Alternative Medicine SCAMS! Watch out for BLANKET recommendations!

article image placeholderUploaded by @MedicalSecrets
This is Dr. Kabe, your physician, anesthesiologist and integrative medicine specialist. Today. I wanted to talk about the alternative medicine scamming world and how, unfortunately, there is so much misinformation that reaches patients and really does a disservice service to them. They just don't think it's fair

Direct to consumer advertising is rarely justified - from both conventional and alternative camps alike! If you see BLANKET recommendations, beware!

Blood type testing

Do blood type testing for nutrition, and then the results actually say that you need this, this and this and this what's your thought about that? I know there's science behind it, but to the extreme that it's happening now. I'm just wondering what recommendations you can give people when they get the blood type for food testing, blood type for supplement testing. I love your voice on here, by the way

Yikes - expensive tests with questionable results!

I think some of them may or may not have monetary interest in such testing. I'm sure others don't necessarily have it. But my perspective is that we have very effective ways of testing for food allergies that do not require any extensive testing and give the right answer, because at the end of the day, if a patient feels better not eating a food that is good enough for me, I don't care what the blood test says
