Fend Off Disease By Watching TV

Tue, Sep 18, 2007

Hoaxes

Who needs the healing powers of monavie, noni juice or xango?

Why bother with expensive ‘health’ drinks, a doctor’s diagnosis or even medicine, when there is a much more convenient and altogether lazy way of curing your illnesses?

According to usmansworld.com, scientists have discovered that watching television is a great way of curing all sorts of different types of ailments. They believe the key to healing is through stimulation of the brain.

TV vs Disease

Apparently, researcher Alan Greene, the brains behind the study said, “Using the right combination of TV shows, one can stimulate the brain enough to fight off the disease.”

Alex of usmansworld goes on to say that the treatment is known as either ‘TFT’ or ‘TV for treatment’ and is a medical breakthrough. He also claims that 90% of those receiving the TV treatment reported feeling better after watching television.

Tom Greene, CEO of Greene Medical Co who are behind the program suggests that the treatment already covers common ailments such as the previously incurable cold, and will be developed to tackle more severe health issues, such as cancer, in the future.

Of course, such claims are a joke, but then that is the point - Usmansworld.com is a site that makes me chuckle with it’s twisted news reporting :D
