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 also supports the refuted [[Hunza]] myth, that these Pakistani mountain people do not suffer from cancer, have according to him a higher life expectancy than North Americans and that some of these people live up to 120 years.<ref>Griffin E: Eine Welt ohne Krebs, Kopp Verlag, Seite 73</ref>

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''<ref>[http://www.ajph.org/cgi/reprint/66/7/696-a.pdf Review: World without cancer]</ref> was slammed, where Griffin just reported anecdotal miracle healings without referring to verifiable facts.
