Hardly anything infuriates me more than pseudoscience. Especially the kind that rapes vulnerable, gullible and often desperate people of their money.
So far I have spent four years of my short life studying my ass off so I can help people in the future with actual science. Every day I see people falling for this shit, even professing to me that I don't understand the workings of things like homeopathy and chiropractics. The reason I don't understand the workings of these things is simply because they do not work. Da dun

Dude i think you're too young, relax a little and keep yourself within your studies and preferences

That's and interesting way to use the word rape.

I think a lot of people do not understand the difference between homeopathy and holistic medicine, and explains some of the offense incurred

Also, as a vet student, I understand your frustration all too well.

This is equally as closed minded as the biased opinions of pseudoscience buffs. There's a balance to be had.
lezbro
That's the type of thing I expect to hear from someone who this post is talking about.

I do believe in preventative measures that don't rely on drugs, if that's what you mean. But Im also becoming a Paramedic, think as you will
krugle
I agree, except for chiropractic treatment.
lezbro
Expecting to get downvoted for including chiropractics.
krugle
If I may why include it? It is actually science.

A good friend of mine started seeing a chiropractor. He asked the guy to please show him some peer reviewed, published work that can help1/2

No, it's massage at best. The claims made for chiropracty are nonsense and don't stand up to ACTUAL scientific testing.
krugle
So misaligned bones don't cause pain and don't cause damage?
lezbro
Him understand how it works. The guy avoided it and in the end said to him that he simply couldn't. I'll stand by it when it is evidenced
krugle
That makes him a bad chiropractor, just as there are bad doctors. My ex had 1 bone at the base of her spine rotated she couldn't function.
krugle
More than a dozen doctors 100 spent on prescriptions tests and x-rays nothing helped. 1 visit to a chiropractor she was fixed.
