There is a worrying trend in the legitimisation of pseudoscience through approval of degree courses in nonsense. Below is an example and issues are similar to AECC (A UK chiropractic college) becoming "Health Sciences University", see this by @edzardernst edzardernst.com/2024/08/aecc-u…

Seriously problematic. Canada's 1st university degree in traditional Chinese medicine cbc.ca/news/canada/kp… Me: "in this age of misinformation, we should adhere to uniform scientific standards. There isn't East and West science: there is science. I worry that these kinds of programs legitimize pseudoscience." The balancing of "life force energy" = magical thinking. No evidence to support concept. by @TO_jwo via @cbcnews @CBCHealth cc @gorskon @EdzardErnst @jonathanstea @DrJenGunter

Rejecting evidence-based breast cancer treatment isn’t irresponsible (Elle Macpherson is free to choose what happens to her body). Cutting out the cancer & telling everyone you used “an intuitive, heart-led, holistic approach” is irresponsible. 😠 theguardian.com/society/articl…
