It's probably not a good idea to get your science out of newspapers and it's definately not a good idea to get your science out of Huffpost.
While I really hope they're right on this one Huffpost has been a tireless promoter of various sorts of quackery and so called alternative medicine (if it worked it would be called medicine, right).
Let's see who we've got, looks like a roster of the usual suspects.
Deepak Chopra promoting distant healing, which presumably enables him to relieve you of full-wallet syndrome without leaving home.
We have Jenny McCarthy still promoting her autism nonsense long after Wakefield's study has been thoroughly discredited.
We have Kim Evans claiming that antibiotics promote cancer and claiming that funus is a type of cancer.
And then there's any amount of chiropractic and homeopathic nonsense.
It would please me no end to discover they were right for a change, but I shan't be holding my breath.
