Beware the Bait and Switch in Health Claims
Functional medicine often serves as a marketing ploy that lures patients with promises of exercise and nutrition’s benefits, only to redirect them toward pseudoscientific treatments. This practice is deemed dangerous and unethical, as it misrepresents the efficacy of lifestyle changes, masking them with unproven alternatives like supplements or therapies. Actual health improvements stem from tangible lifestyle modifications, yet these are overshadowed by glorified but unsupported claims. The real concern lies in alternative medicine capitalizing on established evidence-based principles while misattributing health outcomes to dubious practices. Recognizing and addressing misinformation in health discussions is crucial.
