Almost 50% push their bunk on kids with cancer, including homeopathy. Need reg action! Exploitive quackery.

2/2. The sales pitch is well known. Hits all the right notes. Marketing is excellent. Uses fear and lack of critical thinking to close the sale. I will be working on some interesting directions in this space in upcoming year. If interested contact my office.

Sales pitch IS well known. Pharma and the healthcare system have had excellent marketing for years, using fear and lack of critical thinking to create a pill-popping pill-for-every-ill society. How do we learn from Integrative Medicine and turn the ship around?

The lesson I think is to be skeptical of anyone making a sales pitch. My main focus is on the validity of the peer reviewed medical literature. Recognizing COI and bias introduced by pharm industry is part of that critical review process.

1- Citation to the article is this, not the previous one cited published. Gorsky simply used it to make a negative pitch against naturopathic medicine, nothing new there.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31566009

2 - The point of the research was to determine the scope of therapies used/considered by NDs who see children with cancer. This is a review of the state of practice. The only thing horrifying here is the lack of attention paid to what's actually been written in the paper.

The state of the practice is that it is a scam.
