"Celebrity-Endorsed Alternative Therapies: Reiki, Cupping, and Vitamin Drips Examined"
King Charles has appointed Dr. Michael Dixon, an advocate for alternative medicine, as his health overseer, sparking discussion on the efficacy of such treatments. Experts like Dr. Abrar Ibrahim acknowledge potential benefits in stress relief and pain management but caution against using them as substitutes for medical treatment. Meanwhile, Professor Edzard Ernst criticizes the lack of scientific evidence supporting many alternative therapies, including homeopathy, reiki, cupping, colonic irrigation, vitamin drips, and placentophagy. Celebrities may endorse these methods, but medical professionals advise seeking treatments that are safe, regulated, and evidence-based.
