The use of patient testimonials for marketing on health websites is a major pseudoscientific red flag and is unethical.

And for good reason:

“Wellness has come to represent a wonderland free from constraints of scientific scrutiny. The industry flows with pseudoscience & to say it’s lucrative would be an understatement…The term has morphed into dollar signs, drawing us into a never-ending cycle of treating problems we didn’t know we had”

A classic hallmark of pseudoscience is when proponents reverse the burden of proof on skeptics to prove them wrong rather than having to provide evidence to support their own claims.

Hitchens’s razor: What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.

Journal title resembles a real journal? Six weeks from received to accepted? Author's institution doesn't actually exist?

Everything about this article and journal stinks. @retractionwatch.com

Pro tip: Google "how to spot a predatory journal" & "how not to spread junk science and misinfo"
