- Vaccinations spread not only autism but cancer, AIDS and pretty much everything.
- Lots of obvious ones: Chemtrails, gmo's, homeopathy, 9/11.
- Microwaves 'kill' your food.
- They believe in the nonsense spewed by David Wolfe, Food Babe, etc.
- They once considered moving because of Fukoshima. Keep in mind they live in BC, over 8 hours from the ocean.
- She shared an article recently about how most unexplained chronic illnesses are actually 'chronic Lyme disease' whose existence is denied by shadowy government agencies.
- Another recent one was the government uses fluoride to 'turn off' the pituitary gland which of course is responsible for human intuition.
- Everything is evil corporations, corrupt governments, corrupt scientists, conspiracies, new world order, WHO, etc.

They use anecdotal evidence to prove their points and ad hominem attacts if you disagree. The worst part is they think this sort of thinking makes them more open minded and enlightened than other people. They are otherwise good, fun, hard-working people and I love them to death but so much face palm.

I want to thank but I think you just gave me cancer.
