those who do not care about their health? All caress the dream of living a long and healthy. However, this should not make us climb on mirrors and make us easy prey for unnecessary care. “Let lulled by the promise of a panacea against all evil is the wet dream of anyone who is struggling with an illness, but also to anyone who follows the myth of beauty at all costs or eternal youth. But when it comes to health we need to keep our eyes open, because it is too precious a commodity to sell it in the hands of improvised healers who sell illusions and false hopes, in good faith, and sometimes of despair. “
supports Salvo Di Grazia . It is gynecologist to the Civil Hospital of Vittorio Veneto, but his work as a doctor is not limited to surgery: in fact, when not wearing a white coat, tries to unmask the bad medicine “and those pseudocure secret and not try that, as evidenced by the Stamina case, infiltrate even in public hospitals. “
Five years ago he started doing the “attending physician on the web,” explaining how it works Blog MedBunker medical research and how to unmask the charlatans of health. And now he does so with the book “ Health and Lies,” edited by Chiarelettere . Page after page, it suggests to readers how to protect themselves from unnecessary drugs and bogus treatments, highlighting the difference between the researchers, those who work hard for years and with passion to deliver truly effective and safe therapies, and the pied pipers who are capitalizing on the suffering of the people .
But what is bad medicine from where it is best to steer clear?
“It’s the one that deceives, deception, promises to cure without proof, without experiencing any beneficial effect nor not to be dangerous. Unfortunately every 15-20 years came out of nowhere a misunderstood genius, who announced that he had discovered the cure for the ills of the most incurable. And you can not dismiss it by saying “whoever you want me to believe.” In the 50′s the vet Liborio Bonifacio has convinced a large part of the Italian public to have the remedy against cancer. The items on the effectiveness of his serum became so pressing that the Ministry of Health was forced by popular will to design an experiment official: the outcome was negative. But this is just one example of state resources costs without reason, broken promises, broken hopes. At the end of the 90′s Luigi Di Bella to deceive Italy could cure cancer, thanks to the media who have made a sounding board to his alleged treatment, which has been officially denied its power “.
And then you get to David Vannoni …
“Proof that we can not learn from past mistakes. We believe a lot more colorful and noisy advertising rather than the long search. Not to mention that before you set up a machine such as the mammoth official experimentation at the expense of the community, there should be at least one good enough to be considered worthy of interest a practice “medical” not consolidated. And the one proposed by Vannoni is a “cure media” that has not proven to cure anyone, and no one even knows the composition. Alas, however, to go against some “alternative scientists”, if someone denies them scream in the plot: that’s how they explain, when someone puts their trust, distrust of the scientific world. “
blossom flower of scientists, those who do research seriously, who share with the rest of the scientific community the results of their work, have made their voices heard to expose any inconsistencies in the case Stamina. But it demonstrates the lack of scientific as proposed by Vannoni does not seem to be enough to deter those who are ill from putting their own lives and their own account in the hands of those who sell them hope.“The problem is that, on the one hand, there are too many sellers of dreams that profit from the desperation of the people and, secondly, not all citizens have the tools to accurately differentiate the medicine that was created with the method, checked and tested from that improvvista, which turns away from confrontation and inspections. Do not ever think “that bad do you want me to do, better than nothing,” because the alternative medicines to make it hurt a lot. Should then from the school to develop the critical sense and the ability to discern the deception plausible. Having said that, scientists should be given the credit for having exposed the unreliability of Stamina Foundation, but not always to face the problem of how to communicate effectively, in particular with the patient community, and to understand that scientific research is their ally and that only supporting researchers, serious ones, you will get to new treatments. “
addition to alternative treatments that make impossible promises, she warns us also by pharmaceutical marketing.
“In fact, the advertising propina a pill for everything. So before you buy a product for health ask ourselves if we really need or if we are abboccando to an advertising message. For example, the idea that taking a pill can change our lives has become the supplement market a very profitable business, which lightens our pockets without giving us any benefit. “
And then there is the terrorism of health, for example the one that accuses vaccines cause autism.“It’s a hoax now widely refuted. Even Andrew Wakefield, the British doctor who once claimed to have discovered this correlation, admitted to being the author of a colossal fraud. Yet even today there are those who believe, even among doctors that vaccines cause autism or other diseases. In fact, vaccines are one of the most ingenious inventions of mankind, protect us from dangerous or life-threatening diseases, compared with little or no side effects, and there is only one study demonstrating their toxicity. “
We can say then that greater scientific knowledge is, in this case, yes, a remedy for everything?“Of course, no culture, we risk living in a society dominated by superstitions and false beliefs and not be able to protect ourselves from the bad neither medicine nor the bad information.”
