Doctors Health Press

Doctors Health Press is a website promoting alternative medicine and Big Pharma conspiracy theories.[1] Its many articles are usually about "a new study" showing some "natural" treatment to be effective, or about some artificial chemical being harmful. (For example, see the article "This extract shown to Kill Cancer Cells". Note its vagueness and complete lack of references.) They claim their newsletter has 200,000 subscribers.[2]

They also sell health books[3] and subscriptions to various paper newsletters of theirs.[4][1][5]

Claims

Some of the claims they make include:

  • Big Pharma, the medical establishment, and the powers that be are trying to stop you from finding about the miracle that is homeopathy[6] it's a good thing Doctors Health Press is here to speak out against the conspiracy! Of course, the conspirators aren't doing a particularly good job at hiding homeopathy, since it's frequently in the news, people talk about it all the time, and practicing homeopathists can be found pretty much everywhere (unfortunately), none of which is attributable to the actions of Doctors Health Press.
  • You, too, can live to be 122 like Jeanne Calment by taking resveratrol, a natural compound found in red grape skin![7] But wait, that's not all: Doctors Health Press has an even better compound called pterostilbene, which they will graciously sell bottles of to you with loads of free gifts.
gollark: Seems like the programmers of the library were silly dodecahedra then.
gollark: We need to combine both computer science *and* actual practical stuff, to avoid Electron and also avoid ridiculous weird type insanity.
gollark: Just use a different library for some incredibly obscure archive format nobody can use.
gollark: Ghosts?
gollark: It might be a not-actually-backward-compatible update.
