Goop deserve all the criticism that's been flying their way but to only concentrate on them is to miss the reason snake oil wellness peddlers like goop and charlatans like chiropractors are doing so well. The modern medical system is failing a lot of people.

I'm not suggesting for a moment that those highlighting the pseudoscience and danger of goop are wasting their time especially ahead of Netflix's disappointing decision to air 'The Goop Lab', which will spread goop's BS yet further. I believe we should challenge bad science wherever we see it. I am just providing a slightly wider picture to explain why alternative medicine continues to enjoy success despite so many wonderful advances in actual medicine.

I'm a practicing doctor and like almost all my colleagues, there are many aspects of modern medicine that frustrate me. This channel deals with a lot of them. I believe we need to spend as much time turning a spotlight on the medical system as we do on the quacks and wellness gurus.
