Great australian TV show that shows the fraud homeopathy really is. Check it out and comennte the show.

Two factors explain the success of such bracelets. Firstly we have the public use of bracelets [...]

To the blog readers and not readers. To those who like what they read and those who do not like. Those who visit the blog every day and those who almost never come here. Those who participate with comments and those who never participated. The curious whoclose the browser window in 10 seconds and the curious who just love to see the photos. Lay people seeking information and to lay that find information. Patients who seek understanding, to patients who seek treatment for patients who find treatment and patients who find no treatment.
To all I would like to wish a MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A GREAT NEW YEAR

Test your power balance bracelet
I recently had a comment in the acupuncture portuguese blog saying that the power balance bracelet worked and that I should show evidence that it did not work. That it was a hoax.
In reality, the burden of proof is on people who claim it works and not in others. And without [...]

There’s a new fashion in Portugal and in the world. I´m talking about power balance bracelets. Power Balance Bracelets have a hologram that interacts with the magnetic field of the human body, restoring his energy and giving more strength, vitality and health to people who use it.
In reality it is not a new fashion. If [...]

The text on holism and empathy I showed how often people confuse empathy with holism. In That article I drew attention to the fact that many of the complaints of the patients are due to the fact that medical doctors are unsympathetic to the patient and do not devote the time that they would like.
Interestingly many [...]

Yet not long ago there was a policy of “hide the knowledge” that revenge by practitioners of acupuncture in Portugal. Some older colleagues and teachers taught me that there should be very careful to pass the knowledge to others. Knowledge was to be hidden.
I still remember visiting the site of a new school in Portugal who advertised [...]
