The pseudoscience of Virology is basically just a scam. #drtomcowan #tomcowan #Pseudoscience #realquestion #virology

Your annual reminder that #alkaline diets are #pseudoscience. Nothing you eat will change the pH of your blood.

🧵THREAD: The future of our planet is at stake. Misleading information is all over the media. I am raising my voice based on my understanding from Michael Crichton's "State of Fear." In his book, he sheds light on the hazards of politicizing science. It's more topical than ever.

@Stanford @CarnegieFdn @RockefellerFdn @Harvard @Yale @Princeton @JohnsHopkins @theNASciences @AmerMedicalAssn @NResearchCoun 9/ The research, legislation, and moulding of public opinion surrounding the theory went on for almost 50 years. Those who opposed the theory were called reactionary, blind to reality, or just plain ignorant. But in hindsight, what is surprising is that so few people objected.

@Stanford @CarnegieFdn @RockefellerFdn @Harvard @Yale @Princeton @JohnsHopkins @theNASciences @AmerMedicalAssn @NResearchCoun 10/ Today, we know that this famous theory that gained so much support was actually #pseudoscience. The crisis it claimed was nonexistent. And the actions taken in the name of this theory were morally and criminally wrong. Tragically, it resulted in the loss of millions of lives.

Good scientists understand that mainstream #science is a form of #pseudoscience. Science creates useful models of reality & is good for creating technology, gadgets & drugs.The real #reality is the consciousness in which models are created. We need uograde to #holistic science.

The most prominent feature of #pseudoscience is that it STARTS with the CONCLUSION & then works backwards from there, rather than open-mindedly & fairly going forward from the evidence wherever it may lead. #Science #ScienceClaims #UnderstandingScience #SciComm #ScienceMatters

The most popular theories of consciousness in science are now being attacked by scientists themselves. Vedanta and Indian seers solved the so-called hard problem of consciousness thousands of years ago. #pseudoscience #panpsychism #consciousness #nonduality #advaita

Hey @WIRED, how about interviewing neuroscientists who are actually studying the brains of people with #LongCovid? I'm available, and so are many others in the field. "When the brain gets stuck in a feedback loop of fight or flight" What does that even mean? #Pseudoscience

Becca Kennedy, the former lead of a multistate long Covid specialty group, has a controversial theory. She believes long Covid belongs to a family of chronic conditions that occur when the brain gets stuck in a feedback loop of fight or flight.

Two ads for "magnetized abdominal belts" - from 1901 (left) and present day (right), claiming to "vitalize" and reduce pain. Science evolves, always adapting to new evidence. But #pseudoscience remains resistant to evidence, even after 120 years. Bunk is bunk.

To restore integrity in the scientific community, we must use evidence based science to counter #pseudoscience like phrenology, homeopathy, cryptozoology, lockdowns, parapsychology, race biology and denial of natural immunity.

Combatting #pseudoscience is a real challenge because no one likes to be told their beliefs and preconceived notions are "incorrect".

Here's one of the best (highest-quality) studies on #cupping therapy. Relative to sham, it shows no effect of cupping on pain, physical function, perceived overall effect, quality of life, psychological symptoms, or medication use. #pseudoscience 🔓

'Interest in pseudoscience has grown every year. It doesn’t have to be true. It just has to be attractive... These are people who are doing no critical thinking.' -James Randi (1928-2020), interviewed by Paul Halpern, 'The Pursuit of Destiny' (2000). #JamesRandi #pseudoscience

I didn’t even receive this and it is causing me pain. #pseudoscience #facepalm (I’m quoted briefly but it doesn’t include my second comment, “crystal healing = nope”)

क्या ये सच में काम करता है?😳 हैलो मेरे #Ophthalmologist दोस्तों थोड़ा सा मार्गदर्शन करे।🙏 #Pseudoscience

1/: About 70% of the immune system is housed in the gut. And yet, both our digestive and immune systems were largely ignored during the 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘮𝘪𝘤. In this 𝗧𝗛𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗗, I will briefly tell you things the government won’t tell you.

23/: 𝗩𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻 𝗗 Vitamin D is an immunoregulatory hormone. Make sure your blood serum levels are sufficient (i.e. >40 ng/mL). My levels are about 80 ng/mL. I consider it optimal. Haven't been ill since then. Thank me later.

24/: I am strongly convinced of this approach, even though pharma shills will accuse me of #quackery and #pseudoscience for writing this thread. In my opinion, 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 is real science. Everything else is "making money" and "being biased". Thx for reading this thread! 🙏🏻

Are those stem cells or cells from the plant stem?! #pseudoscience
