Analysis / Bias
In review, iHealthtube is a Youtube channel and website that primarily publishes alternative medicine pseudoscience and a moderate amount of conspiracies. iHealthtube promotes miracle natural cures for cancer, anti-vaccination propaganda, and a fair amount of big pharma and GMO conspiracies.
They appear to have stopped publishing in 2021, but the website remains online.
