People outside of Texas say Texas isn’t real BBQ because it focuses on beef and no sauce vs pork and sauce. That’s dumb. Sorry yall have to hide your meat behind a sauce.

As part of the research for my (someday upcoming) cancer book, I went to some “functional medicine” appointments to see what the appeal was and I am very glad I did it. Here are two parts of it that I think lead people to engage with non-evidence based healthcare. The first is that these non-evidence based care can fit with whatever the patient feels is healthy, whether it will help them get better or not. It is nice to have a person in a position of authority just vibe with you.

They tell you that you can have a positive impact with your choices….some real control over your outcomes by making decisions that feel…wholesome. That was very compelling.

But the other thing is just /time/. My oncologist and I only got to have one long conversation during our entire relationship. Every other meeting was less than 30 minutes. The function health person would talk to me for an hour every week…more if I wanted. We would have wide-ranging conversations, veering far away from my body and that was lovely.

Of course, the reason my oncologist couldn’t try to heal me with wholesome treatments is that chemotherapy was by far the most effective treatment with the highest probability of curing my cancer and it’s…not a vibe at all. The reason he couldn’t tell me that diet mattered was because, when we look at the data, it doesn’t seem to matter much. That’s a bummer. I wanted more agency and he couldn’t give it to me because I didn’t actually have much.

And he couldn’t spend an hour a week with me because his skills are tremendously in demand because he has the knowledge and skill to extend and save lives in a way that my non-evidence-based provider did not. He wasn’t able to just hang out and chat because his skills are more in demand because his treatments are proven to work. I was sharing him with more people, and I couldn’t just pay for more time.

All of which is to say, much of what makes non-evidence based treatment appealing is stuff that evidence-based healthcare literally cannot do.

The other thing I’ll say is, the reading my non-evidence-based provider gave me to check out was the biggest pile of anti-patient, anti-science slop I have ever read. It made it very hard to go back to those appointments knowing that they suggest such destructive stuff while, in the room, just being really kind and wholesome.

Scooby Doo projects each tend to focus on one member of the gang, resulting in each of them having a refined set of character traits and stories. Except Fred. Nobody really gets Fred.

asked my japanese friend what he did while he was in america, and he:
- crumpled up US dollar bills and stuffed them in his pocket “like in the movies”
- bought an apple, rubbed it on his pants and ate it on the street
- walked up to a cop and tried to talk to him
