Opium, botulism, unprocessed dairy products are natural but have the potential to cause severe illness.

Connection: This video shows just how advertising and marketing are able to manipulate the use of the term All Natural for the purposes of profit. It also explains how the term s used without any type of government regulation.]]> 2017-10-17 21:52:15 UTC https://padlet.com/anoosolomon/gfn3xxiqt9sz/wish/198037254 POST #3 Red Flag: Ancient Wisdom (video) anoosolomon https://padlet.com/anoosolomon/gfn3xxiqt9sz/wish/198047189 Definition: The Ancient Wisdom red flag touts ancient practices based on unproven evidence and myths and other unlikely theories. They are not current or proven by science but more so lore

Connection: Gwyneth Paltrow is a shown here talking about the Ancient Wisdom behind one of her many bogus overpriced, healing/betterment products

It is an attempt to create a distraction.

Connection: Red Herring reg flag queen Kellyanne Conway is shown as a perfect example.

The power is mediated by an energy, force or vibration and common jargon  are holism, resonance, balance, essences and higher states.

Connection: This video shows an "Energy Master" not proving he can use this Mystical Energy for protection.

Something fact based on scientific evidence may be more complicated to understand. Humans like things to be uncomplicated. The mind rests easier when it can quickly find a solution to a complex situation.

Connection: Simplicity vs scientific fact-this chart defines the ongoing evolution of science.

Connection: Ideological Support is shown at its worst i this video about a couple who chose religion over medical treatment for their 2 children.]]> 2017-10-18 00:28:47 UTC https://padlet.com/anoosolomon/gfn3xxiqt9sz/wish/198059907 POST #7 Reason for Belief: Unexplained (image) anoosolomon https://padlet.com/anoosolomon/gfn3xxiqt9sz/wish/198070489 Definition: Belief in the Unexplained allows people to find a reason or source to something they cannot understand. Humans naturally feel the need to know why or what is happening and therefore will place belief in an unsubstantiated theory instead of not knowing anything.

Connection: The image below depicts stats about the amount of people who choose various paranormal reasoning about the Unexplained.]]> 2017-10-18 01:34:34 UTC https://padlet.com/anoosolomon/gfn3xxiqt9sz/wish/198070489 POST #8 Reason for Belief: Patternicity (webpage) anoosolomon https://padlet.com/anoosolomon/gfn3xxiqt9sz/wish/198072837 Definition: Patternicity is when people will see a defined image in a non specific cluster of images. Or, seeing something where there is nothing. Like Jesus on your toast....

Connection: The webpage cited discusses the human need for clarification and clarity amidst a chaotic situation and thus Patternicity is created.
