RE: Promises, Poppycock and Placebo: Pseudoscience in Action!

in #science9 years ago

Great post, good points, well explained. It's easy to get pulled into pseudoscientific thinking. While there are articles which indicate that gold can be used in tandem with other medications to increase their efficacy (in those cases the appropriate dose would already be included in the medication!!), in general this sort of colloidal gold is a bunch of nonsense. I am sure people that take it do see some positive effects, the placebo effect is very very real.

Sort:  

When I mentioned colloidal gold before, didn't you say that " I am not a physician so I do not feel qualified to directly state an opinion one way or another on it " :D

Probably that sounds like me.
