3 of the most bogus health claims on Pinterest you shouldn 't believe (-- removed HTML --)

Pinterest is a great place for creating mood boards, gathering recipes, learning new things, and viewing cute things. But it’s also home to a lot of bogus health claims that you shouldn’t believe. Here are some of the top ones that we found:
1. Cancer killing juice
Do you know what kills cancer? An intense cocktail of drugs that leave you feeling so sick you’re unsure what’s going to kill you first: the cancer or the drugs. Juice doesn’t do anything. This juice claims to kill cancer. Don’t believe it. If you have cancer please seek out actual medical advice and don’t rely on a bogus Pinterest health claim.

2. Cinnamon and honey cure diseases
There’s a claim going around on Pinterest that if you boil cinnamon and honey together and then drink it, it’ll cure you of cancer, heart disease, bad cholesterol and a couple of other things. It claims that it’s an ancient Chinese medicine. It’s true, for instance, that some types of honey - like manuka honey - have some kind of healing properties in terms of boosting your immune system, but it can’t cure diseases. The claims of this pin are completely false. If you’re suffering from any of these diseases please seek out legitimate medical advice.

If only this was true. It would make cancer treatments so much easier. But, like everything in this post, it isn’t true, and is instead medical misinformation. Many of the claims of these pins say “studies show” or “a recent study says” and then goes on from there. Be wary of anything that starts with that kind of lead. Legitimate health care options will give you sources of which studies and there will be more than one. One study isn’t enough to prove anything. Be a smart user on Pinterest and think before you pin or before you believe a

    Not expecting to be noticed so quickly, Thomas gave orders to lower the sails to half-mast, as the smaller boat neared them. The CSS Drewry was a gunboat out of Fort Marion, formerly Castillo de San Marcos, according to the Captain, which was located on the northern shore of Matanzas Bay at St. Augustine. The Drewry was to escort Thomas’ ship in for a meeting with an important man on an important mission was what they told him. When they stopped him, Thomas told them that he planned to stop anyway, that he was dropping off a few supplies (which was not true, but he figured it would get him in good with those in charge) and taking on fresh water. He figured he could spare a few cases of rum and a bushel or three of fruits for the fort.

  • Summary Of Reverse The Post Truth In Healthcare By Nancy Beck

    The building of bricks (frustration of health care system stacked up) eventually couldn’t keep it together anymore and came crashing to the ground which is the pinnacle of her anger where she wrote this informative article. One of the key concepts she stressed was about the post-truth over what causes cancer. Recently, people have been told that things such as using your phone, eating meats such as chicken, and drinking anything that is hot like coffee can increase your chance for developing cancer. This statement uses the pathos strategy as it tugs at the reader and scares them into thinking their everyday tasks could make them develop this horrible disease. Personally, I feel that this can not be true as ninety plus percentage of the American population uses a phone in their everyday life, where in reality cancer only impacts a small majority.

The fact is there is a multitude of journals and reviews etc. on any given subject; for this reason it is imperative that one knows how to conduct a proper search for pertinent information.
