The Medical Medium has millions of followers on social media. He claims he can help cure your chronic illness with home remedies like celery juice.

But he doesn’t have any medical qualifications. Instead, he claims he gets his medical information from communicating with spirits.

We explore the booming celery juice trend and meet the doctor who is trying to start a counter-movement to get qualified medical professionals to use social media more effectively.
