500: What The Media Got Wrong: The Netflix Narrative, Censorship, and Standing Up for Alternative Medicine (Gurus Who Grift Part 2)


Listen Later

In this fiery follow-up to Part 1, Allison Melody is back with more truth bombs about the Netflix series Apple Cider Vinegar and the real-world consequences of media narratives that equate wellness fraudsters with wellness itself. Belle Gibson lied about curing cancer with Gerson Therapy, but that doesn't mean Gerson Therapy is a lie.

Allison breaks down what Apple Cider Vinegar got so wrong about alternative medicine, shares her personal censorship story (yes, YouTube is at it again), and reads some of the shocking and heartbreaking responses she received after posting her thoughts online.

From personal loss to purpose-driven passion, this episode is a call to protect the integrity of healing modalities that have helped so many. It's a reminder that just because something is healing doesn't mean the person teaching it is a healer.

Topics Covered
  • What the Netflix series Apple Cider Vinegar gets wrong about Gerson Therapy

  • The difference between a scammer and a healing modality

  • Censorship in the wellness space and Allison's personal battle with YouTube

  • The dark side of speaking your truth online: internet trolls and death threats

  • Why the suppression of alternative medicine threatens our right to informed health choices

Quotes We Love:

"The scammer isn't the science." "Just because something is healing doesn't mean the person teaching it is a healer." "Belle Gibson lied. That doesn't make Gerson Therapy a lie." "Our health is in our hands, and we deserve all the information to make the right decisions."
