Joseph Mercola – a leading figure in the anti-vax movement and one of the wealthiest and most prolific alternative medicine proponents in the world – derived some of his health advice via a ‘channelled’ spirit named Bahlon, according to new footage released by the Office for Science and Society at McGill University.

During the channelling sessions – videos of which Mercola shared to other staff members within his organisation – Mercola claims to use knowledge from Bahlon, alongside insights generated by ChatGPT, to derive some of his health advice. Mercola also claims in the sessions to be regularly self-administering carbon dioxide enemas, claiming they feed his microbiome and create a forcefield to protect him from the alleged dangers of electromagnetic frequencies like 5G. Bizarrely, he attests to giving similar CO2 treatments to his pet dog, to whom he alleges he has fed samples of Mercola’s own blood.
