Alright guys, I have a thing I need a bit of help with. My mother is quite alternative-medicine oriented but still fully trusts normal medicine and is not antivaxxer tier or alternative.
She, however, is very naïve and trusts what her equally oriented (and frankly dumb) friends tell her. And that's how she got to Bioresonance. For those who don't know what it is, it is a machine based on a technique made up in 1977 which says that you can find what's wrong with your body based off your electro-magnetic waves. This includes everything from a flu to parasites, replaced joints and cancer. My mom fully trusts anecdotal evidence from the woman that "treats" her.
Anyway, they put you through a health questionnaire at the start (which I am 100% sure is the source for their diagnoses, apart from things they can tell from behavior and looks), she then sets up the machine and you're sat down with headphones on your ears playing sounds of different pitches with your hand on a metal plate. During this 20-minute or so "thorough checkup" you're shown different anatomical pictures with pointless spots on them. These spots change color based on "severity" of problems (pic related). Then they "prescribe" you different things, in this case herbal extracts in alcohol which are very expensive (they also tell you to not leave them near electrical devices as they would weaken the effect lmao).
>Now to the point of this post
My mom has challenged me to prove her anecdotal evidence wrong. What do you think I should do to prove it? I am very aware of my health issues but almost none of them are visible. I was thinking of just straight up telling the person that I seriously don't believe and want a full checkup procedure without any questions.
I also have a suspicion that these people share medical data based on names or phone numbers and such and have a database to make the thing more believable. Also, I have been told (again, by my mother) that many doctors own it apparently.
