We will be critically examining the Mystical Energy red flag example from earlier in this Padlet.

Problem:
The problems that are claimed to be "fixed" by energy healing are both physical and emotional ailments: chronic pain, emotional pain, sickness.

Gather Information:
The website this is from is a private practice offering this energy healing service. Having and promoting a positive outlook on the service would be beneficial to their business. There is only one viewpoint on energy healing stated and it is overwhelmingly positive.

Evaluate Evidence:
The website claims that the energy healing is based on scientific fact but has no actual evidence pointing to this.
Ironically, in the first sentence, the author notes that energy healing is based in pseudo-science. It doesn't look like the scientific method has been followed, as there is no real proof listed anywhere on the website.

Assumptions, Biases, and Emotions:
The author has a large bias as they are writing the article for a website promoting its services. Emotionally, they seem to be very invested in the practice.

Synthesize Evidence, Identify Alternatives:
The evidence provided is planted in the confirmation bias red flag. There are no scientific articles or studies shown. The author claims that the energy healing is painless, which seems to be true. The alternatives to energy healing are over-the-counter pain relief, such as Advil or Tylenol, seeing a medical doctor for tests, a physiotherapist for rehab, or a psychologist for emotional wounds.

Best Alternative:
Besides hurting their wallet, this energy healing doesn't seem to have any big negative effects. It may not work like a miracle cure, but the placebo effect is a well-known phenomenon. Ideally, if you are dealing with physical or emotional pain, you should see a certified medical doctor, or a therapist. They have the proper, science-backed tools to help you.

Picture this: You are told you have an illness that will stick with you forever. It can be managed, but you need to go for tests every 4 months, take a ton of medication, and you have to cut down on sugars, coffee, and strenuous exercise. That could be a huge lifestyle change, with a lot of added stress. Now, if someone said they could manage your illness with just one "health-conscious" smoothie a day, which would you be more willing to handle?
Probably the simple answer, the smoothie. Sometimes, even without true scientific backing, we look for those "simple" solutions, and believe in them because we want them to be true.

Connection:
This New York Times article describes the story of a family in Florida selling a "cure-all" to the general public. This family marketed their miracle cure as something that could cure tons of things such as covid-19, Alzheimer's disease and autism. These people sold over a million dollars worth of product, which turned out to be toxic bleach. This family is extremely cruel, preying on people's desire for simple answers. The reason so many people were able to fall for this scam is that when faced with a critical situation, like dealing with a family member who has an incurable disease, it is very easy to believe such a simple product can fix anything. People want a quick fix for complex problems and unfortunately, that is not how the world works.

A Florida grand jury indicted a man and his three sons, accusing them of marketing an "unproven and potentially harmful" solution as a remedy for Covid-19, cancer, autism and more.

MIAMI - Leaders of a business masquerading as a church sold a toxic bleach solution as a religious sacrament and marketed it as a "miracle" cure for Covid-19, cancer, autism, Alzheimer's disease and more, federal prosecutors said.

A federal grand jury in Miami has indicted Mark Grenon, 62, and his three sons, Jonathan Grenon, 34; Jordan Grenon, 26; and Joseph Grenon, 32; all of Bradenton, Fla. Prosecutors said on Friday that they violated court orders and fraudulently produced and sold more than $1 million of their "Miracle Mineral Solution," a dangerous industrial bleach solution.

The solution contains sodium chlorite and water. When it is ingested orally, it becomes chlorine dioxide, a strong bleach used in industrial water treatments and in bleaching textiles, pulp or paper, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida said.

The federal Food and Drug Administration warned last year that the product the men were accused of marketing through the Genesis II Church of Health and Healing was "unproven and potentially harmful."

Mark Grenon and his sons relied on a book, radio station and a newsletter to market their solution to vulnerable consumers, prosecutors said. Credit... via YouTube

"Despite a previous warning, the Genesis II Church of Healing has continued to actively place consumers at risk by peddling potentially dangerous and unapproved chlorine dioxide products," Stephen M. Hahn said last year, when he was the F.D.A. commissioner.

The Grenons relied on a book, radio station and newsletter and cited Bible verses to market the solution to vulnerable consumers, according to prosecutors. It was unclear whether anyone was sickened or died from taking the product they promoted.

In documents from a civil case last year, a program analyst at the F.D.A. said she ordered the bleach product and had it shipped to her. Federal prosecutors said they found that the solution was being manufactured in a shed in Jonathan Grenon's backyard.

Officers seized dozens of blue chemical drums with nearly 10,000 pounds of sodium chlorite powder that could produce thousands of bottles of the solution, federal prosecutors said. Loaded firearms were also recovered, including a pump-action shotgun concealed in a custom-made violin case, officials said.

The Grenons were each charged with conspiracy to commit fraud and criminal contempt. If convicted, they could face life in prison, federal prosecutors said.

The church has described itself on its websites as a "nonreligious church," federal prosecutors said.

Mark Grenon, described as an archbishop and a founder, has also repeatedly said that the church "has nothing to do with religion," and that he founded the institution to legalize the use of the bleach solution and to avoid going to prison, prosecutors said.

The church has promoted the bleach solution for years.

Jim Humble, a church founder and a former Scientologist, has claimed that he is a billion-year-old god from the Andromeda galaxy. Mr. Humble, who was not charged in the case involving the Grenons, said that he asked "to be put in the part of the space navy that watched over Earth," according to an investigation last year by ABC7 in Los Angeles.

Jonathan Grenon and Jordan Grenon were arrested last summer on related charges based on a complaint filed by federal prosecutors in Miami. They have been detained since their arrest based on a judge's ruling that they posed a risk of not appearing at future court proceedings and were considered a danger to the community.

Mark Grenon and Joseph Grenon are currently in Colombia, prosecutors said. The Grenons, who could not be reached, have previously represented themselves in court.

Federal prosecutors believe that Mark Grenon and Joseph Grenon operate what they call a "health restoration center" in Santa Marta, Colombia, where they charge consumers about $5,000 a month to stay at the compound and "dose themselves with Miracle Mineral Solution," court records show.

Federal prosecutors brought criminal contempt charges against the Grenons, accusing them of willfully violating court orders in a separate civil court case last year that directed the family to halt distribution of the solution.

Prosecutors said the Grenons also threatened a federal judge presiding over the civil case, saying that if the government stopped their solution distribution they would "pick up guns" and instigate "a Waco," a reference to the deadly 1993 siege by federal agents of a religious sect's compound in Texas.

This case is one of several that have been prosecuted related to a debunked bleach cure. In 2015, a seller of a bleach solution from Spokane, Wash., was sentenced to more than four years in federal prison.

"I can tell you that the Department of Justice is taking the distribution of Miracle Mineral Solution, and all chlorine dioxide products, extremely seriously," said Michael B. Homer, the assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida.

Post #8: We Lack the Proper Tools for Critical Thinking

# data[].attributes.body
Definition:
Sometimes we are not able to critically think about the situations around us. We believe things that are too good to be true because we cannot analyze them from a non-biased perspective. Sometimes, we distrust experts with real, lived experiences, and turn towards the unknown. If we all took the time to understand the critical thinking process, we could look at the conditions around us without rose-tinted glasses.

Connection:
This website tries to explain what type of crystal is supposed to be able to cure specific ailments. The first crystal, amethyst, claims to be able to heal aches and pains. People who lack the tools for critical thinking are more likely to believe in nonsense like this. Using proper analysis, it may be clear to most people that crystals cannot possibly cure things such as headaches, heart problems, depression, or even skeletal issues like this article claims, but people who are not able to analyze these things properly will believe in this. This article also uses a lot of vague ailments that are not very easy to measure like "energy levels" and motivation which may trick less skeptical people into thinking that these crystal are actually working for them.

We tend to believe what we hear even if it may not be true because the unexplained is more interesting and enticing than what we already have the answers for.

Connection:
This article describes thirteen very common superstitions that many people believe in. These superstitions, such as crossing paths with a black cat being bad luck, are things that are so commonly believed that we wouldn't think twice about someone changing their route just because of a cat. The reason so many people believe in these superstitions is that these offer solutions for any "bad luck" someone may encounter. There is also the fear of the unknown for some superstitions, such as walking under a ladder. The fear of "something bad" happening is enough for most people to avoid a path with a ladder without a proper explanation of what might happen to them. People also like to believe in things that may bring them good luck, like crossing their fingers. Some people think that by crossing their fingers some unknown force will improve their luck. Of course, none of these superstitions actually ever amount to anything, aside from perhaps breaking a mirror which creates a dangerous mess!

The belief that some people have that they can control "energy fields" to heal people without proper medicine.

Connection:
This website claims that they can use mystical energy to heal physical and emotional ailments. It also claims that energy fields can be used to heal emotional trauma. It says that these energy fields are harmless and have no negative side effects. With any critical thinking or skepticism, it is clear that none of these claims are backed up by science and are not really effective. It can also be noted that the website claims these healing techniques are harmless, but they also charge for the service that essentially does nothing and therefore is harmful to the client's finances.

Energy Medicine is based upon the pseudo-scientific premise that the human body encompasses an energetic "life force" and energy centres (chakras) that keep the body's cells healthy, functioning and alive.

Energy healing is a holistic practice where healers channel universal life force (or healing energy) into a patient to help balance, heal and remove blockages from the body. Flow, balance, harmony and vitality within the body can be restored and maintained during a treatment. Energy Medicine includes a variety of holistic healing modalities like: Reiki Energy Healing, Light Therapy, Acupuncture, Reflexology, Thai Massage, Tapping, and more.

Your energetic body has a crucial role to play towards your wellbeing journey. Here are 5 things everyone needs to know about Energy Healing:
1. Energy Healing is Based on Scientific Fact
Everything in this universe is composed of molecules that are vibrating at various frequencies. The molecules located within our bodies are constantly vibrating and radiating positive or negative, balanced or unbalanced, opened or closed frequencies. When our organs are misaligned energetically and radiating low-vibrational frequencies, it can materialize into physical ailments, like pains, sickness and disease.
2. Energy Medicine Can Help Heal Physical and Emotional Traumas
Our energetic bodies are intertwined with our physical bodies. All the traumas we carry physically, emotionally and psychologically impact the functionality of our energy systems (chakras) and vice versa. To maintain vibrant health, the body needs its energies to have energetic space to flow freely throughout the body. When energies become blocked because of traumas, toxins, prolonged stress and muscular constrictions, it creates disturbances in the energy flow in our bodies, which over time contributes to mental, emotional issues and/or ailments and physical disease.
3. Energy Healing is Available to Everyone
There is often a misconception that you need to be spiritual to be open and receptive to energy healing. Energy healing is readily available to everyone who is interested and willing to receive it. You don't need to be spiritual or hypersensitive to energies to benefit from an energy healing treatment. As humans (just like every living being), we all have an energetic body that needs to be balanced and taken care of regularly. Some energy medicine modalities, like reiki treatments, transcend time and space. Therefore, you don't have to be located in the same room, city or even country as your energy healer to receive and benefit from energy healing treatment.
4. Energy Medicine is Painless and has no Negative Side Effects
During an energy healing treatment, patients will feel little to no physical discomfort. During the majority of the session, patients will be lying comfortably on a bed while the practitioner non-invasively assesses their aura and releases energetic blockages from the body. As the blockages are being released and chakras are being balanced, patients will experience a rebalancing process that may evoke a variety of emotions or physical sensations, like tiredness, anger, sadness, emptiness, or light headedness. This usually occurs when a deeply embedded trauma or attachment is finally released from the physical, emotional and energetic bodies. It is essential to allow your mind, body and soul to acknowledge the trauma that has been released during your energy healing treatment and fill that space with new, light, healing energies.
5. Energy Medicine Works with Almost Every Other Type of Healing
Energy healing therapy has been used to treat various health conditions and complements many other forms of treatments and therapies. Combining holistic therapies, like Reiki Energy Healing, with conventional health treatments can help you optimize your health and wellbeing. There is no "one size fits all" when it comes to healing. Energy medicine doesn't replace Western Medicine and vice versa. But, together various forms of healing modalities and therapies can work in conjunction to effectively support, balance, restore, cure and repair your body.

Appeal to authority is the red flag in which people are more inclined to believe something from an authoritative figure, such as an influencer, or an important looking figure.

Connection:
In this YouTube short, Joe Rogan is advertising his product called AlphaBrain. In this advertisement, he uses at least two red flags. The first flag being proof by verbosity, where he uses technical terms and jargon to make his product sound more impressive. This advertisement also has the appeal to authority red flag and it is used multiple times. Since Joe Rogan hosts one of the largest podcasts in the world, some people may be more inclined to take the things he says at face value, without any critical thought or further research. This can be dangerous when he simply dismisses any claims that this may be snake oil or a bad product. Appeal to authority is also used when Joe cites a test that he funded with the Boston Center for Memory, trying to give his product more appeal even though it is not FDA approved as a memory enhancing supplement.

When someone actively seeks out evidence that matches up with a claim they made or strongly believe in. Information can be skewed and manipulated to align better with their views and opinions.

Connection:
In this article, there are several examples of confirmation bias. The writer seems to think that just because people have made correct predictions in the past, their astrology beliefs are true. In the first example, Nikola Tesla predicted that it will soon be possible to transmit wireless messages all around the world. This prediction was made in 1909, so it is quite a stretch to say that his prediction came true within the designated timeframe of "soon". The user was clearly trying to use this example to confirm their beliefs in astrology without applying critical thinking. Their reason for belief may be their inquisitive nature since they are looking for connections where none exist.

Have you ever wondered about the things happening around you? Science and Technology are reaching new heights but no one knows the reasons behind it. We are just enjoying the resources without knowing anything related to the past. Maybe someone predicted these things a long ago which we are seeing today. There are a number of mysteries, developments, discoveries, inventions, predictions that we are still unaware of. So, let's talk about some Unbelievable predictions that actually came true.

Wifi and Mobile Phone (1909)

Nikola Tesla, a gifted Electronic Engineer of past time gave a hint about the introduction of Cell Phones and Wifi almost 90 years from now. In 1909 he predicted that " It will soon be possible to transmit wireless messages all over the world so simply that any individual can carry and operate his own apparatus."

Many people took it in a funnier way at that time. In fact, many scientists and researchers even opposed him saying his claims are irrelevant and he just wants to keep himself in headlines. However, all his predictions came true and we are blessed with one of the greatest inventions of all time.

U.S President "Obama" (1968)

John Burner in one of his novels "Stand on Zanzibar" 1968 predicted that around 2010 U.S will have an African- American President. The amazing thing about this prediction was that he even predicted the name of the future president of the U.S as "President Obama".

In 2006, when Obama became the president of America, all his predictions came true. His novel was again revised and won many awards and nominations for its accurate prediction.

Man will Land On Moon (1865)

It's not less than a dream that humans have actually reached to the moon. Decades before Neil Armstrong landed on the moon, Jules Verne in one of his novels " From Earth To Moon " 1865 predicted that around the 19th century we might see the first human being landing on the moon.

Verne also predicted that there would be three astronauts on that first moon mission. However, all his predictions didn't come true but still, we can say he gave us a hint that the earth is going to see a new world.

The All Natural red flag appeals to people by convincing them that having only naturally occurring ingredients is better for them when in reality, some naturally occurring things can be dangerous.

Connection:
In this article, a man claims that drinking urine is a natural 'cure-all'. This is an extreme example of an "all natural" red flag. The man in the article says that he uses urine to soak his feet and even his eyes in. Anyone using critical thinking could see how this is not true, not to mention disgusting. Just because this solution is "all natural" does not mean it is healthy or even has any positive benefits. The article also mentions that this man is selling a course on his urine therapy which is another red flag, involving money. Some people might fall for this because of the appeal to an all natural solution which is easy for them to access.

A Red Herring is an attempt at a distraction where an irrelevant point is wedged into the details of a topic being talked about. This draws attention away from the intended subject, and may be either intentional or unintentional.

Connection:
In this video former US President, Donald Trump is arguing with a reporter about immigration. The reporter asks a question about a caravan and asks why Trump is demonizing them. Trump then instantly deflects the question by talking about proper immigration rules and saying "we need immigrants to come in legally" when that was not the focus of the reporters question. Donald Trump effectively uses a red herring so he doesn't have to directly answer the question about demonizing the small caravan in question. He continuously interrupts the reporter with diversions from the questions being asked.
