Having met a few nut jobs who are all about pseudoscience like homeopathy, crystal healing, and other forms of ‘natural alternative medicines’, this is exactly the type of shit I would expect them to say with a straight face.

Satire needs to be exaggerated to the point it is clear no one would actually say something so outlandish and the point of it is to be making a mockery of a specific set of beliefs. This misses those marks.
