    What’s more quackademic medicine than Harvard’s acupuncture course? Maybe Duke’s reflexology course! https://respectfulinsolence.com/2018/02/23/whats-more-quackademic-medicine-than-harvards-acupuncture-course-maybe-dukes-reflexology-course/ …pic.twitter.com/Y5yEc5XdPl

        You can take classes on curanderismo at my university, or go to the “integrative medicine” unit at our medical campus. So I really can’t throw stones. Or can I just throw stones at all of them?

        A few months back I was given a voucher for massage at a wellness centre. With my doc's OK, I went along & I found it included a reflexology treatment. 😳 (1/2)

        It turned out to be was an industrial strength foot rub & at a normal cost of $140 a session it would be cheaper - and possibly more beneficial - to buy a bottle of Veuve & put your feet in a wringer. (2/2)

        If you've got bunions do they have to massage your pituitary?

        Perhaps these two fields of medicine or pseudo-medicine shouldn't be lumped in one category.

        Why not? They're both based on vitalistic nonsense. Neither of them has anything other than nonspecific effects. Reflexology these days even invokes meridians! No, they are definitely two crappy quackeries that taste crappy together.

        I'd be interested in Harvard's acupuncture course. So many people I know say it's helped reduce their pain. Maybe it works in ways doctors don't understand.

        It doesn't. It's theatrical placebo. http://www.dcscience.net/2013/05/30/acupuncture-is-a-theatrical-placebo-the-end-of-a-myth/ …
