It seems that the quackery is universal

How I hate people who believe they know about something and correct as if they were the owner of the truth, making the mistake of ignoring the very true sources that he is refuting, what a shame

Today a patient told me that she was treated for Lyme disease with UV light though an IV. 

IV UV light. Light through an IV. For Lyme disease. I had to forcibly prevent my jaw from hitting the floor. 

I feel bad for her because clearly she is searching for something, some way to feel better, and she is being abused by the snake oil salesmen. She also brought a printout of toxins in her urine from some company.

President Donald Trump vigorously defended his administration's handling of the coronavirus on Tuesday, but it was a series of questions from CNN's Kaitlan Collins about Dr. Stella Immanuel, a little-known Houston-based physician featured in a video the President retweeted, that caused him to abruptly end his press briefing.

Trump said. "And I thought her voice was an important voice, but I know nothing about her."

Quakery was a mistake.

The New York State attorney general’s office accused four national retailers on Monday of selling dietary supplements that were fraudulent and in many cases contaminated with unlisted ingredients. The authorities said they had run tests on popular store brands of herbal supplements at the retailers — Walmart, Walgreens, Target and GNC — which showed that roughly four out of five of the products contained none of the herbs listed on their labels. In many cases, the authorities said, the supplements contained little more than cheap fillers like rice and house plants, or substances that could be hazardous to people with food allergies.

@ackdoc: @DrOz. Which disease kills more people? Ebola or Mercola? #OzsInbox

When he decided to do #OzsInbox, Dr. Oz definitely didn't realize that everyone who knows he's a quack was going to tell him just how much they can't stand him. This tweet from @ackdoc (Greg Hinson) is my favorite.
