Quite literal. The Chlorine Dioxide Solution scam came to me through a podologist a year or so ago. What makes this outstanding to me, it’s they succeeded at having some academic backup, though, completely out of context. It’s an absolute rabbit hole, you are warned.
As interesting as it is crazy. My experience was completely unsolicited. The podologist, a health professional, out of the blue, started talking about this miraculous solution and showed it to me: looked like antifreeze liquid. Discarded the comment, the pandemic topic was still fresh and a go-to conversation, so she went back to the CD as a treatment for COVID-19. I was skepticly interested by then, threw a couple of questions and she started talking about its supposedly scientific evidence. Then she used the word “protocols”, as if it was the most serious matter to her.
She already had my number so, asked politely if she could send me some documents and evidence of the treatment and its protocols. I told her yes, sure, let’s see what’s all about. After treating my infected nail, a couple of hours later, a new WhatsApp conversation with lots of documents and videos appeared in my inbox. I was baffled, so angry too, fucking quacks deceiving desperate people suffering from all kinds of illnesses, just for the money and attention.
Dietary advice based on the food pyramid/MyPlate. Before the late '70s, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, and mental illnesses were all rare in the general population.
We need to be eating fewer carbohydrates, not basing our diets around them. We need to be getting most of our calories from fat, not demonising it.
Thankfully, we have people like Dr. Ken Berry, Dr. Chris Palmer, Dr. Anthony Chaffee, Dr. Georgia Ede, Dr. Shawn Baker, Dr. Paul Mason, Dr. Tony Hampton, Dr. Jason Fung, and others spreading this message.
Saturated fats are bad. Unsaturated fats are better for you most fats should come from mono and polyunsaturated fats. Carbs are quick energy broken down into sugars, but raw sugars are bad for blood sugar, and gut bacteria diversity. There needs to be a relative balance of protein, carbs, and fats. Blood sugar shouldn’t go up and down in spikes. It should flow like slight rolling hills. Increase the diversity in diets for wide/diverse gut microbiome are super important not probiotic supplements but from actual food sources. Vitamins and minerals should be balanced in foods and drinks, almost all added sugars and salts should be cutout of consumption.
I mean isn’t it obviously homoeopathy and a significant part of the rest of alternative medicine (not all of it I guess). It is a billion euro business in Germany alone.
Alternative medicine is afaik medicine that is not part of traditional academic medical education. This is at least who it would be defined in German. Not sure if it is the same in English. We actually have specific words for that: “Schulmedizin” means academicly accepted medicine.
So yes, it would also be medicine. But different than e.g. ibuprofen or radiotherapy.
But tbh, I cannot think of an example. So maybe there is none? Don’t know, I am personally not that interested in alternative medicine.
Sure, VPNs are marketed as a security measure, but for most people, the security benefits of VPNs are negligible. VPNs can be useful for hiding your browsing activity from your ISP or for appearing to be in a different country in order to access streaming services, but VPN companies make a lot of misleading claims about the security benefits of their products. For example, some VPN companies claim that their products use “military-grade encryption,” but this is just a marketing term and most websites already use encryption.
If you want orange flavored water, squeeze an orange in your water, damn it! You don’t need a subscription service for some chemicals that taste like orange
Order some CBD gummies, almost every company has samples if you pay shipping… don’t get the ones that have anything but CBD though if you want to understand my perspective. If it has delta 8 or delta 9 or THC a or whatever else that’s no the products I’m speaking on. A lot of companies will push it as a cure all
Who said the companies that I was referring to aren’t regulated WATERBOY? CBD sucks, delta 9 is better…IT QUENCHES THE THIRST!!! CBDDDD SUCKS, CBDDDD SUCKS, CBDDDD SUCKS
EV certs used to make the address bar green, so there was a tangible benefit to them. These days, they look exactly the same. It proves that the ownership has been verified, but if no users even see that, does it even matter?
