29.04.2025 07:56 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 1To be clear, this is a new product that Novavax is trying to introduce to the market with a study of a different product from 2021. New products require new clinical studies. Under this administration, we are prioritizing the Gold Standard of Science--not what saves pharma companies "tens of millions of dollars." Headline: "FDA Asks Vaccine Maker to Complete New Clinical Trial for Delayed Covid-19 shot"
Again, they're trying to take away our vaccines.
From the head of the FDA, a gross misrepresentation of the annual process of updating a proven vaccine to target new disease strains.
His plan would make it impossible to get seasonal flu and Covid shots, and of course he knows this.
#ChiropracticAwarenessWeek day 1. If you remember nothing else from this week, remember this: chiropractors are not doctors. Here is an example of the very serious harm that can be caused when people are misled into believing they are: complementaryandalternative.wordpress.com/2019/11/19/u...
28.04.2025 13:08 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 1Actually, #homeopathy is a complete failure and that's due to the ideas behind it not the practitioner: thebftonline.com/2025/04/20/h... It may have seemed sensible in the late 18th century but we now KNOW that the ideas behind homeopathy are absurd in the extreme

Have a read of this: thinkingispower.com/will-you-sti...
#homeopathy is a fake treatment, the principles of which conflict with many aspects of science. It is therefore absurd to create a new "Clinical Research Unit (CRU) for Homoeopathy". Even worse, they are proposing this nonsense for cancer, asthma & others: www.google.com/amp/s/timeso...

06.01.2025 07:42 β π 7 π 3 π¬ 0 π 0To conclude, osteopathy remains deeply entrenched in pseudoscientific approaches and treatment modalities. Misleading claims that go far beyond the expertise of osteopaths are worryingly common. Put this in the same box as #chiropractic: best avoided!
05.01.2025 16:32 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Finally we have the treatment approaches. Cranial and visceral osteopathy are both made up nonsense. Claiming to "treat" the organs, presumably through visceral osteopathy, is also completely absurd.
05.01.2025 16:32 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Then there's the claimed benefits. These are essentially all false claims with no good evidence to support them. Claims about improving immune system, circulation, blood pressure are particularly concerning as these are serious issues that there is no way osteopathy could treat
05.01.2025 16:31 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Firstly, there's the pseudoscientific marketing claims like gentle, holistic, treating the root cause, natural, etc. These are meaningless but are widely used to promote many alternative therapies
05.01.2025 16:31 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0#osteopathy is one of those treatment approaches that can look legitimate but once you dig deeper it's clear that it's rooted in pseudoscience and misleading claims.

29.12.2024 18:42 β π 143 π 17 π¬ 15 π 1This is just a small subset of the many misleading claims from osteopaths. It's worth noting that this includes misleading claims from osteopathic institutions as well as individual osteopaths. Unfortunately, belief in pseudoscience like cranial is widespread in osteopathy
29.12.2024 09:00 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Amongst the most frequent misleading claims are those relating to the treatment of babies. This often involves the nonsense that is cranial osteopathy. There is no situation in which it is appropriate to take a baby to an osteopath
29.12.2024 08:59 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0UK osteopaths also think they can treat #asthma. This is a potential risk to any patients who choose this completely inappropriate treatment option: complementaryandalternative.wordpress.com/2019/02/11/u...
29.12.2024 08:58 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0A small subset of the many misleading claims made by osteopaths. For starters, some osteopaths think they can treat #autism. Yes, really: complementaryandalternative.wordpress.com/2021/10/11/u... This is ridiculous and it's appalling that osteopaths are exploiting this vulnerable patient group
29.12.2024 08:56 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0#osteopathy is really 2 separate professions. Osteopaths (DOs) in the US are actual doctors just like MDs and most of them use little or no osteopathy. Osteopaths in most other countries are alternative therapists similar to chiropractors. Misleading claims are common π§΅
