Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It can be dangerous to navigate the world of health advice in the information age we live in, where truth and fiction frequently blend together. There are many different types of medical myths, ranging from anecdotal stories passed down through the generations to viral misinformation propagated through social media platforms. These myths can have serious effects on both public health and individual health. Fundamentally, medical myths are theories or methods that have either been refuted by thorough research or have not been supported by science. These myths endure despite their disbelief and have the power to affect people's actions, choices, and even medical interventions. Medical myths may be the result of intentional disinformation, cultural traditions, or misconceptions. Either way, they can seriously endanger people's health and jeopardize public health initiatives. One of the most widespread misconceptions is the idea that "natural remedies are always safe." Although natural products have advantages, assuming their safety without conducting adequate research can have negative consequences. Another dangerous myth that is often spread is the idea that "you don't need vaccinations if you're healthy." Vaccinations are crucial for protecting vulnerable populations and preventing infectious diseases.

Download or read book Hype written by Nina Shapiro and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Publisher's Weekly Best Book of 2018 A straightforward appraisal of why health myths exist, dispelling many of them, and teaching readers how to navigate the labyrinth of health advice and the science and misinformation behind it. Hype is Dr. Nina Shapiro's engaging and informative look at the real science behind our most common beliefs and assumptions in the health sphere. There is a lot of misinformation thrown around these days, especially online. Headlines tell us to do this, not that—all in the name of living longer, better, thinner, younger. Dr. Shapiro wants to distinguish between the falsehoods and the evidence-backed truth. In her work at Harvard and UCLA, with more than twenty years of experience in both clinical and academic medicine, she helps patients make important health decisions every day. She's bringing those lessons to life here with a blend of personal storytelling and science to discuss her dramatic new definition of “a healthy life.” Hype covers everything from exercise to supplements, alternative medicine to vaccines, and medical testing to media coverage. Shapiro tackles popular misconceptions such as toxic sugar and the importance of drinking eight glasses of water a day. She provides simple solutions anyone can implement, such as drinking 2% milk instead of fat free and using SPF 30 sunscreen instead of SPF 100. This book is as much for single individuals in the prime of their lives as it is for parents with young children and the elderly. Never has there been a greater need for this reassuring, and scientifically backed reality check.

He doesn't find anything wrong. You're referred to a cardiologist and an eye doctor. You have an MRI scan. You also visit a psychiatrist who declares you suffer from some kind of phobia and puts you on heavy medications. These make you feel blurry and they simply mask the problem. So you're now stuck with an inexplicable headache and a medication that has far more side effects than benefits. This is a real-life, everyday scenario that so many patients go through because they hold blind trust in the medical establishment.

Download or read book Lies written by Al Franken and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2004-07-27 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The #1 New York Times bestseller by Senator Al Franken, author of Giant of the Senate Al Franken, one of our “savviest satirists” (People), has been studying the rhetoric of the Right. He has listened to their cries of “slander,” “bias,” and even “treason.” He has examined the GOP's policies of squandering our surplus, ravaging the environment, and alienating the rest of the world. He’s even watched Fox News. A lot. And, in this fair and balanced report, Al bravely and candidly exposes them all for what they are: liars. Lying, lying liars. Al destroys the liberal media bias myth by doing what his targets seem incapable of: getting his facts straight. Using the Right’s own words against them, he takes on the pundits, the politicians, and the issues, in the most talked about book of the year. Timely, provocative, unfailingly honest, and always funny, Lies sticks it to the most right-wing administration in memory, and to the right-wing media hacks who do its bidding.
