https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/aug/31/fda-official-youtube-videos?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other ““It’s really important to remember [#Prasad’s] past words in order to gauge his current and future credibility, and that was the mission of my YouTube channel, to record what these doctors [Prasad and others] said,” Howard said.
Although the videos Howard collected were often only viewed “dozens” of times, Howard included them in his online articles that appeared on the #ScienceBasedMedicine blog. Now those video links are dead. (1/2)

Apple Cider Vinegar | Science-Based Medicine by Steven Novella
I just watched the new Netflix series, Apple Cider Vinegar, which tells the story of Belle Gibson, an Australian woman who launched a wellness business based largely on the false claim that she had survived “terminal brain cancer”. It is worth a watch, and overall I feel the writers (this is a fictionalized version, not a documentary) captured the industry of fake cancer cures and their victims very well. I have some quibbles, which I will get to, but in the end the telling serves the viewer well.
The series focuses mainly on three young women, including Gibson and two fictional characters facing serious cancer diagnoses. Together they represent different aspects of the wellness industry, and specifically the industry of dubious cancer treatments. David Gorski actually captured this spectrum quite well in his article, True believers, entrepreneurs, and scammers in alternative medicine. All are represented in this show.

#ZDoggMD on #RFKJr.’s Rise: “I’m Talking About Like These #ScienceBasedMedicine Guys” https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/notourfault/ “No one faulted Dr. Damania for “talking to someone like a Vinay #Prasad.” I’d be happy to talk to Dr. Prasad about his pandemic pronouncements. Instead we faulted Dr. #Damania for praising, legitimizing, and amplifying someone like a Vinay Prasad. In contrast, we at #SBM accurately informed our readers that Dr. Prasad spread copious misinformation and repeatedly gushed over RFK Jr.”

#WeWantThemInfected Doctors Sanewashed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Will He Reward Them With Appointments at the #CDC, #FDA, and #NIH? | #RFKJ #ScienceBasedMedicine https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/notadrill/ “Donald J. Trump plans to name his former rival, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Tulsi Gabbard, a one-time Democrat, as honorary co-chairs of a presidential transition team that will help him select the policies and personnel of any second Trump administration, according to a campaign senior adviser.
That’s terrifying.”

Maybe related;
I've found multiple groupings around #Homeopathy.#EvidenceBasedMedicine says (perhaps) "We need large RandomControlledTrails to determine it's efficacy".
#ScienceBasedMedicine want to reject it's use as it's claimed mechanism is entirely fanciful.
#Skeptics follow #SBM .
#Clinicians (some) see (some) good outcomes and don't care if they're #PlaceboEffect #Placebo or not.
#PleasedUsers get results they want.
#DisappointedUsers try but aren't satisfied. -

There are academics / scientists who distinguish between #EBM #EvidenceBasedMedicine and #SBM #ScienceBasedMedicine.EBM seems to fetishise #RandomControlledTrails #RCTs as the #GoldStandard and has given us at least the #Cochrane review on #Masking by #TomJefferson.
And, I think, also the #CassReport into medical care for young transgender people. Here AIUI over relevant 700 studies were rejected on the basis that they weren't RCTs leaving 2 RTCs considered.

@mattotcha
As a #familyphysician , I'd love to try an #AI assistant to help look up information on diagnosis and management. Searching #uptodate #dynamed and #pubmed is very limited and too time consuming for some cases.
Searching on #clinicalkey or #tufts university's library is horribly ineffective most of the time

All those false positives ("indidentalomas") from full body #MRI will get expensive workups and then follow up studies that will be paid by the rest of us via higher insurance premiums and taxes.
Get some data first please. Failing that, add a special tax on these to cover the extra workups upfront instead of socializing their false positive costs to everyone.
