NMC declares stem cell therapy for autism illegal, restricts use to 32 approved conditions The court’s ruling rests on a consistent scientific position taken by regulators and expert bodies over the years.

Today in "scientifically unvalidated, ethically impermissible": India's National Medical Commission (NMC) has "declared stem cell therapy illegal for the treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), issuing a nationwide advisory."

And it's so frustrating because the same techniques they're using to help people "remember" this stuff can be used to make people "remember" demonstrably fictitious past lives. Why are we still taking this seriously?

People who say there's cults practicing alter programming/trauma-based mind control claim it's unrelated to the Satanic Panic; but then you go and read the literature written by the therapists who promote it and it's all Satanic Panic myths and conspiracy theories.

"This person's inner world is really complex! Somebody must have designed it!" Some people naturally have a strong ability to imagine and visualize complex things! That also goes for people with dissociative identity disorder!
#pseudoscience #quackery

None of the things that people claim are signs of trauma-based mind control/alter programming actually require it to explain them. There's no reason to think certain types of alters or inner worlds require a designer. It's like young earth creationism for DID.

Bizarre Claim Against Eating Disorder Clinic

Predatory therapists are still using the pseudoscientific myth of alter programming to manipulate and exploit patients, by the way: www.courthousenews.com/bizarre-clai...

"Cults program their victims to tell therapists that their memories of ritual abuse must have come from media or their own imaginations" is how you get therapist gaslighting.

Right now I'm reading through Healing the Unimaginable: Treating Ritual Abuse and Mind Control by Dr. Alison Miller. Not only is the whole concept/myth of alter programming unscientific, but she's explicitly citing far right conspiracy theorist Svali.

Horrific malpractice: a PhD statistician just posted on Andrew Gelman's blog that he had a chatbot make up a list of canonical authors, make up a list of their major publications, calculate their age at publication, and create a chart.

In August of 2025 a paper submitted in PLOS One supported the controversial 'Younger Dryas #comet impact' theory, which has been equated with #pseudoscience in pages like Wikipedia, because it's often invoked by alternative historians like Graham Hancock.

Can #AI read personality, emotions, or criminality from the face? In this paper, Päivi Seppälä and I examine some such controversial AI applications and argue that in many cases, they are best understood as social pseudotechnologies. You can read the article here for free!

Nobody presents their case as #pseudoScience, right?

The same techniques certain therapists use to help people "remember" alleged repressed memories have helped people "remember" past lives in places that never existed, like Lemuria. That's how we know it's #quackery.

Richard Dawkins verteidigen In den letzten Jahren hat John Lennox – ein Mathematiker aus Oxford und christlicher Apologet – scharfe Kritik an Richard Dawkins, dem Evolutionsbiologen und Bestsellerautor, der für sein Eintreten für Atheismus und Wissenschaft bekannt ist, geübt. Lennox’ Kritik konzentriert sich stark auf Dawkins’ Umgang mit der Evolution und dem Ursprung des Lebens und zielt darauf ab, Dawkins’ Glaubwürdigkeit und damit auch die von ihm vertretene wissenschaftliche Weltanschauung zu untergraben.

You can stop yourself from falling into a lot of BS by learning to recognize weasel words.
"Ancient texts say" - which texts?
"Scientists say" - which scientists?
"Investigators found evidence that proves" - did they really, though?

I don't think the quackery epidemic can properly be addressed without acknowledging the role medical misogyny has played in driving women away from evidence-based medicine.
#pseudoscience #misogyny

The New Age model of vibrational frequencies comes close enough to describing our physical and psychological experiences that it *feels* like it could be true, even though it's #pseudoscience.

I think a lot of pseudoscience compels people because it feels true.
