Stupidity.. Quackery.. Science denial in the days of EBOLA



The other week I wrote dōTERRA legal about a claim I found tied to a website plugging the use of essential oils to cure Ebola.
I had shared the post with Skeptical Medicine on Facebook  & the dōTERRA company did something to remove or block the dangerous post that was claiming essential oils could do something to kill Ebola Virus.

https://www.facebook.com/SkepticalMedicine?ref=br_tf..


How much wrong can you find in this statement? : 
"The reason doctors can't do anything for viruses is because viruses live inside of your cell's walls, and medicine particles can't penetrate those walls. Essential oils, however, have super ...tiny particles and a makeup that allows them to pass through with no problem! They go in, kill the virus while also stopping the viral cells from duplicating, and all the while boost the immune system so the body can continue to fight for itself. We've found that we can kill viral infections in 12-48 hours, depending on how quickly we start using oils."


I hoped  no one else would  publish or do really stupid stuff to misinform the public about the dangers of Ebola  then came the Natural News article claiming a homeopathic cure for Ebola.. I and many others reached out to the medical community & the news  to do something to call that out.

I tweeted the WHO on their position on Homeopathy for the treatment of Ebola .. sharing with them the Natural News connect. They in a nut shell tweeted back they had already stated that Homeopathy is not shown to be a cure for EBOLA to seek professional medical attention if sick with Ebola. 

Thankfully someone at Natural News pulled the blog post that was encouraging people to obtain bodily fluids of people with Ebola and make a homeopathic medicine using the fluids..

From New York Daily News.com
"The antidote requires..
  • A face mask and gloves
  • Two bottles (50 ml up to 500 ml glass or plastic bottles) with caps
  • Clean water (mineral or tap)
  • An Ebola sample: some spit or other disease product, such as blood, from a person infected with Ebola, or who is suspected sick with it. Any small quantity will do, even a pinhead.
  • An alcoholic liquid, such as whisky, brandy, rum, etc.
  • Half an hour of your time
 procedure:

  • Fill the bottle with water, leaving about 20% space at the top.
  • Place the Ebola sample in the water in the bottle.
  • Close the top of the bottle with the cap.
  • Hold the bottle and strike it hard against a solid surface, such as a large book, 40 times.
  • Pour out the contents of the bottle.
  • Refill the bottle with water (the fluid remaining on the inside surface of the bottle will serve as the next Ebola sample).
  • Repeat steps 3 to 6 a total of 30 times. 
Then, drink the solution. "

Thankfully someone at Natural News decided helping spread an epidemic might cut into their revenues. They pulled the Homeopathic Ebola cure article from online.

Science Blogs did a very well written blog post on the Natural News insanity of a homeopathic Ebola treatment..Science Blogs great Natural News Ebola post


According to a New York times article by  Donald G McNeil from Aug 15, 2014 " Late this week, both the World Health Organization and the United States Food and Drug Administration issued strong warnings about false Ebola cures. The latter threatened American companies with penalties if they continue making such claims."   NY Times article

An alert from the FDA on August 14, 2014, states: “FDA has seen and received consumer complaints about a variety of products claiming to either prevent the Ebola virus or treat the infection. There are currently no FDA-approved vaccines or drugs to prevent or treat Ebola … There are no approved vaccines, drugs, or investigational products specifically for purchase on the Internet.” 

Web Med has put up an post about Beware Fake Ebola Treatments on the Internet..Web Med Ebola fake claims alert from FDA

 Medical Daily article on the FDA asking people to report companies making any and all fake claims of product curing EBOLA   FDA: Stay steer clear of any product with false EBOLA claims

The BBB ( Better Business Bureau ) is also warning people not to be get taken in fake Ebola cure claims . Quack Products Prey on Ebola Fears 


Martin Lane at Digital Journal Latest Ebola threat: Bogus treatments

Sharron Hill at Doubtful News ( skeptic website ) has written a piece on  the Ebola outbreak and how  misinformation helps it spread Fear and Misinformation helping spread Ebola

Nigerian officials have had to issue a warning to pastors and faith healers to stop spreading false claims of curing sick people with Ebola.   No more false faith healing claims tied to EBOLA .warning form . Nigerian Govt  

According to Religion News.com  writer Frederick Nzwili   "In Liberia, more than 100 Christian leaders meeting in early August declared that God was angry and Ebola a plague. They called for prayers to seek God’s forgiveness for sins including corruption and immoral acts such as homosexuality."Ebola curse from God?

 Now .. a Mob  has destroyed the Ebola Center in Liberia just two days after it opened.. stealing the stuff in it that may be infected with the deadly Ebola virus and releasing people who were being held due to possible infection.. helping to possibly further spread the deadly virus that has so far killed over 1,000 people..
Liberian Mob helps destroy Ebola center and possibly spread Ebola even further

What is sad .. is that Ebola could  be the black plague of our time if it spreads massively  and despite all the education of some of our top scientists and minds .. it may be the lack of education at the bottom level of society and through society on a whole regarding illness, science and basic human biology that may cause it to spread much further endangering way more than a few thousand people..

Lets look at some information  on Ebola from the Centers for Disease Control ( CDC) 
"
The virus is spread through direct contact (through broken skin or mucous membranes) with
  • a sick person's blood or body fluids (urine, saliva, feces, vomit, and semen)
  • objects (such as needles) that have been contaminated with infected body fluids
  • infected animals
Healthcare workers and the family and friends in close contact with Ebola patients are at the highest risk of getting sick because they may come in contact with infected blood or body fluids.
During outbreaks of Ebola HF, the disease can spread quickly within healthcare settings (such as a clinic or hospital). Exposure to ebolaviruses can occur in healthcare settings where hospital staff are not wearing appropriate protective equipment, such as masks, gowns, and gloves.

Proper cleaning and disposal of instruments, such as needles and syringes, is also important. If instruments are not disposable, they must be sterilized before being used again. Without adequate sterilization of the instruments, virus transmission can continue and amplify an outbreak." Source  CDC

Also from the CDC
Signs/Symptoms of Ebola

"Symptoms of Ebola  typically include

  • Fever (greater than 38.6°C or 101.5°F)
  • Severe headache
  • Muscle pain
  • Weakness
  • Diarrhea
  • Vomiting
  • Abdominal (stomach) pain
  • Lack of appetite

Some patients may experience

  • Rash
  • Red eyes
  • Hiccups
  • Cough
  • Sore throat
  • Chest pain
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Difficulty swallowing
  • Unexplained bleeding inside and outside of the body
Symptoms may appear anywhere from 2 to 21 days after exposure to ebolavirus, although 8-10 days is most common."  Source CDC Ebola Symptoms

Update on  9/26/2014

Today I received  via Twitter  this : 
Quackery claimed to prevent /Treat Ebola By The Healing Frequency. com

I reported this article to the CDC, WHO and the FDA.

The article referenced above is the very thing that FDA , CDC and WHO are trying  to prevent slick  companies from doing .. spreading wrong misinformation  to sell products .. The making of claims not proven  regarding a product to be  effective in the prevention/  treatment  of Ebola ( a deadly highly contagious virus)  can kill not only those who fall for such claims.. it can impact others in society putting all of us at risk for the spread of disease that can Kill . This is the kind of snake oil salesmanship  that takes desperate people for huge amounts of money and endangers us all..


The World Health Organization states that w/ treatment  more people are surviving.. The fatality rate for Ebola in past outbreaks is listed  between 25-90 %
 WHO Fact Sheet Ebola virus disease

As with the other illnesses that people can delay treatment for when trying to self treat.. delay for treatment of Ebola can cause harm.. With Ebola that harm can mean the difference between life and death of not only you but everyone around you. .. But  with early treatment using medicine  survival rates increase..
 Refer:
 Early treatment of Ebola can help save lives
Us News Article .. There's No Ebola Cure, But Early Intensive Treatment Boosts Survival

Ebola is a potentially Lethal  HIGHLY contagious illness that should be treated by medical professionals and not with self treatment.

Due to the sudden increase in the number of people reading this blog post  this week..
I reached out to the James Randi Foundation to see if they might suggest to  me  any science based information to give any of you on the ineffectiveness of essential oils in any study to treat any illness.. They suggested: 

Oil of Oregano Science Based Study/ www.sciencebasedmedicine.org
An aromatherapist Vs. Scientist Blog. /http://scienceblogs.com
Essential oils: A perfect example of alternative medicine exaggeration / http://skeptoid.com


The FDA has started issuing formal warnings regarding false EBOLA claims to companies already:

CNN News..FDA warns companies about fake Ebola drugs
FDA statements on Ebola & Warnings to Three companies regarding false ebola claims
Doubtful News: FDA issues warning letters to companies marketing Ebola “cures”

Please everyone..
 if you see any company making bogus claims to treat or cure Ebola please contact the CDC and FDA to report that company ASAP.
We have the moral obligation to work together to protect the lives of our fellow human beings.

Essential Oils dōTERRA Ebola ... Hay House CEO & Doreen Virtue's wrong medical info..

 dōTERRA & Hay House Publishing Company ... Two companies seeming reactions to endangerment tied to them.

Last weekend I came upon a post that seemed to claim that essential oils could cure Ebola virus..

One of my online friends had already come upon it & swung into action writing dōTERRA legal dept. to stop w/ all dangerous false medical claims that essential oils can in any way cure or treat Ebola.



She asked me if I would likewise write to  dōTERRA & ask them as she had  to pull the blog for the safety of all. Members of the skeptical community had started to pummel the blog post being up & someone at  www.essentialoilsforthewin.com  made it so that the public could not see the Ebola claims  but reps still could.

My friend wrote she emailed Hay House Publishing CEO Reid Tracy
( RTracy@HayHouse.com)  asking him for the misinformation that Hay House allowed to go out via Doreen Virtue on suicide at her Seattle 2012 event w/ John Holland be fixed in their public media outlets so that people would know the correct info on suicide .

CEO of Hay House does nothing after knowing of wrong suicide comment
This weekend we traded updates on our reply progress.~~

CEO Reid Tracy never replied to my friend who wrote him & has yet to take responsibility to correctthe statement by Doreen Virtue that "Those who talk of suicide do not do it . They just want attention. They need counseling. But they don't ever do it."  Nor has Hay House made any statements to the metaphysical consumers that they should go to medical doctors in regards to vaccinations instead of Doreen Virtue who makes anti-vaccine comments/posts and whom they claim hears angels.

To publically address that Doreen Virtue is not accurate & says some of the dumbest shit ever said tied to angels while claiming she can clearly see and hear people's guardian angels & that she has  absolutely no business practicing medicine is what is needed.

Yet, when new age angel crap brings in millions in profits for Hay House aka (Louise Hay and Reid Tracy) they find lots of rea$ons to make excuses to continue with the seemingly utter new age angel con game.

 Awhile back, I tried to bring it to the attn of Hay House & others in an email that is seemed that Dr. Brian Weiss is violating his medical ethics/oath in endorsing Virtue via  his shared product with her in light of her wrong medical statement on suicide and her telling people vaccine info in opposition to the AMA and CDC and her telling people stuff so whacked it might cause people to become atheists..

Hay House UK ad for Weiss/Virtue deck

Weiss so grateful to whore his ethics as psychiatrist for deck!!

In the Virtue/ Weiss Past Life deck that makes claims it will give us clues to the past lives we most likely have never had, we have a Columbia undergrad, Yale MD/Psychiatrist  endorsing a woman who tells us we might be incarnated Leprechauns.. No joke..

Doreen Virtue .. You might be an incarnated Magical being!

What ethical psychiatrist could encourage people toward this?

I questioned did Hay House & Dr Weiss want to be responsible for any & all dangerous notions Natural News might put out for in Hay House plugging Doreen Virtue as really hearing angels & her leading them to Natural News, consumers may take statements on Natural News as of the angels since they tell people Virtue really hears angels and people assume your guardian angel wouldn't give you wrong medical advice.



Now Mike Adams of Natural News is being investigated by the FBI .
Genetic Literacy Project.. FBI turns up the Heat on Mike Adams
Hay House CEO has not distanced Hay House from any posts Doreen Virtue or any of its authors have posted up plugging Natural News as any kind of reliable news source on medical anything.

Hay House .... NO PROGRESS despite their claims of being a spiritual publishing house.

But, what of dōTERRA ?   Did I get a response .  Yes
Did I or any others make any progress..  Maybe...
I wrote them asking them to reply to me & the JREF's Mr Grothe in their reply.

At first they wrote stating they needed a link to the story I was referencing .
I sent them the link that at that time could only be opened with password due to restrictions on the post that had not initially been there ...  http://www.essentialoilsforthewin.com/ebola/

 Why We Are Not Scared Of The Ebola Virus | Essential Oils ...www.essentialoilsforthewin.com/ebola/Aug 1, 2014 - Protected: Why We Are Not Scared Of The Ebola Virus. This content is password protected. To view it please enter your password below:.
 Now when you try to get anything tied to that link you get:
Uh-oh, something went wrong! Error Code: 404  I see that as Progress .
Having wrong medical info out to reps is still wrong medical info going out.

The co rep from dōTERRA legal compliance dept wrote me that the links w/ the Ebola claims were not affiliated with dōTERRA company & they were doing an investigation. Very good.

I  had shared  with dōTERRA a  Facebook connect by  Skeptical Medicine regarding the seemingly  dōTERRA post no longers accessible to the general public:

How much wrong can you find in this statement? :
"The reason doctors can't do anything for viruses is because viruses live inside of your cell's walls, and medicine particles can't penetrate those walls. Essential oils, however, have super ...tiny particles and a makeup that allows them to pass through with no problem! They go in, kill the virus while also stopping the viral cells from duplicating, and all the while boost the immune system so the body can continue to fight for itself. We've found that we can kill viral infections in 12-48 hours, depending on how quickly we start using oils."
 


I've  written & asked dōTERRA legal compliance to next look at this highly upsetting claim/post  .
Road Rash treatment of a child with Essential Oils instead of real medicine..
 Seeing  the photos in the story I fear what if a parent  seeing this type of injury on a child and hearing essential oils fixed it all turn around and delays treatment of their own child's injuries & uses essential oils to  try to heal the child  instead of taking them to a medical doctor.

I use essential oils for relaxation & enjoyment.   I DO NOT use them as curative medicine nor do I tell people they cure anything. I've quite the collection of essential oils.  Though they can be pricey , they seem worth it to me. But, there is no evidence that though nice smelling that any of my essential oils can cure anything!



Anyone wanting to write dōTERRA :

compliance@doterra.com



RTracy@HayHouse.com 

Things to write  Reid Tracy the CEO of Hay House about:

Why it's wrong to leave wrong suicide info in play & wrong for Hay House Publishing and medium John Holland  not to have immediately have stopped the event when Doreen Virtue gave out wrong suicide info and to have fixed the wrong statement right then and there .

 Why Hay House needs to make a public commitment to calling out all dangerous and false medical claims by any and all of their speakers and put life before new age profit..

Will  Reid Tracy as the CEO of Hay House take on full & complete liability for any and all  harm done to any consumer who having heard or seen Virtue posts & statements encouraging people not to get flu shots in the name of the angels fail to vaccinate themselves or their loved one for the flu?

As of 10/4/2014 Doreen Virtue's posts listed below are still up..
Dr. Brian Weiss did not demand they be taken down for the safety of new age consumers .Thus we have a Yale Psychiatrist MD endorsing a woman telling people not to get flu shots as angel message.. right?

New age consumers will assume Dr. Brian Weiss would not have endorsed Virtue w/ her having any points of endangerment & that if he found any that he would demand they be fixed BEFORE their deck came out since DR Weiss took a medical oath.

 Note.. Weiss's medical oath supersedes any contract he may make or will make for new age profit.. (Not that any contract that risks human life is enforceable under the law) . Even if he only realized how nuts it was to endorse Virtue when I contacted him over 18 months ago to let him know of her wrong SUICIDE COMMENTS  it does not excuse him from lack of right action.

Doreen Virtue angel message in Australia not to get flu shots

Doreen Virtue elderberry post encouraging people to see flu shots as bad using Natural News article

Video natural flu shot consumer learned how to make via Doreen Virtue's facebook post

Knowledge of illness creates illness? Doreen Virtue

Doreen Virtue while claiming she can clearly see and hear angels posts on Facebook her guidance and research says no to flu shots

Maybe ask  Hay House .. How if we can't buy spiritual gifts how has Hay House been sponsoring/ profiting on this the seeming sale of spiritual gifts via Virtue's classes & cruises for decades where she has been certifying people on spiritual gifts from angel intuitive to angel therapist ( Check out  her mediumship class @ angel University where she plugs mediumship to any for only $400 via DVD with certification .. . Despite Hay House authors/mediums James Van Praagh  & John Holland clearly stating everyone is NOT a medium nor can they be ...How can either of these mediums knowing Virtue is plugging for sale a product to make anyone a medium.. something that they by their own teachings say is not possible since they say all are not mediums... How can they ethically endorse anything about her since she would be by their teachings be engaged upon material and spiritual fraud if she can not make everyone a medium . So how do we have them selling out mediumship itself  for their gain and possibly their own fans expense since they drive their fans to her! )

Or maybe bring up to Hay House why their  telling people via Doreen Virtue's books/videos/events that Hay House publishes or is in any way tied to that people may be special in that they may  incarnated magical beings such as mermaids, star people, angels and leprechauns and not human beings ... is absolutely wrong & possibly harming people's mental health. It's cruel to do this to vulnerable people.  DR Brian Weiss as a psychiatrist in endorsing such whacked stuff seems to be fully selling out .For the point of a psychiatrist is to bring people from irrational concepts to more rational ones.. not the reverse..

Hay House is also the publishing Co of Esther Hicks who seemingly in this video below tells us all that medicine is just a dog and pony show working only on belief ..
.Medicine what is it.. Vibrational healing By Esther Hicks..

 Hicks' husband  died from cancer despite Hicks spirit claims via her spirit Abraham that via the power of thought you can cure yourself of any illness.. How Hay House continues to sell Hick's stuff as real when the death of her own husband proves her stuff false.. I can not understand. That medium James Van Praagh who is alive today partially thanks to life saving surgery plugs Esther Hicks when she seemingly says medicine only works on belief & is a dog and pony show seems to clearly indicate to me his level of unethical behavior in endorsement.

One would think that Van praagh existing still .. due to real MEDICINE & surgery that worked not due to his belief but because it was based on real medicine... in gratitude alone might  find it highly uncomfortable to  risk that anyone might see him plugging Hicks &  think her statements on medicine true & then make significant health choices that could cause harm in real medicine delay or denial.  But still he leads people to Hicks.. It floors my mind.

This could cause a fully believing consumer to possibly delay surgery or the taking of real medicine thinking if it works only one belief why not try water therapy, essential oils or Reiki instead of medicine. No one wants to go in for major surgery. If I believe that its only belief that makes medicine or surgery work, why not drink a glass of water that I've blessed & have it substitute for a prescribed medicine or heart surgery ? Why not. because it would be insane & is not based on  reality. 

If Hick's crap was true, I could believe a Twinkie could cure cancer &  have it work right?
If it would be unethical for me to tell people Twinkies cure cancer then how is ethical for Hicks to tell people medicine works only on belief?  

Knowingly derailing others or allowing others to be misdirected from timely correct life saving medicine /psychiatric care is medical endangerment.

Vaccinations are a life saving preventative medicine that protects more than just those who are vaccinated but also those who due to illness can not get vaccinated themselves.. Note but even with vaccinations there are some who do come down with the illnesses we vaccinate for. Yet, just because vaccinations are not 100 % does not mean its a great idea to skip them.

Funeral 11 yr. old .. Flu complications.
11 Year old dead from swine flu 2014.
Even w/ flu shots, some can still get flu at times.. 5 yr. old child flu death Portland..
Even w/ flu shots , people can at times get flu.. Newer anti-viral medicine
Flu related deaths start again in Fall 2014.
North Carolina Flu death 2014-2015


Knowingly leaving wrong suicide/medical info in play is wrong & makes one liable morally for the entire ripple of any help not given for as long as wrong medical info is left in play. There is no excuse to risk other people's lives to hide psychic fraud no matter the level of profit to be made by doing so.  Encouraging people to ridiculous notions of their not being human beings but magical beings at the expense of their embracing their humanity, in order to sell them products is pathetic.
