The entire Wellness industry is a bunch of vampires preying on people's suffering or self-image issues, and they offer snake oil that does nothing but fill their pockets.

Claiming your #FirstAmendment rights are being violated is a sure way to have the spotlight shone on you. It's also an effective way to shut down criticism of whatever you're selling. From the 1940s-60s, #supplements manufacturers used the #freespeech gambit to keep regulators away from their products, resulting in a 1969 #SupremeCourt case.

This Mayo Clinic article sums it up well about why people believe #pseudoscience. They aren't unintelligent, maybe just out of hope they can find relief.

"It's frustrating to have persistent symptoms your doctor can't readily explain. But accepting a medically unrecognized diagnosis from an unqualified practitioner may leave the real cause — such as depression or fibromyalgia — undiagnosed, while it continues to take its toll."

I looked into Dr. Amy Myers and #adrenalfatigue...😭😭 Bc i was curious when i heard people take this supplement. She was featured on Goop, lol. 🚩 And her specialty is apparently #pseudoscience/ fake diseases.🚩

To be clear, i believe symptoms are real, but this isn't causing them❤

I'm gonna info dump here bc i think i may be considered a debbie downer for being such a critic of the #wellness industry in this group I'm in. I posted a caution on #supplements, but i feel going hard on and dropping all these links on them just will not be well received or listened to. I know logically it's too much, but part of my brain wants to be helpful and comprehensive. But i know i am often "too much." I will beat that dead horse.

While global action is needed to protect Antarctica and the Southern Ocean, there’s a lot individuals can do, too. One of the biggest drivers of the krill fishing industry are omega-3 #supplements. But consumers have other options besides krill, including marine #algae.

I'm collecting old #library #books - unintentionally. But each one is kind of fun and interesting.

I think this one must've been referenced in a podcast or another book I read (Vitamania) about #supplements. Published in 2006🤔. Reading it anyway. I always want to balance out the religious fervor around fads with some sort of science or fact. Not all popular things are bad, but I usually have a lot of questions.
