No scientist or dr. has to debunk my claims. Nothing I ever said undermines their field. They have their lane & I have mine. Integrative medicine is not some kooky thing. Oncologists often suggest to their patients that they attend spiritual support groups etc. It’s not either/or

This you? You are anti-science. You spread a dangerous brand of quackery that costs lives. (Feel free to sue me for slander!) nitter.vloup.ch/mattbc/status/11…

This also you? You are, to be very clear, anti-science. And a huckster spreading lies for your own gain. (Feel free to sue me for slander!) nitter.vloup.ch/mattbc/status/11…

(You tried to delete this one, lol) I'm alive because of biomed txs for depression. Mine was due to a lack of dopamine; that was d/t a lack of iron; that was d/t IBD Trying to shame those of us with MD disabilities by saying we're "spiritually" deficient is vile. You are vile.

Feel free to sue me for slander!

1/ I think OxyContin should exist; it was very helpful to me after surgery. But predatory pharmaceutical execs have been convicted for $billions for contributing to crisis of 450,000 opioid overdoses, purposely creating profit centers that went beyond actual medical need.

2/ I don’t apologize for complaining about the over-pharmaceuticalization of Americans. For people in deep depression antidepressants can obviously be very helpful. But prescribing them long term for less than deep depression, particularly given they are addictive, is a problem.

"such a scam" nitter.vloup.ch/mattbc/status/11…

I regret saying that. It was sloppy & I should not have said it. I do think there is predatory behavior on the part of big Pharma on this issue, but I don’t think deep depression is a scam any more than physical pain is a scam. They both exist & should be treated appropriately.

listen, you want to try to intimidate physicians with talk of "slander" for rightly calling you out for your objectively dangerous rhetoric and then apologize for it 10 minutes later – pick a lane.
