    David Gorski, MD, PhD Retweeted Dr. Badfairy, a Pretty Good Fairy

    Thankfully, I don't see this all that often in my own practice. When I see it, as in the woman with a fungating, ulcerated breast cancer that started small but was treated by one of the local naturopaths, it's heart breaking.https://twitter.com/otorhinosaur/status/1185109771525017603 …

    Reviewing tumor board sheets for patients getting upstaged after deferring treatment in favor of "natural methods" is well and truly heartbreaking 😔

        The American Medical Practice has failed millions of Americans. So now many are willing to try ridiculous treatments. It is the dr's fault for not providing adequate Medical Care! But doctors are only cogs in our capitalist medical system causing improper treatment and research

        Psilocybin mushrooms cured my cluster headaches, cannabis is the most effective pain treatment I've had dealing with a 20 year long chronic illness. Our laws, the design of the schedule, the available treatments, the ongoing education is all designed with profit as the motive

        Urgh... It is gut wrenching to watch people die under the “care” of alternative medicine. Lost a friend that way. We fell out over my objections. She was 38 years old when she died.

        Unfortunately too many people think "natural" means safe and better. In reality, their treatments have not been proven to be effective or safe. Some of our deadliest toxins are "natural."

        My 1st oncology clinic as a med student: mid30s woman with 2 kids had declined standard care for "natural" came back with black, hard breast and metastases. Heartbreaking.
