Griffin advertises the dubious [[CAM]] methods without proof of efficacy [[Krebiozen]] and [[Amygdalin]]. In 1988 he believed to have found the Arche Noah using Radar near the Ararat, which endeared him to [[Creationism|Creationists]]. However, after repeating the measurement later, nothing was found.<ref>Collins, Lorence D., and Fasold, David (1996). "Bogus 'Noah's Ark' from Turkey Exposed as a Common Geologic Structure".

Griffin advertises dubious [[alternative medicine]] therapies like [[Krebiozen]] and [[Amygdalin]] without proof of efficacy and thought in 1988 that he had found Noah's Ark using radar near the Ararat, a belief that called [[Creationism|creationists]] to action. However, a later repetition of the measurement, could not find the alleged Ark.<ref>Collins, Lorence D., and Fasold, David (1996).

Griffin believes that voting machines are used to manipulate elections and tries to have them replaced with ballots.

Griffin believes that elections in countries with electronic voting machines are manipulated and campaigned for its abolition and in favour of voting by ballot. Griffin is a supporter of unconventional cancer therapies and the „Cancer Cure Foundation“. The medical layman Griffin supported in pseudoscientific disinformation texts the ineffective use of Amygdalin (called vitamine B17 by him) in particular to treat cancer. His website links to suppliers of this in Germany unapproved agent. According to Griffin cancer is caused by a lack of Amygdalin. He claims this agent is ''suppressed'', which could be traced back to the financial activities of John D. Rockefeller. Certain worldwide active high ranking persons would interfere with medical science and are supposed to be responsible for the negative test results regarding Amygdalin to this day. An article in ''American Journal of Public Health'' refuted this as conspiracy theory and a corresponding book with the title "A world without cancer" was slammed, where Griffin just reported anecdotal miracle healings without referring to verifiable facts.
