These fads are not likely to actually harm you, unless they delay you in seeking appropriate treatment for a serious medical condition; and they will not make you a danger to others, whereas anti-vaccination could turn you and your family into modern-day Typhoid Marys.

The idea that sitting in a draft is terribly dangerous has been with us for a long time (and may have had slightly more validity in the days before central heating).
