Another #DIPG victim whose parents were lured by the quackery of @019Clinica. When will Mexico shut these quacks down? More importantly, when will newspapers like @MailOnline stop describing this quackery as a "pioneering treatment"?https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6374493/Fathers-agony-daughter-10-rare-cancer-dies-six-years-pregnant-wife.html …

The doctors at
@019Clinica are not "pioneering researchers" in#DIPG. They are peddling an unproven, invasive, and potentially dangerous treatment for this dreaded disease in children. 3/https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/clinica-0-19-false-hope-in-monterrey-for-brain-cancer-patients/ …Show this thread -
When you look closely at the
#DIPG treatment being offered at@019Clinica in Monterrey, it quickly becomes apparent that there's no "there" there. 4/https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/clinica-0-19-false-hope-in-monterrey-for-brain-cancer-patients-part-2/ …Show this thread -
Basically, the
#DIPG treatment offered at@019Clinica in Monterrey is false hope, not real hope, for#DIPG patients and families. 5/https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/clinica-0-19-false-hope-in-monterrey-for-brain-cancer-patients-part-3-of-3/ …Show this thread -
Indeed, if you look at the
#DIPG "patient series" published by@019Clinica reporting its results, you'll see that there's no real evidence that its treatment is any better than existing treatments, which are admittedly grossly inadequate. 6/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2018/09/11/idoi-not-making-dipg-history-in-monterrey-part-4 …Show this thread -
No wonder the quacks at
@019Clinica presented their results at a relatively obscure meeting in Mexico so that its abstract wasn't published until a long time after their presentation! No wonder they refuse to let#DIPG experts help them design and execute clinical trials. 7/Show this thread -
It is promotion of
#DIPG and other cancer quackery by tabloids like@MailOnline and@DailyMirror as "pioneering treatment" that leads to families bankrupting themselves and resorting to crowdfunding to pay for quackery. 8/https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/crowdfunding-the-fuel-for-cancer-quackery/ …Show this thread -
Basically, tabloids like
@MailOnline and@DailyMirror and all the other media outlets that credulously promote stories of quackery involving#DIPG and other cancers have blood on their hands. 9/9Show this thread
