When Pseudoscience "Cures" Colorblindness

Your CVD can make you desperate, but before venturing into the void of snake oil and empty promises, remember that there is no current recognized cure for it. This doesn't keep fraudsters from dipping their hands in your pockets, and they will use all sorts of logical fallacies to convince you that they are somehow scientific.

Just received the link for this vid on discord, seems pretty good, I’ll see more about this channel.

Technically, homeopathy can actually cure some medical conditions, such as very mild dehydration.

[@Chromaphobe]

Possibly also diabetic shock if you take enough of the sugar pills.

Just wanted to say, I found you through the colorblind Reddit (you might've seen me before) and your videos are very interesting. No one in my family is colorblind, including me, but I've been interested in the topic, how it affects the colorblind and what colors can be used to distinguish one thing from the other. It helps that I'm an artist who also likes drawing comics, with color of course, while my cousin likes playing around with coding and making little games. He didn't know much about colorblindness (he thought it meant a small amount of people see black and white only) or keeping things accessible in mind until I taught him about it. I showed him that using the colors red and green alone, for example, to make a distinction isn't a good idea and what it looks like on a colorblindness simulator. I've subscribed and hope to see more content!

[@Chromaphobe]

Colorblindness simulators are the best way to spread the word! Thank you kindly!

I’m colorblind but I do also happen to go to a chiropractor every once in a while. I do not believe in any way that chiropractics can cure any disease, however, it can legitimately help you with back pain or getting through a painful pregnancy and things like that. And I also want to say that even that won’t “get rid” of back pain or anything, but it can temporarily get rid of it until you step wrong or bend something wrong etc and have to go back. I also won’t deny that it could very well be possible that fake chiropractors exist, but my whole family can vouch that our genetic back problems can be made bearable by the one we’ve always gone to 🤷 But yeah uh don’t try to cure a disease with it lol

[@SuppaflyZSM]

Bates is an interesting character for sure, just the limited bit from the wikipedia article will raise some eyebrows.

[@Chromaphobe]

You are not kidding. I wanna make a movie on the guy, something like "Road to Perdition" meets "the Knick".

Any other theories on what the "Advanced Training" could be? www.artificialeyeco.com/color-blindness-kit/treat-cb-in-40-days

@@Chromaphobe how can I cheat in pilot exam class 1 and class 2 Please suggest me?

[@stamblock]

The top 2 were so funny... How can anyone even believe to stuff like this?

[@Chromaphobe]

18 year old me would not have been able to empathize with people who believe in these things, but then you see people you consider reasonable get into Reiki, Qanon, FlatEarth and you start to see the mechanisms behind it and understand why people fall for these "scams". None of us are immune to BS.
