here, naturopathic madness elevated to a quite false position of triply-science-vetted. Same old epistemic charity and flawed fact checking:
001. at parkinsonsnewstoday.com, in "Loneliness Linked to Worse Parkinson’s Symptoms, Study Finds", Marisa Wexler writes [2020 archived]:
"by Bastyr University, in Washington, which focuses on science-based natural medicine [...]";
so, that categorical science claim: science subset naturopathy, which is Bastyr's marketing label. The first vetting claim: academic science. Yet if that were true, then why is there such nonsense at Bastyr? Like homeopathy falsely posed as "science-based". And that great self-description that defies all logic, the "vitalistic context of science-based naturopathic medicine." That is the science-ejected overarching premise and claim that defines naturopathy. Madness.
"Marisa began working with BioNews in 2018, and has written about science and health for SelfHacked and the Genetics Society of America [...]";
so, again, an assurance. The second vetting. Yet you can go to some place as pedestrian as Wikipedia and find naturopathy on their list of pseudosciences. Yet, the article offers only an absurd label.
and we're further falsely assured, in the third vetting: "fact checked by Ana de Barros, PhD [a managing editor...who] holds a PhD in immunology from the University of Lisbon [...] she graduated with a BSc in Genetics from the University of Newcastle and received a Masters in Biomolecular Archaeology from the University of Manchester, England. After leaving the lab to pursue a career in Science Communication, she served as the Director of Science Communication at iMM."
great job folks. When is science communication bogus? Naturopathy... And so easy to check.
