In 2016, Ben Young's disturbing Hounds of Love took the Venice International Film Festival by storm. This disturbing story of torture and extreme codependency won over critics while star Ashleigh Cummings secured the Fedeora Award for Best Actress. But while commending the film's harrowing appeal, audiences noticed a striking similarity to the real crimes of David and Katherine Birnie.  Young has distanced himself from the true crime label, but does this film feel like an adaptation of a single story or pulled from a variety of horrific crimes?  Wanna connect with the show?

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.

Today, after a brief discussion of shows Ali and Asif have been watching lately – including ‘One Day' and ‘Adolescence' (as well as shows they bailed on… ‘Breaking Bad' and ‘The White Lotus') – they discuss ‘Apple Cider Vinegar' and Belle Gibson (7:43). They go over Belle Gibson's rise from Instagram “Wellness Warrior” to being exposed as faking having brain cancer. They then discuss the Netflix TV show based on Belle Gibson's story ‘Apple Cider Vinegar'. They discuss how the show weaves in Belle's story with the fictionalized character of Milla who is closely based on Jessica Ainscough, a prominent Australian influencer who billed herself as Wellness Warrior who did in fact have cancer. They then give their thoughts on the show including Kaityn Dever's amazing performance.    Then, based on the recent outbreaks in North America, Ali asks Asif about Measles (26:48). Asif talks about what it is and how it is one of the most contagious infectious diseases. Asif then talks about who is at risk of contracting measles including the unvaccinated, children under age 1 year and the immunocompromised. Asif goes over the symptoms and the potential fatal complications. He then goes over how it is treated. Then Ali asks Asif about the reasons for declining vaccination rates.    The opinions expressed are those of the hosts, and do not reflect those of any other organizations.

We discuss the particular hellscape that is a reality tv reunion and the trauma it provides. We discuss why bangs are never the answer and you should never get a tattoo when you're in the throes of life's worst moments. Sarah talks about Belle Gibson who became a successful influencer, cookbook author, and lifestyle blogger based on a lie that she had terminal cancer she was treating homeopathically. We find out why young people aren't getting romantically involved and debate whether that's a bad or good thing. And we hear why reality tv causes insecurity in men and women in different ways.

She made millions, taking charity money and raking in donations for a disease she did not have. It has sparked a wider conversation about beating Cancer holistically, steering clear of Chemo and Radiation, and is it even possible? 'I am afraid you have Cancer, and a 65% chance of making another 5 years'. These are the words that Nicola Corcoran heard, as a mother of two, over a decade ago. In this mesmerizing episode, we hear how Nicola rejected traditional medicine, including Chemo and Radiation, and changed the way she lived in order for her to succeed and continue living a life beyond her wildest dreams. Astonishingly she has never been told the Cancer has gone, but through changing her perspective, working on her physical and mental wellbeing, Nicola is thriving and helping other people with cancer to overcome their fear, and live full and liberated lives. Nicola made it her mission to heal, embracing a totally new way of living. she reassessed her lifestyle down to the way she eats, thinks and breathes.

Her bestselling cookbook and online app provided her success, respect, and a connection to the cancer-battling influencer she admired the most.

Kaitlyn Dever stars in the Netflix hit series Apple Cider Vinegar.  Inspired by true events, the dramatized story follows Belle's journey from self-styled wellness thought leader to disgraced con artist. It also explores themes of hope and acceptance - and how far we'll go to maintain it. In this episode of You Can't Make This Up, host Rebecca Lavoie interviews executive producer Samantha Strauss.

Belle Gibson was an early social media health influencer, with a best-selling  book and a popular wellness app. She drew attention after claiming she had several forms of malignant cancer, and was treating them with alternative therapies and diet. When Gibson told the world her holistic approach was keeping her alive and well despite her diagnoses, followers and readers put their faith in her guidance. But when journalists discovered Gibson had faked her illnesses and wasn't truthful about her charitable contributions, the fall out implicated not only her, but also a leading publishing house and one of the world's largest tech companies. The scandal is chronicled in the book The Woman Who Fooled The World: The True Story of Fake Wellness Guru Belle Gibson, which serves as the inspiration for the dramatized Netflix series Apple Cider Vinegar starring Kaitlyn Dever. How did the real Belle Gibson build her empire on a bed of lies? And more importantly: why did she do it?  In this episode of You Can't Make This Up, host Rebecca Lavoie interviews authors and investigative journalists Beau Donelly and Nick Toscano. SPOILER ALERT!
