[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Probably, but I’m sick of the woo crap, too. No, Becky, my rheumatoid arthritis will not be cured by whatever nonsense some Insta grifter is selling. [/quote]

I mean ... yeah ... "cleansing and lubricating your joints" by drinking boiled water with a "proprietary mix of supplements" that costs $500 an ounce sold by your fave Influencer won't cure your rheumatoid arthritis. That much is obvious to anyone who has two wits to rub together. But what is less obvious is that much of the prescription drugs pushed on us won't cure us, or even help much either -- and with many of them the side effects outweigh the benefits, a problem the doctors refuse to recognize because the drug reps/reported studies done only short term convince them otherwise. Psych meds are a case in point; most aren't much better than placebo and the side effects can be life-destroying. Lots and lots of money to be made there.

I work with med students and encourage them to do research while they are in school, because it's hard to consume research well if you haven't done it. And there is a lot of money to be made in presenting studies in a misleading light. Hell ... look at what the Sacklers did, convincing virtually the entire medical establishment that Oxy wasn't addictive despite all evidence to the contrary. [/quote]
