      This is how believers in quackery dismiss skeptical analyses of their quackery. In this case, the treatment is the Paddison program for rheumatoid arthritis, pharma shill gambit and the "just some guy/blogger" gambit. Of course, I am a surgeon and cancer researcher. 1/https://twitter.com/HollyGo55/status/1151469044161220609 …

      Saw that. Just because some guy writes an article on something he doesn't believe in, never having tried it, means nothing. I suspect a drug company paid the guy to write it. Thousands off the meds....big pharma loses money. This article appears..... connect the dots.

      Here's the post to which I referred. Clearly, @HollyGo55 never bothered to read it. Certainly she can't point out any substantive errors of fact or interpretation in it. 2/

      If we're going to harp on qualifications, I also can't help but note that the Paddison program was dreamt up by an Australian comedian. There's no real biological plausiblity, and no good scientific or clinical trial evidence that it works. 3/3

      And @HollyGo55 admits that she can't find a single error of fact, science, and/or interpretation in my post criticizing the Paddison Program as quackery. No surprise there. 3a/3https://twitter.com/HollyGo55/status/1151474546073112576 …

      Am not wasting my time. You don't need peer reviewed data to prove something works. I say it works. I tried it. Thousands of people say it works. Prove to me that it doesn't .... because you can't.

      David Gorski, MD, PhD Retweeted Holly Golightly

      And...predictably @hollygo55 circles back to the pharma shill gambit when forced to admit that she doesn't know what she's talking about and can't provide any evidence to back up her praise of the Paddison program. 🤦‍♂️ 3b/3https://twitter.com/HollyGo55/status/1151473391796391936 …

      My own experience and thousands of others versus one man who has never even tried it. How much did the drug companies pay you to write the article?

          My evidence is that I have severe RA. My evidence is I did the programme. My evidence is I am drug free for 5 years because of it. My rheumatologist said it's not possible yet here I am drug free. Prove it doesn't work... you cannot! Thousands are like me....
