Many natural alternatives can be poisonous. These products can be misleading by claiming to be healthy but they can still contain these dangerous chemical additives.
Connection (Website):These teas and shakes claim to naturally detoxify the human body, thus shedding body fat 'naturally'. According to medical officials, these products should be consumed under medical supervision and they should not be consumed the recommended amount on the package. This ties into the Pseudoscience watchlist because companies like this profit from marketing these products as safe and natural when in reality they are dangerous.]]> 2020-02-11 01:09:43 UTC https://padlet.com/amawoodsy/yv72910e4ykm/wish/443423963 amawoodsy https://padlet.com/amawoodsy/yv72910e4ykm/wish/443427030 Definition: To interpret new evidence as confirmation of ones beliefs or theories.
Connection (Video): Ghost Adventures Crew are a group of ghost hunters that have a TV show on the travel channel called Ghost Adventures. They claim to be the leading researchers in the world for the paranormal , they travel all across America going to presumably haunted locations and investigate using cameras, voice recorders, night vision , thermal cameras to catch ghosts on camera. However, just because these ghost hunters are using scientific gadgets to catch ghost to prove there existence does not validate that ghosts are real. Videos can be faked by using very good CGI and scientific gadgets that can be tampered with to do a certain thing such as voice phenomenons or unexplained foot steps.    ]]> 2020-02-11 01:19:14 UTC https://padlet.com/amawoodsy/yv72910e4ykm/wish/443427030 amawoodsy https://padlet.com/amawoodsy/yv72910e4ykm/wish/443431118 Definition: Includes any reference to Ancient beings, knowledge and practices.

Connection (Website): This website connects to the ancient wisdom of Cannabis and it's medical benefits. This connects with how an ancient Chinese surgeon Hua Tuo (c. 140-208) is the first recorded person to use cannabis as an anesthetic.

Connection (Social Media Post): This supplement gummy claims to make your hair stronger, reduce breakage and make your hair shiny. Sugar Bear Hair is endorsed by Kylie Jenner a famous social media influencer and reality TV star. Because she advertises these hair gummies it validates to the mass pubic that they work because she is famous. However,  you should consult with a doctor before taking this supplement because it may not be right for everyone. ]]> 2020-02-11 01:45:38 UTC https://padlet.com/amawoodsy/yv72910e4ykm/wish/443436888 amawoodsy https://padlet.com/amawoodsy/yv72910e4ykm/wish/443437523 Definition: Emotions and process within the human body that could not be explained, and explain it through crystals, light, and energy, having positive or negative effects.
Connection (Website): People claim that crystals produce energy that can heal people. Different crystals heal and protect different things, for example rose quarts is said to heal a broken heart. It is not a proven science, and it is an unseen "energy" that helps process within the body.

Connection (Video): In this video a man named Jim  didn't believe in god, but his wife did, and she prayed that he would believe. Then he had a near death experience of taking too much of his medication, and then was found by his wife who called an ambulance. While Jim was in a coma state in the hospital he saw both of what he depicts as the Devil and God and then he spoke to God who had forgiven him. After his experience he wakes up and finally believes in God.]]> 2020-02-11 01:49:52 UTC https://padlet.com/amawoodsy/yv72910e4ykm/wish/443438484 amawoodsy https://padlet.com/amawoodsy/yv72910e4ykm/wish/443445092 Definition: When a person sees a pattern where it naturally does not exist. This was suppose to help us in the caveman days depict faces in order to survive.
Connection (Image): This particular patter is called Pareidolia. Pereidolia is when we see faces in objects or nature where faces are not actually there. Our brains try to see patterns where they don't actually exist. In this image there is a flower that looks like it has a human skull in it.

Connection (Image): This photo is a photograph of a family names the Cooper family. This is an example of unexplained because a lot of people believe that it is a paranormal experience. Meanwhile skeptics believe that this could be a result from photo manipulation, a dead family member or a life size doll.

Define the problem:
A 16 year old girl named Anneliese Michel experienced demonic possession.

Gather Information:
Anneliese was experiencing episodes of falling unconscious, her mother took her to a family doctor Dr.Vogt and a neurologist Dr.Luthy , they did brain scans and found nothing. Anneliese continued to experience these episodes , she was prescribed anticonvulsants and other drugs. Anneliese started to hear unexplained knocking , she also reported hearing voices damning her to hell. Her mother caught her staring at a religious icon and watched Anneliese eyes turn black. She also reported seeing demon faces staring at her. Anneliese also met with a Freudian psychiatrist that diagnosed her neurotic with possible epilepsy. Her condition continued to worsen , a priest told the family that she was possessed by a demon , and that is why she is exhibiting un-natural behaviour like blacking out, hearing demonic voices, exhibiting super strength and speaking in tongue.               
Evaluate Evidence:
Her pupils were dilated and unusual absence of ulcers on her body, which are frequently found in starvation cases. The defence (the church) had recordings and eyewitness testimony that wasn't taken seriously.

Recognize Assumptions, Emotions, Biases:
Her and her family were very religious, they believed in possession and demons and they trusted the beliefs of the church more than what the doctors diagnosed Anneliese with.

Synthesis Evidence, Identify Alternatives:
1) The prosecution had argued that Analiese had epilepsy and psychosis and that her parents and two priests were liable for failing to act to save her life. Analiese's autopsy came back that she did not have epilepsy. They also found that father Alt (the priest who helped Analiese from the beginning, but didn't do the exorcisms) had signs of Schizophrenia.
2) Demons were possessing Analiese and the church was doing everything in their power to help her, but she ended up dying from possession.

Select Best Alternative:
Her family should have sought out more medical attention for Anneliese's condition. It was clear that she was suffering from epilepsy and neurosis.  ]]> 2020-02-11 02:36:52 UTC https://padlet.com/amawoodsy/yv72910e4ykm/wish/443452671
