Hey all! I thought I'd post this here, IDK if anyone is interested.... but it is a video I just made making fun of Gwyneth Paltrow and her stupid 'medicine' peddled by goop... I didn't know if this would be a good place to put it, but I thought it would fit. Hope you enjoy!

Not really a medical professional yet, about to get my CVA, but I know the basics.

Aunt has breast cancer, pretty bad. Golf ball sized lumps in both breasts. She elects to have a double mastectomy. They do the tissue fillers and stuff and after she comes home she has to take off work due to fever and pain in her left breast. She goes to her oncologist, but the oncologist refuses to see her cause he’s too busy so she sees the NP. The NP examines her and looks at her and says “I think you have mastitis”

The author is crazy and reccommeds that individual listen to his diet, ignore what science tells us and possibly stop taking meds.

I went to my doctor to ask for an Autism assessment and her words to me where 'The NHS do not do assessments for that... A university will have to do it' which is complete bollocks. She also said, and I quote, "You look normal" like, how the fuck am I supposed to look?

The NICE guidelines have how an assessment works in it woman! Seriously!

She's got this..."concoction" containing water, salt, and moldy cabbage. She is telling people to drink a gallon of it a day, and she's ACTUALLY convincing people that it's healthy for them. Not just healthy, she's claimed it can grow back limbs, cure cancer, EVEN turn you straight if you're LGBT!! Epperly has a cult-like following, is under investigation by the Ohio Attorney General, and has a Dr. Phil episode filmed and should be out soon. People have DIED on her so-called protocol. I'm surprised there's next to nothing on Reddit about this.

When you see a "science discovery" or post, that if true, would be an automatic Nobel Prize?

r/CollectYourNobelPrize is just that. Lax rules, shoddy moderation, plenty of shame for those whose articles you post.

ADHD was inveted by american pharmaceutical companies to sell Ritalin.

The amount of people who use adhd as an excuse for their bad parenting is unreal.

Childhood behavior transformed in a way to make money for big pharma.

Funny how this disorder is almost never diagnosed outside of the US, but more than 1 in 10 American kids have it. Perhaps you should examine the relationship of medical practitioners and pharmaceutical companies a little more closely.

Ever noticed, that the further you get away from Western culture, the less cases of ADHD you get, until there are practically none ? You want to know what I think caused kids to start getting ADHD ? Taking away the leather belt and wooden spoon. That, and Dr Phil and the pharmaceutical industry. Just dope your kids up to the eyeballs with psychoactive drugs they give axe wielding maniacs in mental institutions for the criminally insane, and go watch Dr Phil for some advice on parenting. ADHD is a load of bullshit.

ADHD isn't real

Whenever someone describes to me the symptoms they experience as a result of ADHD all I can think is, "oh you mean normalcy?"

I really don't understand how ADHD is a 'disorder'. If a kid is hyper or just disorganized, how is that a mental problem? Sounds like that's just who they are. Nothing wrong with it. Is this just an excuse to take some pills?

I've never in my life seen or heard about a girl with ADHD. Is this just a coincidence or is ADHD less common among woman?

What a total load of bullshit. Nothing more than a scam to get our children hooked on legal amphetamine. It's interesting that ADHD started to be diagnosed in droves about the same time diet pills with amphetamine, which were insanely popular, became illegal in the 1970s.

Explanation:

ADHD is very real independent of any problems of diagnosis or public perception associated with it. Most of the stuff presented here lacks the sort of evidence that psychologists and neuroscientists have gathered in studied on the condition and the ways it manifests, is outright conspiracy theory, or reliant entirely upon personal prejudices or anecdotal evidence that doesn't belong in any serious discussion on the condition.

This comes up in /r/badpsychology a lot, so I'm not sure how much more explanation it requires.
