I just don't know how they were so wrong and get so confident about it? Like they really just made it up, huh? I've gotta do some research.

Sadly, there are a lot of people who do the exact same thing today

Look at some of the batshit COVID cures that people came up with, for example

There are actually people who believe this to this day, there are some old mines in Montana where people go and get themselves irradiated. [https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2013/11/inside-a-radioactive-health-mine/281265/]

I watch all kinds of radiation/nuclear related documentaries on YouTube and stuff and it's always ao crazy to think that these people were putting this stuff into their bodies thinking it waa good for them. Now that we know just how BAD it really is, never ceases to make me cringe.

It's also crazy to think about the fact that there are Chinese companies selling products packed with thorium and other radioactive materials in them as "Wellness" products on Amazon.

The whole alternative medicine market is creepy, but things like this that are actively and obviously harmful just blow my mind
