I know a lot about #chiropractic and think the true believers in that community far outnumber scammers. I know a little about #naturopathy, and given how they often have to source their treatments, I have difficulty imagining how they couldn't be aware of the potential harm they do to their patients. But #acupuncture, I just don‘t know if they mostly know they do nothing of value, or if they’re mostly true believers.

Angela Rasmussen, an avian flu virologist at the University of Saskatchewan, reviewed journalists' findings and dismissed claims the farm was engaged in any groundbreaking research. "I think calling it scientific work is quite generous. I call it a scam."

האם ידעתם שתסמונת מטבולית (סינדרום X) קשורה ישירות לעלייה של פי 5 בסיכון לסוכרת מסוג 2? הנה מה שאתם צריכים לדעת.
תסמונת מטבולית היא לא מחלה אחת, אלא צבר של גורמי סיכון: השמנה בטנית, יתר לחץ דם, ופרופיל שומנים לא מאוזן. המכנה המשותף לכולם? תנגודת לאינסולין.
מחקר ב-PubMed מדגיש: "התערבות באורח החיים יעילה יותר מתרופות במניעת הידרדרות לסוכרת בקרב קבוצות סיכון" (Ref: PMID: 11832527).#Health #Science #Metabolism #Insulin #Naturopathy #KobiEzra #MastodonIsrael

The Extracellular Matrix in Health and Disease: Naturopathic Approaches to Improve Structure and Function by Fraser Smith, 2025
This book connects naturopathic medicine modalities with restoring extracellular matrix function. It begins with an overview of the regulatory functions of the extracellular matrix. At one time, this area in between cells was considered support material, now it is understood that the life of the cell is dependent upon its function.

So as I said in the video, I fell off my bike the other week. Whoops. But this ended up being a really interesting rabbit hole to go down, learning some cool facts about how honey is being used to treat wounds, burns, and chronic irritation.
A few cool facts that didn’t make it into the video:
- “Honey has been used in wound care for thousands of years, with records of its use in Ancient Egyptian times documented on the Edwin Smith papyrus between 2600 and 2000 BCE” (Moses, 2023)
- Honey includes flavonoids, which is what makes the color/pigmentation in flowers and fruits. Flavonoids aren’t broken down by our digestive system, they’re broken down by our gut microbiome into antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents. That doesn’t help with topical wound care, per se, but it is neat!
- The viscosity of honey helps just plain cover the wound to keep bacteria from getting in and protect it from dehydration
Transcript
Did you know there’s such a thing as medical grade honey?
Hi! I’m Ben and I recently competed in the “Ride a Bike Really Well” competition and… I lost. But, when I got home, I had recently moved, so I didn’t have any Neosporin or anything to clean out my wound. But that’s when I realized that I do have honey! And honey is antibacterial!
You may already know that honey is antibacterial, but do you know why? Honey is so oversaturated with sugar that when it’s exposed to water, the water wants to get into the honey to help even out that concentration. That’s osmosis! And that’s a problem for bacteria, because these are single celled organisms filled with water. So, if the bacteria gets into the honey all the water gets SCHLOOPED out and it dies!
In terms of wound care, that osmosis can also draw out fluid from the skin to help flush out dead skin and other debris. But, medical grade honey has been shown to do even more when applied with dressings and bandages, reducing healing time by up to 30% or 15 days! Manuka honey, often sold on the brand MediHoney, also has a compound called methylglyoxyl, which acts as an antibiotic.
And that makes this the naturally derived product to be approved by the FDA for use in wound care!
Follow for more cool science!

When Rakus, an orangutan at the Suaq Project in Medan, Indonesia, had a nasty wound below his right eye, the animal knew exactly what to do. Scientists observed Rakus pluck and chew up leaves of a medicinal plant, then use his fingers to apply it to the injured area. Within a month, the wound had closed. The Associated Press has more on the orangutan with an apparent sense for natural remedies. https://flip.it/rDVICV

#Bloodletting is a formerly widespread medical treatment. It is famous as one of the most common treatments of prescientific humoristic medicine, which postulated that disease was caused by imbalance of the body's humors: black bile, yellow bile, blood, and phlegm. If a person had a disease which indicated too much blood, bloodletting was used to correct the problem. Bloodletting was even thought to be a cure for anaemia.
Bloodletting has a long, venerable history of use in traditional and pre-scientific medicine as a panacea of sorts, and patients liked it so much, they had to be convinced not to be bled. As such, it should come as no surprise that general-purpose bloodletting is still used in alternative medicine as part of #Unani, #Ayurveda, and traditional Chinese medicine. One naturopathic textbook lists all three of these systems as being acceptable bases for naturopathic practice.

Let's try this #introduction thing here.
👋 Hi, I am rokku, a 39+ old human in the #autistic and #adhd spectrum. As a person I behave as a INTJ-T or 5w6. I don't use gender for me but I know there are a lot of them #agender #nonbinary. If you are talking to me, use no pronouns or if it's to complex use xe/xem/xyr.
I am #sysadmin for life and #polyglot #developer for 20+ years. I love #selfhosting things. I work in the #hosting business. I was formerly #selfemployed and plan to do so again.
I do #debian servers and #arch for my workstation. All other distros are bad, especially #ubuntu (yes i know its from debian but with ugly things in it)
My beloved languages are #perl, #raku and #nim. But I do much more of them like #cpp, #java, #python and what not. Currently, as an old grumpy human, I try to learn #nodejs (we didn't have that as I started in the internet)
I like #old #school things, how we did it in the past. I did not stay behind, but new things must proof themself.
My #vocation is #it and all the stuff around it. But I have also interests in #naturopathy and #esoterics.
Not enough, I am a #metroidvana #nerd and #gamer starting with an Super NES console long time ago. I like the #xbox more than a #playstation. I prefer games like #blasphemous, #warframe, #newworld, #doom and much more as I even could write here.
In my spare time (what sparetime?) I try to do things with #3d #printing and searching for new interesting activities.
