      The podcast also minimizes the harms of alt-med. It makes it seem like alt med is just people spending a few extra bucks on silly waters and bracelets. I, and the data, disagree. 8.https://www.cancer.gov/news-events/cancer-currents-blog/2017/alternative-medicine-cancer-survival …

      I treat MS (a disease that lends itself to quackery) and all the time, see poor people spend money they don't have to buy magic beans in place of medicines that will help them. Here is an email I received. I don't see the daily, but it's not that rare either.pic.twitter.com/cbLDcyyAS6

      Of course, several kids were admitted to the ICU at my hospital this summer during a large measles outbreak. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/09/nyregion/measles-vaccination-williamsburg.html … 11.pic.twitter.com/3TxYNmWskw

      Dr. P himself has certainly amplified pseudoscience messages no one would have seen for virtue signaling. Overscreening is a problem, but no mainstream group suggests full body screening. This page has 214 followers. Is this a 10-foot hoop? 12. https://twitter.com/VPrasadMDMPH/status/1186349091174772740 …

      When I asked him about this, he said that the post he retweet had "massive RTs." I guess we have different definitions of "massive." It currently has 50 RTs, most likely many after his own RT. 13.pic.twitter.com/wzKgWzQVAs

      And notice how he ends that last tweet. He thinks that people argue strenuously against with only "when criticism is on pt." He devoted 30 minutes of his podcast to this. Can I conclude he knows the "skeptics" are right? No, that's silly and immature. 14.pic.twitter.com/gkXU8K8vZe

      That speaks to another reasonable point Dr. P made: people are unlikely to change their minds when their critics are snarky and nasty. Yet, this is how Dr. P has continuously behaved to almost 100% of his critics. He perfect models the behavior he opposes on his podcast. 15.pic.twitter.com/WMCAeU6rbo

      I'll end where I started. There are reasonable (if unoriginal) points he is making. Dr. P does valuable and original work. His book should be read by every medical student. I look forward to his next book. I hope he reads these tweets in the spirit I sent them. end.pic.twitter.com/aEzDoo5VHA

      Last thought: It's wrong to assume that a doc's Twitter feed = all of their work. Many who opposes woo on Twitter may be working quietly offline to change a flawed hospital policy. Maybe he should ask about other peoples' work before assuming Twitter = 100% of their work.

      Indeed. For several years I was involved in a statewide quality improvement effort designed to decrease the use of modalities not supported by evidence and unmodified adherence to evidence-based guidelines. I daresay that was probably harder than dunking on pharma.

          Well, I just Tweeted about it now; so obviously it must have happened.😏
