Yearly bug and pest deterrent spraying around exteriors of buildings
No, this actually does something.
I live in an all-wood house. (Literally a log cabin.) I’ve had issues with carpenter ants. Spraying permethrin around the house, and on their trails when I see them, has largely eliminated the issue. It’s a pretty concentrated solution, about 10:1, and has to be reapplied every few months (it does wash off, eventually), but it def. does the job.
You can get a less concentrated treatment for clothing if you’re going to be in areas with extremely high levels of mosquitos and ticks.
Alkaline water = artificial spring water
Do you remember that influencer that started her day with alkaline water with lemon juice, the lemon juice being acidic neutralises the alkaline and makes it not alkaline water.
Those self help books just parrot the same things you would find in a wikihow article.
That’s snake oil peddler Gwyneth Paltrow if I recall
Agile Coaches.
It’s like having a cadre of political officers in your team.
To be honest, the oil of a snake is probably pretty nutritious and would surely correct certain deficiencies
Organic food versus GMOs. I think big farma is in on the organic food prices and put false narratives about the dangers of gmo foods.
Quite literal. The Chlorine Dioxide Solution scam came to me through a podologist a year or so ago. What makes this outstanding to me, it’s they succeeded at having some academic backup, though, completely out of context. It’s an absolute rabbit hole, you are warned.

Anything sold by Gwyneth Paltrow in her online shop, which I will not name here so as not to promote it. In the best case, goods sold there will be harmless and entirely useless. In the worst case, they will cause serious harm.
I’m shocked that no one has said Essential Oils yet.
Blue light filter on glasses. When I got my glasses, the lady said they come with blue light filter for free, and I said, “I don’t want that, my job requires that I see colors accurately, so I can’t have any sort of color filter.” She said don’t worry, it doesn’t filter any colors. Ok, then what the fuck is it exactly?
Airfryers. It’s just a convection oven, but smaller.
VPNs for internet access, at least the way they are advertised
I mean isn’t it obviously homoeopathy and a significant part of the rest of alternative medicine (not all of it I guess). It is a billion euro business in Germany alone.
Accupuncture. It is a placebo at best. At worst it is the ccp’s way of expanding its influence In the world. It is medical astrology is what it is.
