      Another unbelievable anti-science & pro-unproven healthcare piece by @ThomasMulcair https://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/mulcair-supreme-courts-naturopath-ruling-has-broader-lessons …. cc @pbenedetti Reality: - SCC decision did NOT sanction naturopathy/CAM. - In this age of misinformation & health bunk, we need regulators to step up, not away.

      Breaking down @ThomasMulcair's advocacy for alt medicine. 1) Studies: people more uncertain/confused about health info & misinformation having adverse impact (WHO, 2019) 2) Many studies on CAM (most show no better than placebo) 3) Public interest = good info, avoidance of harm?pic.twitter.com/FyMuOkzN7x

      Replying to @CaulfieldTim @ThomasMulcair and

      “Cannot be fully explained be science”? Tom fantasizing about possible mechanisms of action of CAM is irrelevant. Science shows there is no _outcome_ effect. That’s all the science explanation you need.

      Replying to @auscandoc @ThomasMulcair and

      Agree. So much wrong with this comment by Mulcair! 1) For many CAM therapies there has been lots of research that demos a lack of efficacy (so there is no benefit that needs to be explained); 2) Is he embracing a health system based on supernatural forces? #Sigh.

      Replying to @CaulfieldTim @auscandoc and

      Correct. CAM advocates assume that their favorite woo works and construct their research based on that assumption, rather than demonstrating efficacy above and beyond placebo FIRST, and then considering how it might work.

          Or they redefine the placebo effect as "mind over matter" and claim victory when their intervention "works as well as a placebo".

          Well, yes, that's the fallback position when study after study fails to find effects greater than placebo effects.
