Title: BBE/IE: Gwyneth Paltrow

No, You Should Not Put Jade Eggs in Your Vagina Because Gwyneth Paltrow Tells You To (http://gizmodo.com/no-you-should-not-put-jade-eggs-in-your-vagina-because-1791390211)

Gwyneth Paltrow believes that women can receive magical powers by sticking jade eggs up their hoo-hahs.

It's your typical celebrity-endorsed New Age woo.

I--I've got nothing.

Wasn't she one of those who got behind that bleach-enemas-can-cure-autism crap?

Not that I can find.  You'd expect (ir)RationalWiki would mention it if she did.  (If you can learn how to filter it, there is useful information in there.)

She does support enemas in general, crystal healing, sound healing, aromatherapy, acupuncture, vaginal steaming (apparently that's a thing), apitherapy (getting stung by bees on purpose to treat things because reasons), and a whole range of other nonsene, but I can't find any reference to anything that sounds like MMS on her web site or any apparent references to her on MMS web sites.

Oh, and she does talk about autism on her web site, but looks like she wants to treat it with other woo.

Ah, it must be the vaginal steaming I was thinking about.

That sounds like a painfully slow and ugly way to kill yourself. Mom told me stories of people she knew who drank bleach to kill themselves without leaving an external mark.

Anyways: no, evensgrey is right: no news about that. I do know he has a habit of giving the kind of advice that seems best designed to destroy a woman's ability to have a healthy vagina.

I remember that.  Because of Buzzfeed.  Needless to say, I don't watch their videos that much these days.

Although the fact Buzzfeed promoted that fiction piece about Trump in the last few days hasn't stopped the MSM from referring to them as a credible source.  You'd think after trolling THEMSELVES with a 4chan comedy file their 'studies' wouldn't be bothered with any more, but...
