Problem

Jackie was diagnosed with epilepsy a few years ago, and has been taking anticonvulsant medication prescribed by her physician, Dr. Langstrom, to prevent seizures. Jackie doesn't like taking this medication because it makes her feel tired and clumsy. Her cousin, Liam, recently introduced her to his neighbor, Carl, who manufactures and sells electrified headbands to people with epilepsy. Carl tells Jackie that epileptic seizures are caused by misfiring neurons in the brain, and claims that his headbands prevent seizures from occurring by creating a mild electronic field that prevents neural misfires. Jackie calls Dr. Langstrom to discuss using a headband, but he explains that it is unlikely to offer any benefit. Which person in this scenario is the quack?
