NRK og andre medier bør være kritiske når helsepersonell tar kontakt for å promotere egne behandlingsmetoder. Særlig når de pusher for å formidle «ble-frisk» historier. Anekdotiske historier er IKKE kunnskapsbasert dokumentasjon for noe som helst. www.dagensmedisin.no/ernaering-fe...

1) Jeg er så lei meg og skuffet over NRK’ stunt i går. Når ble det NRK’s oppgave å kjøre reklamekampanjer for alternativ behandling mot alvorlig sykdom som long covid? Man kurerer ikke mitokondrielle, autonome og immunologiske skader og dysfunksjoner med å innbille seg at man er frisk.
Egentlig er det fortvilet at vi i @covidforening.bsky.social er nødt til å bruke energi på å tilbakevise utdatert kunnskap og tendensiøs forskning om #longcovid, men må vi, så må vi.
