Neti Pots
Sunday, January 13th, 2008I had no idea what a Neti Pot was until I listened to the latest Skeptics Guide to the Universe podcast this afternoon. Turns out, it’s pretty disturbing. The gentleman mentioned in the Oprah piece is Dr. Mehmet Oz, who is now, according to Wikipedia, the Chief Wellness Officer at the Cleveland Clinic. Which is somewhat disturbing, as an earlier blog entry by Dr. Steven Novella in Neurologica indicates.
At the very least, I recommend checking out the podcast linked above, as it’s a fairly passive thing so you can take it in while you eat your breakfast or what have you and Dr. Novella gives a physicians take on the whole Neti Pot phenomenon, as well as some new magnet therapy studies if you’re in it for the medical information.
