Quackery.
Characteristics.
The 'developments' in a research field go very fast (many '
breakthroughs
') and there 'soon' (1-2 years) will be a test and a therapy available.
Their developers and promoters often claim that a medical or scientific 'conspiracy' has been convened against them, and often work in isolation from established scientific facilities.
Patients are encouraged to participate in a 'scientific research project' that often has the potential to be financially profitable to those who have developed, promoted, or endorsed them
[Check
ISRCTN Register
to find out].
Such 'projects' are generally communicated outside regular channels of scientific and clinical communications, and the details of the therapies are often secretive.
Jargon.
Quack jargon includes words like... balance, bigpharma, energy, healing, holistic, meditation, multidimensional, organic, rebirthing, and wellness.
Publications.
Quack papers suggest that selling a product is the same thing as 'biomedical research' and therefore suggest that CFS is 'all in the mind' and that 'biomedical research of CFS' doesn't exist.
Quack papers usually are published in quack journals/magazines so you might check non-CFS papers published in the same magazine.
Quacks that publish in scientific journals, can be identified because they operate in 'citation clusters'.

Data fabrication.
Research fields.
Alchemy
, Hermeticism.
[Alchemy is considered the yoga of the West].
Anti-aging
[Patients must rejuvenate to recover since they used to be healthy in the past].
'Applied' Kinesiology (AK)
[Muscle testing to diagnose medical conditions].
Ayurveda
, meditation, stress management,
yoga
[In
Hindi/Sanskrit
,
CFS
is called '
bala
kshaya
'. A cure (e.g. phytotherapy + diet + life style) is called 'rasayana sevana', were 'rasayana' is '
alchemy
', '
chemistry
', and '
rejuvenation
' (anti-aging, longevity), and 'sevana' is '
servant
'. Ayurveda is the
Orthomolecular Psychiatry
of the Orient].
Biological Dentistry (Amalgam/Mercury)
[Example:
Jean-Claude Leunis
/Ategis]
In alchemy,
Silver in amalgam is an insult of Mercury since silver is the planetary metal of the Moon, causing 'lunacy'.
Amalgam in teeth is also an insult of Mercury since a tooth is Mercury and the Moon cannot cure Mercury (once a month Mercury
heals
- obscures the Full Moon - instead).
Composite (filling) is considered an alloy of Sulfur and Mercury.
Brain Phospholipids (Omega-3)
[Examples: Michael Maes, Basant Puri].
Homeopathy.
(Ortho)molecular Psychiatry
(Diets, food supplements, nutrients, vitamins)
[
Abram Hoffer
and
Linus Pauling
(1967). Note that
orthomolecular psychiatrists
, treating 'schizophrenia' with quack products (CFS is considered schizophrenia in orthomolecular psychiatry), detest conventional medicine (called '
toximolecular
' medicine), CFS psychiatry (called 'Wessely School'), and pharmaceutical companies (called 'BigPharma') - which might explain quite a number of problems in the CFS community. The conflict arose in
1967
and addressed orthodox schizophrenia, not CFS. Orthomolecular Psychiatry is the
Ayurveda
of the West].
Ortho
molecular refers to the alchemy of the
Dead Dog
Orthos (Orthros, Orthus, Orthrus) - explaining why orthomolecular psychiatrists always refer to schizophrenia.
Iriscopy (Iris refers to a rainbow and an eye)
[In Iriscopy, Satan tells his pupils (quacks) how to proceed since Iris + Pupil refers to a Solar Eclipse (Mercury)].
In quackery and in the radical gay community, there are 6 colours, not 7, in a
r
a
i
n
b
o
w
: the colour of
heaven/Jupiter
(
Blue, #00ffff
) has been removed and the colour of
hell/Sirius
(
Indigo, #4b0082
) is called Blue. The colour that connects both ends of a rainbow in a
colour wheel
is called Pink (
Magenta, #ff00ff
); it is the unnatural (that is: there is no corresponding wavelength) colour of homosexuality - the gender symbol for
homosexuality
, ☿, being the symbol for
Mercury
.
In a 7-colour rainbow, the sum of all colours is white; in a 6-colour rainbow it is yellow (the colour of Mercury) since blue and yellow are complementary colours.
Iris, the messenger between the (seven) Planets and Earth (the Gods and Man)
also
has a Caduceus; the white dove/pigeon is the
peace symbol
for Iris
[In Nordic mythology, the rainbow refers to
Bifröst Bridge
].
Osteopathy.
Pharmacognosy
[Example:
Malcolm Hooper
].
Tests.
Accreditation problems: a laboratory test may not be developed for testing humans (but for animals, food, and pollution instead). The test might even be illegal.
Hair analysis
[Click on 'bala' in the
Ayurveda
section to see why: in Hindi, 'hair' - and 'energy', 'force', 'impetus' (pre-scientific 'momentum'), 'power' (and 'compulsion', 'curse', 'nerve', 'plague') are
homonyms
, also explaining the 'Samson and Delilah' story in the Bible and the name of the musical of the 1960s].
Melisa
[Biological dentistry test to 'detect metal allergy/poisoning' by Amalgam, Mercury, Cadmium, Palladium, Silver. Examples: Jean-Claude Leunis, Michael Maes, Vera Stejskal].
In astrology, Amalgam refers to a mix of
'Planetary metals'
; quacks use Zinc to harmonize with other 'Group IIb Elements of the
Periodic Table
'.
NOVO (Immogenics).
Nutrient deficiencies
['Nutrient' refers to '
Nut
'].
Yeast allergies (Candida Albicans).
Therapies.
Acclydine
<link>
/
Solanum dulcamara
- see also
Little Duck and the Great Quack
- (a 'Mercurial' herb, that is: a fast-growing herb), Human growth hormone (HGH), phytohormones (broccoli, pickle, potato).
Dossier Acclydine
[
Dutch
]
[Acclydine is Calf food - where 'Calf' refers to Horus, the Golden Calf, and the Exodus from Egypt].
Acupuncture.
Anti-oxidants (vitamin C, vitamin E, beta carotene).
In fact, quacks refer to
Precious metals
('Group Ib Elements' of the
Periodic Table
) that are difficult to
oxidize
. In alchemy, such elements contain no
Phlogiston
(anti-oxygen).
Ayurveda
, herbal therapy, phytotherapy, thea.
In the occult bible
Kybalion
,
phytotherapy refers to neo'fyt' (pupil, novice), not to 'phyto' (herb) - a pupil and an Iris refer to an eye and a Solar Eclipse.
Chelation Therapy (removal of 'toxic heavy metals').
Heavy metals refer to a
Yellow Iris
(
Yellow Flag
) - yellow being the planetary
colour
of Mercury and Iris refering to a rainbow and an eye (a yellow Iris has the ability to take up heavy metals through its roots).
Colloidal Silver.
Crotalis (rattle snake poison)
[The rattle (sistrum) is an attribute of Isis, Hathor, and Bast; a Sistrurus is a rattle snake. To baby Herakles, the snakes sent by Hera (Isis) to kill him, were toys and he started to use them as a rattle].
Detoxifying Diet, detoxification
[alchemy to unite symptoms and toxins - where 'External toxins' (environmental toxins) and 'Internal toxins' (wastes produced through metabolism), 'weakening our system', are 'measured' by determining the
symptoms
].
Improving 'Immune function'.
Isoflavone/phytoestrogen (red clover, soya beans).
Light Therapy
['Light' refers to Mercury or Sirius - and therefore to Satan].
Minerals (calcium, magnesium).
Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide (NADH).
Omega-3 (Oil).
In astrology, Omega-3 refers to a
Solar Eclipse
(Mercury)
'Oil' to 'Fire'
(body and mind) of the
Dead Dog
, and 'Fish' refers to
Christianity
- so 'Omega-3 Fish Oil' refers to the destruction of Christianity in the mind by Mercury. The oil is in fact produced by
Sunflowers
(the flower of Mercury).
Rebalancing and Acupressure
[Alchemy]
Reverse Therapy.
Salt (baths), sugar (D-Ribose)
[Example:
Jacob Teitelbaum
]
, and whey (Glutathion)
[Example:
Dharam Ablashi
].
Quack doctors.
Characteristics.
Quacks don't write research proposals; they ain't
'principal investigator'
of research projects, submitted to a government agency. Also, they ain't 'referee' for genuine research projects ('peer review').
Quacks buy awards and Ph.D. degrees from a 'Diploma Mill'.
[Examples: 'Albert Schweitzer Award of the OIU Medical School Columbo'
<link>
, Sri Lanka (Garth Nicolson);
American Biographical Institute
(Michael Maes),
International Biographical Centre
, and
Who's Who
from the Church of Scientology].
However, most 'awards' in the résumé (c.v.) of quacks are awarded 'research grants' provided by a quack organization.

<link #2>
Quacks falsify and misinterpretate test results.
Quacks are combated by the Health Inspection, Justice Department, Quack-busting groups, and are involved in lawsuits.
The profession of quacks may not be medical doctor (they may be trained chemists, cosmeticians, dieticians, nurses, pharmacists, physical therapists, and vets).

Quacks 'heal' (merge, unite) everything modern medicine cannot fix.
Quack companies (pharmaceutical companies, test laboratories).
Company characteristics.
Companies operate from a fake address and/or are located in a diet shop, a hairdresser's shop, a post box, and have their telephone calls forwarded ('from a Science Centre') to another number.
Companies also produce 'anti-aging' and diet products and/or publish diet cook books.
Companies also produce/test animal products (animal foods, dairy products, eggs).
Companies organize 'activities' for support groups to promote products.
Different company names for the same company to cover different diseases
[Check Chamber of Commerce to find out].
Product characteristics.
Products don't have accreditation and licensing from official health authorities.
Products are not covered by official health care system.
Products are not covered by official health insurance.
Products are promoted in Internet groups by quack company employees impersonating patients
[
'Social Media Optimization'
(SMO)].
Different brand names for the same product to cover different diseases
[Check Trademark Office to find out].
Quack conferences.
Characteristics.
Accreditation problems: a conference is supported by a specific quack research field to promote a specific quack therapy.
The conference is announced in a quack journal; the conference report is published in a quack journal.
The conference organization is sponsored by quack companies; the conference floor is used by quack companies to display their products.
The conference doesn't have a Scientific Organizing Committee (SOC) - in the chair is a quack doctor.
The conference organization doesn't have a name and an address.
Quack conspiracies.
Characteristics.
Most PWCs think there is a conspiracy to explain the absence of scientific progress (due to CFS quackery).
Many people (they usually portray themselves as PWCs) take bribes from quacks to attack CFS doctors and medical practitioners, the official health system, pharmaceutical companies, and CFS researchers. They act like illusionist assistants.
Whisleblowers, people that do not take bribes, and skeptics within the CFS community itself are portrayed alcoholics, drug abusers and junkies, and psychiatric patients.
Victims of quackery issue offending press releases on their 'enemies'.
Victims of quackery fear and shun an evil outside world (while in fact they rely on an evil inner circle of quacks).
Victims of quackery are aware of things that do not exist and are
implanted
during quack therapy sessions.
Awareness.
Most patient organizations and government agencies are aware of the facts (these ain't secret and anyone can find them on the Internet).
The things PWCs believe are part of the conspiracy itself - they favor any fabricated horror story as part of the real horror scenario.
Quack psychotherapy.
Characteristics.
Absence of Evidence Based Practice (EBP).
(Self-)Induced
brainwashing
and
thought reform
.
Coercive persuasion
.
Cold reading

Confabulation
.
False memories
,
Mind control
.
Hypnosis
, Past Life Regression and Reincarnation Therapy.
Perfectionism
[
Brought to completeness
(to heal the Dead Dog, the Moon, the Solar Eclipse). Without flaw: there are
thousands of references
in the CFS community to a 'flawed' life style. Yogi's (alchemists) tell their victims to
empty
their mind and to
clean
their body -
filling
the pupil's mind with nonsense,
fighting
sceptisism].
Psychological Alchemy
[Alchemical Psychology, Divine Thinking, Meditation, Mental Psychology].
(Self-)Induced
psychological trauma
(emotional and/or psychological injuries).
Alchemy & Enlightenment
.
Philosophy.
The philosophy of alchemy is
Solve et Coagula
- (separate and recombine, schism and restoration).
The patient is to be separated (isolated) from medical doctors, family, friends, and even from the disease itself by separating mind and body (the body is irrelevant, it is just a host for a new mind). In isolation, the victim can be harmed and not defend itself when it is recombined with its new thoughts
[The reward for the quack is
reincarnation
].
The advantage of
Enlightenment
is that the patient is not treated for an
initial
material problem but for an
alternate
spiritual one instead, carefully concealed from the 'material eye' of the patient; it can only observed by a 'spiritual eye'. The material reality vs. the spiritual reality are considered
profane
vs.
occult
,
dark
vs.
enlightened
.
The problem is that the spiritual reality does not exist - it is 'all in the mind'
[Awareness of a spiritual reality is a delusion].
Method.
Separate
[The killing of the
Dead Dog
, the phases of the Moon].
Creating duality: The material reality (the 'how' of things) and the spiritual reality (the 'why' of things).
A thought that make sense is to be abandoned: the victim must identify something in the spiritual reality (and accept it)
[This is the method to make a sane person insane].
A thought that does not make sense is to be confirmed: the victim must identify something in the material reality (and reject it)
[This is the method to keep a person insane].
Recombine.
[The healing of the
Dead Dog
, the
Solar Eclipse
].
Annihilating duality (achieving unity, creating holism), merging the material reality and the spiritual reality.
The merging process is the unification of the conscious mind and the unconscious
[An immortal soul has snatched a new body].
Insanity indicates that joining things together has been completed - the victim now is 'spiritual enlightened'
[The victim is aware of a non-existing unification of the material reality and the spiritual one and is no longer able to
separate
the two (he is now a 'schizoid man')].
Results.
Alchemy
increases
the number of spiritual problems (where analysis
solves
material problems). The patient gets confused (because the contact with the material reality has been broken and awareness of the spiritual reality has been accomplished) by non-existing relations between the two
[The victim no longer realizes that the spiritual reality does not exist but is a construction instead, carefully implanted to inflict emotional and cognitive damage].
Therapies.
Autogenic training
[
Autosuggestion
, awareness training].
