Here are just a few of my favorites:

8. Make sure you claim that you have discovered a "secret" that every other scientist in the history of the world has missed. If you're feeling especially daring, claim to have discovered a new law of nature that has scared the scientific community into trying to silence you.

10. Never forget that most people trust celebrities more than they trust scientists, physicians, or government agencies. Use this knowledge to your advantage.

19. Most people are impressed by titles and uniforms, so buy a doctoral degree from a diploma mill and a lab coat. There are hundreds of diploma mills and some of them offer impressive sounding letters to place after your name for a reasonable price. You can steal a lab coat from your local hospital.

20. When proven wrong in a public demonstration of your claims, never admit defeat. Claim the study was biased, done by biased people with an agenda, or that there was one minor problem that you are going to fix as soon as more investors pour money into your pocket.
