ways to religious apologists. Their arguments are just as ill-informed and irrational as any religious fundamentalist’s. So, debunking them takes little more than basic critical thinking skills and a little understanding of how drugs are researched and regulated. Naturopathy is pseudoscience, essential oils don’t work, homeopathy is a scam, the supplement industry is bogus, and the terrible arguments their proponents present are definitely no help.The claims I debunk are as follows:1. There are no side effects2. I’ve experienced it and it works3. It's been used for thousands of years4. There’s research about it5. Big pharma is all about money and alternative medicine isn’t6. Pharmaceuticals are derived from plant extracts, so you might as well take the “real thing”7. God made it so it must be the perfect medicineSUBSCRIBE for more videos on pseudoscience, skepticism, and atheism!This video contains 100% therapeutic grade skepticism.**This statement has not been evaluated by the FDA
