Episode notes

Toby McAdam was driven to take a personal hand in his mother's medical care. He believed that the average person could live to 120 years old if only they would follow an all-natural treatment path. In Matt's book, he tells the stories of several people like this. Each have an immense frustration with regulatory bodies,. Because they believe they have figured it out. They're trying to do something heroic.

At the peak of COVID-19, Matthew Hongoltz-Hetling set out to write a book about the widespread pushback against masks and vaccines as away to discuss the rise of the medical freedom movement in America. But after meeting a series of people within that movement his efforts took a sharp turn into the motivations, tribulations, and personal lives of the people who sell miracle cures and dietary supplements, skirting the law when they can, and heading to jail when they can't. The book is titled, If it Sounds Like a Quack, and it is a deep dive into the marketplace of snake oils and magical procedures sold by people who each claim to have found the one true cure for any and everything that could ever ail you.
