Unveiling the Mysteries of Light "Folk Medicine».
Most people feel comfortable and demanding consumers who are not so easy to deceive. However, judging by the fact that recently reappeared on the fashion treatment at various "healers", "psychics" and "healers" in matters of pseudoscience and alternative medicine, many still surprisingly credulous. Fortunately, methods and non-academic rhetoric supporters of medical science for centuries virtually unchanged, so that the difference between quackery from this medicine is quite easy. Here are some basic will "magicians" of pseudoscience.
1. "The Secret Knowledge»
One of the main features of the false doctor - claims of secret knowledge. If the "miracle healer" declares that praprababka witch gave him the secret recipe of ointments, which allows 15 minutes to cope with the most advanced stage of cancer, it is not necessary to spend on it time and money. Nowadays, any "secret medical knowledge" can not exist in principle - there are many medical sites, hundreds of magazines are published, so that any more or less important information received by one of the doctors immediately become the property of the general public. < br />
2. "global conspiracy»
Confidence in the existence of a "global conspiracy", which will be the largest medical institutions and companies in the world is also very typical of the "psychics", "healers" and sellers of various dietary supplements. Of course, such conspiracy theories are far from reality - professional ethics does not allow doctors to hide from each other information that could save someone's life. Pharmaceutical corporations tend to try to trick the production and development of medicines did not get to their competitors, but in this sector of the market involved are so many companies, government officials and scientists that they could hardly make a common agreement.
3. Flattery
To distinguish offenders from a doctor can be the manner of communication - at least once to seek assistance from "non-traditional experts" must have noticed that they always try to please the client, to make it clear that they considered him a smart, shrewd and careful. Businesses often do not try to make a good impression - their task is to provide the necessary assistance to the patient and accurate formation of his condition, not flattery to win his trust.
4. The "evil toxins»
Artificially hysteria about the dangers that are beneficial to the human body toxins supporters of nonconventional methods of treatment of all. If you believe the various TV programs and Internet publications, the shelves are filled with incredibly harmful goods, which is almost entirely made up of deadly toxins that can be neutralized only patented miracle drug with four-digit price tag. The problem is that the "toxins" - general name for all biological poisons, however in different special cases of intoxication require different types of medical care.
5. "The Theory of misunderstood genius»
The pseudo-medicine widely used all sorts of ideas "gurus" who have been rejected by the medical community. Proponents of these theories are ready foaming at the mouth to prove his innocence, claiming that their knowledge of the future will be orthodox truism but academic medicine is not ready for such methods. However, the history of science shows that revolutionary ideas almost never arise spontaneously - scientists for years and organize various information and in some cases they do become a full-fledged scientific knowledge.
In other words, no matter how tempting the idea was that Isaac Newton half-life of just doing that slept under the trees, and then his head dropped the apple, leaving the scientist became the founder of modern physics - it is nothing more than a legend. The discovery of the law of gravity - not blind chance or luck, and the fruit of many years of work of the great Briton.
6. "New methods»
To win the trust of customers, fraudsters like to dwell on the various "innovative practices" and "miracle methods" that appeared just yesterday, but already "showed excellent results", while the more frequent "healer" says sophisticated and exotic terms, the greater respect for it is imbued with the patient.
Many of the "healers" and "Sage" is well aware of the latest trends in traditional medicine, which allows them to freely rant for example, epigenetics and human microbiome, but the confidence to say this pseudo-healer, the more you should be cause for concern . Most of the practitioners are very skeptical about revolutionary innovations and neither appoint a professional patient "experimental treatment" without warning of possible risks and side effects. If the "specialist" convinces you one hundred percent efficiency of the method and the absence of any contraindications, it means that the only purpose - not to help, and empty your wallet.
