Susie had come to Saskatchewan from North Carolina three months earlier, chasing the promise of healing offered by Dayan Goodenowe and his Dr. Goodenowe Restorative Health Center in Moose Jaw. It’s a private, unregulated facility that claims “a 100 per cent success rate in stopping the progression and in restoring function of people with ALS.”
Goodenowe maintains that every person who enrolls in the program offered at the centre leaves in better condition than when they entered.
In her desperation, Susie put her home up for sale to pay the $84,000 US fee.
But former Goodenowe employees say that as her condition worsened, Goodenowe centre management left Susie to fight for her life on her own — she had to hunt for an American hospital that would install the feeding tube and find a way to get there.
One of those workers, who ended up quitting her job at the Goodenowe centre as a result of how Susie was treated, concluded, “these people had been taking advantage of vulnerable clients like Susie.”
This is what having Conservative assholes like Shmoe lead to … unregulated stupidity to make money for themselves.
Burn it all down.
It’s all over western Canada. Fake medicine like detection of food allergies through hair samples.
No, you cannot detect food allergies in hair samples.
Yes but Saskatchewan is run by our DUI hire.
I mean if you had a full data set of known allergies and millions of DNA of people that have and don’t have allergies, you may find a genetic correlation of people susceptible. But there’s too many environmental factors that would alter that anyway.
But I know the type you mean. On Facebook, a lady contacted my wife claiming she could detect our dog’s allergies with a few photos of our dog. LOL.
At least the vets method of sending away a blood sample for testing, and generating a report did give us food alternatives that stopped our dogs allergies.
Wasn’t there a huge announcement this year about exposure to allergens at a (very) young age preventing allergies? That would suggest genetics is a very small part of it and environmental factors being much more important.
However, checking hair samples doesn’t necessarily mean checking DNA. They could be checking for certain markers like antibodies your body produces. Still sounds like bunk science or it would be much bigger though.
