The area of "traditional medicine" seems so enturbulated.
Differing cultural paradigms of reality, a continuum stretching from 'consumer goods and services' through 'health supplements' to 'commercialised medicine' to 'current standard medicine'.
And with #ScienceBasedMedicine competing with #EvidenceBasedMedicine (EBM sounded so good until 'Masks don't work' & the Cass Report).
They're trying to make sure it doesn't wear a mask or use gender support medicine?

Bonjour,
Je suis statisticienne (santé, recherche clinique, épidémiologie) et très intéressée par tout ce qui y touche. #EvidenceBasedMedicine
J'aime les belles images (n'oubliez pas le Alt Text !) et je tente de conserver un fil de pouets à peu près serein malgré la période actuelle.
We've seen what #EBM #EvidenceBasedMedicine produces;
on #Masking with #TomJefferson assisted by #Cochrane,
the decades of infectious respiratory disease research that poo-hooed #AirborneTransmission, and,
the RWNJ #CassReport on care for transgender kids.
Lots of bad stuff resulting from fetishising #RandomControlledTrials #RCTs as the only research that can be relied on.
Will we hear from Trumpists that there's no RCTs that support action on #ClimateChange?
Looking back, telling women to avoid HRT because it causes breast cancer may have been the biggest error in modern medicine.

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.
Hormone therapy is primarily used to treat those cancers, which are influenced by certain hormones.

"What’s the role of nutrition for both preventing and beating COVID-19? Nutrition-related myths on protection and treatment have been widely prevalent in this pandemic, and while there is no diet that completely prevents infection, there are certainly dietary steps we can take to minimize risk."

All those false positives ("indidentalomas") from full body #MRI will get expensive workups, follow up studies that will be paid by the rest of us via higher insurance premiums and taxes.
Get some data first please.

It's just a pity that our international buddies from the #EvidenceBasedMedicine medicine and #HealthTechnologyAssessment scene haven't shown up here yet.
I liked the takedown of evidence pyramid at https://sensiblemed.substack.com/p/the-evidence-pyramid-should-be-dismantled by Mike Putnam (AFAIK not on Mastodon).
Although @statsepi has IMHO already the best succint representation:
#introduction Hi, I am a medical doctor from Germany, doing my residency in #InternalMedicine and I also have graduated from #LSHTM with an MSc in #publicHealth. I am also a #writer and love #poetry. I am interested in #nutritionalHealth, #EvidenceBasedMedicine, #PlantBasedDiet, #sports, #MentalHealth, #ClimateAndHealth. I am looking forward to many interesting discussions!
After 15 years, what's the status of @sciencebasedmed? What's the difference between SBM and EBM? #sciencebasedmedicine #evidencebasedmedicine #SBM #EBM https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/15-years-of-sbm/
Time for an #introduction, #MedMastodon! I am a family and community physician at the Federal University of Espírito Santo, , working in the #PrimaryCare internship. Among other activities, I serve as peer reviewer and associate editor in specialty journals. I have a PhD in #epidemiology and am certified in scientific publications. I am interested in #EvidenceBasedMedicine, #QuantMethods, and good practices in both researching and editing.
