We all can use common sense.... Leave the Pop Tarts at Costco, so Dr. V and Dr. A can stock up our bunkers.  You all can have the TP!

April is STD Awareness Month.  Many of those who are infected don't know it.  Many sexually transmitted infections do not have any symptoms.  The only way to know for sure if you have an STD is to get tested.  We suggest getting tested at your Primary Care Physician's office, your local County STD clinic, or any Planned Parenthood Clinic.

Part 1 of 2: We have two special guests for this episode, to discuss their upbringing in the Assemblies of God Churches, and how it shaped their views of science and evolution.

Fact: In 1963, you were 14,000 MORE likely to be infected with measles as you were in 2005. Fact: Since 2005, when measles was effectively eradicated, the number of people infected and killed is again on the rise. Why? Vaccine fearmongering. Fact: During these outbreaks, children: babies, kids undergoing chemo, ill babies- are far and away the most common victims.  Fiction: Measles isn't a big deal. It only is if you're not the one dying. Fact: It's not just about you, Darla. That's in this episode of What the Woo. need more about measles: CDC Measles Stats Measles Outbreak in Phillippines Kills 136   Today's music credit: "Lights of Winter" by Borrtex

Dr. V and Dr. A discuss attending BlogHerHealth, a summit for influencers in the women's health space. Who joined? And what did they bring to the table? In the big money world of social media influencers, the docs dish on good intentions, the demographics of the wellness crowd, and why you rarely see medical professionals leading the charge in the influencer space (hint: it's not because we don't want to!)

If two recent deaths in the news have taught us anything, it's this: Rabies is still alive and well in the United States. How are people here still dying from this disease? Can it be prevented? In this episode Dr V and Dr A discuss the two cases, what went wrong, and how you can (easily) avoid being a statistic by knowing the facts about little furry zombies.   Music credits: https://www.purple-planet.com More info about rabies in people and animals: https://www.cdc.gov/rabies/index.html

Flu Vaccine Woo and You!

Dr. A and Dr. V discuss natural cancer "cures"

Raw milk: While some people promote it as "healthier", they never really say why. We know why it isn't healthy: it can cause serious, life threatening infections. On this episode, we listen to some stories from the CDC about people sickened by raw milk products, and we share some thoughts about how to get the word out about getting super sick.

When a recent outbreak of E.coli caused a national recall of the produce, CNN turned to a leading woo proponent for advice: Food Babe. We discuss her appearance on the network and how her vague, unrelated, and meandering tips put the entire nation at risk. E.coli: it's what's for dinner!

Boutique, exotic, grain-free pet diets are taking over the pet food space. We all want what's best for our pets, but how much of it is marketing versus reality? Are these foods actually better or is this just another ploy to take advantage of well meaning pet parents? We discuss pet food trends as well as a developing link between certain dog foods and heart disease.

Do animals have feelings? Heck yes they do! Dr. V and Dr. A discuss what we know and don't know about animal emotions, and Dr. V tells the story of an amazing, intrigue filled assassination event she saw when she was in Tanzania that redefined what we know about chimpanzee behavior.

Why do people willingly submit themselves to colon flushes when they don't have to? Is this even a medical procedure? Dr. A and Dr. V go through a promotional colon cleanse video and find the major warning signs that this is some serious woo. (hint: comic sans is involved.)

Doctors are professionals, but they are also human. Many of us worry when we're in with embarrassing questions or procedures that the doctor might be secretly judging us. Is she? Dr. A dishes the dirt on what your OB/GYN is thinking when she's doing your annual exam.
