Dr. Wilner would love your feedback! Click here to send a text! Thanks!

Many thanks to Matt Holgotz-Hetling for joining me on this episode of The Art of Medicine with Dr. Andrew Wilner! Matt is a journalist and author of "If it Sounds Like a Quack…" His prior book, "A Libertarian Walks into a Bear," received 4.5 stars on Amazon and more than 1,000 reviews.

 

During COVID, Matt took an interest in two conflicting forces he observed in American society. On the one hand, public health officials were trying to protect the public by recommending masks and closing schools. On the other hand, many independent-minded Americans insisted on making their own decisions, often eschewing masks and social distancing. 

 

Matt was intrigued by fringe practitioners offering cures for COVID, which included baking soda, bleach, lasers, and leeches. Many alternative medicine practitioners had faith in their "One True Cure." Of course, it was difficult to eliminate greed and exploitation as supporting motivations.

 

Matt and I had an in-depth conversation for nearly an hour! It was a treat to speak with such an informed and thoughtful author.

 

Matt's newest book, "The Ghost Lab," should be available shortly. You can find all of Matt's books on Amazon.
