Analysis / Bias

In review, LifeSpa promotes debunked medical practices such as Leech Therapy and anti-vaccination propaganda. While most information on this website is legitimate, safe, and somewhat backed by science, there are several examples of LifeSpa promoting Pseudoscience.

Failed Fact Checks

Overall, this is a natural health, quackery level Pseudoscience website for the promotion of anti-vaccination propaganda. (D. Van Zandt 1/14/2018) Updated (11/27/2019)
