The anatomy of a detox scam

It is surprisingly easy to sell snake-oil. I know, because I've done it. In 2014, I helped create and sell The Right Detox, a naturopathic health gimmick.

About Naturopathic Diaries

I am an ex-naturopathic doctor. I started this blog to expose naturopathic medicine and protect patients from the dangerous and incompetent practices rife in my former profession. —Britt Marie Hermes Read more.

Legal Defense Fund

In 2017, I was sued in Germany for defamation by an American naturopath who treats cancer patients with intravenous baking soda and vitamin C. In 2018, the German court ruled entirely in my favor. The deadline to appeal the court’s decision has passed,and I have won the case outright. My legal costs were supported through an international fundraising effort organized by Australian Skeptics, Inc.
