Saubones is a show about medical history, and nothing the hosts say should be taken as medical advice or opinion.

It's for fun. Can't you just have fun for an hour and not try to diagnose your mystery boil?

We think you've earned it. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy a moment of distraction from that weird growth.

You're worth it.

Alright, Tommy is about to books. One, two, one, two, three, four.

We came across a pharmacy with a toy and that's lost it out. We were shot through the broken glass and had ourselves a look around.

The medicines, the medicines, the escalant macaw for the mouth.

Hello everybody and welcome to Saubones, a mayor and a two-year-old Miss Gidebettus and I'm your co-host Justin McElroy.

And I'm Sydney McElroy.

You said you were very confident about this. You were like, I'll get us into it. Step back out of the way.

Let me do it. Let me podcast. We're back. We had to take a week off. We're sorry about that. But we're back.

I'm not sorry. I am. I hate any week we can't. It's a holiday.

But I am excited to get into the story. Not. I mean, that sounds weird. Like it's not a good one. But it's a big story. And I just want to get into it.

Okay. Well, there was a topic that was suggested to us by several people, Jay and John and Heather. And I looked into it because I thought that can't be right.

Surely this can't be happening still. But it's an old story. It's oldest time really. The story of fake medicines that is current today.

And Justin, I want to start off by asking you what is vitamin B17?

Ah, yes. One of the most important bees that we have. Obviously the highest B vitamin. There is full of explosive power.

If you if you saw it on a shelf, yeah, I bet that's big. I bet it's big pills. What it will be my guess.

Well, but you wouldn't necessarily think there was anything wrong. Right. If you heard vitamin B17 as a as a non medical person, it would not occur to you.

That that is odd. Correct. This feels like a trap. But I'm going to grant you that no, I wouldn't know. Right. And like if a doctor said you should take more B vitamins and then didn't say anything else.

And then you saw a B17. You might think, well, maybe that's something. Yes. It is extremely confusing. Right. Okay.

So we're going to talk about vitamin B17 and how it's not a vitamin. Oh, at all. That is, you know, it's funny about that is the name feels like almost like a misnomer to me as a result.
