There are many other examples of academic medical centers embracing quackery. For example, @TJUHospital, which this year went full quack by announcing a department of integrative medicine. 15/https://respectfulinsolence.com/2019/02/27/thomas-jefferson-university-goes-quack/ …

While I'm healthy, I will advocate, rationally & peacefully. But I swear if I ever get cancer & someone offers me reiki or other BS, I will threaten to beat them with my IV pole. If I've got <6 months to live, I'm going to do the world a favor & take some of them with me as I go.

Thank you. At some point in my life I was into woo. Not to dangerous levels, but it was definitely affecting my life. Though it took me a few years to get out of it, your RI blog - and the commenters on it - was The Thing that started to break the chokehold. So thank you!!!

Very much agree, and have only one positive thing to say about woo. If woo is used in a complimentary way to increase the adoption and adherence of medical treatment, then I am fine with that. E.g at one VA facility, they have a clinic in which Veterans select activities /2

This might be drumming, Tai Chi, aroma-therapy, pottery, etc. In many cases, these activities practiced in a mental safe space, and overseen by VA nursing staff, are effective in getting the Veterans in a frame of mind in which they were more likely to adhere to care plans /3

You ever consider that perhaps your perspectives on non-western medical approaches are wrong, if not ignorant?
