A reality TV series starring Dr Charlie Teo has been shortlisted for Australia’s biggest quackery award for allegedly spruiking an acupressure remedy using repeated finger-tapping for the treatment of stress and anxiety.
The show Medicine or Myth? involves ordinary people presenting home remedies to a medical panel, which then determines whether the idea should be subject to a trial.
