Hi, all.
I'm a student at UoGuelph in Ontario, Canada (just started MSc after BSc, here, in Chemistry)
I've been aware of some things that have stood out to me as pseudoscience here for awhile now and I'm hoping for some opinions from those more well versed in the topic. For example, the health insurance part of our tuition can go towards treatment via chiropractics, acupuncture, and some other things I am not well read on like Active Release Technique and the Graston Technique.
My goal is to give some constructive feedback/criticism to those who run/endorse (those) treatments that are unscientific and ultimately direct student funding towards real treatment/services instead. I'd like to begin the provocation against these pseudoscientific things being at a well respected university.
Most of my information regarding chiro/acupuncture comes from Science Based Medicine, which I deem a reliable source, though ofc I'm not an expert at this or understanding any finer details wrt medical research.
Some things I've noticed about these things on their site atm include the fact that all 4 of the things listed above claim to be able to help treat all of the same conditions, which makes me suspect GT and ART. I've also noticed that the acupuncture page lists the World Health Organisation as being pro-acupuncture for digestive disorders, menstrual and reproductive problems, stress and psycho-emotional problems, respiratory problems and neurological and muscular disorders.
Thanks for any help/advice
