One thing I've noticed on this forum, that's been concerning me for years, is the number of people who seem to have developed orthorexia. It's really unhealthy for someone with ME to restrict their diet hugely because other people are telling them entire food groups are bad, not because they actually need to.
Much agreed from my viewpoint.
From my oncology RN perspective, I have had patients who came with 1000$ worth of supplement on their first chemo day, for the first month supply, because they have been told it would kill the cancer. There is a market for desperate people.
Recently on twitter a breast cancer patient mentioned breast cancer tweet chats and how the discussion goes about. The chats revolve not around what to eat to beat cancer, but around the chemo protocols, the incoming climical trials and what evidence-based best practices are.
i so can't wait till we get there.
