A true Canadian poo poo is the poo poo you take after coming home from a camping weekend where you ate nothing but meat and potatoes, and then stop at a restaurant on your way home and order a big rear end salad because you have a massive jones for vegetables, gracing your digestive system with the first hint of fiber it's had in four days.

Postess with the Mostest posted:fb posted: Been at work so I missed this discussion where I can make quality posts. Natural Health Products (NHPs) require almost no evidence to be approved. The first step in order to market snake oil is determining that it is not a pharmaceutical according to the Food and Drugs Regulations. For instance intravenous products or treatments for cancer are treated as pharmaceuticals and therefore must provide sufficient proof of efficacy and the benefits must outweigh the harms. Patient populations and available treatment options are considered. NHPs do not require proof of efficacy. Just a statement explaining that someone somewhere believes it works. There is a safety component to the application, but since NHPs are not investigated using robust randomized controlled trials, lack of evidence that the product is harmful is good enough for authorization. So basically NHPs are rubbberstamped to market.  Even if assessment officers have PhDs or medical degrees, Canadian laws are business friendly when it comes to alternative medicine. I'm echoing Risky Biscuit: high acetaminophen doses cause liver damage, not NSAIDs (one would have to take massive amounts). NSAIDs also have a terrible reputation. I agree they are possibly overused, but the cardiovascular risks (which are 3-5x higher than placebo) are still low in the general population. For patients at low risk, Celebrex and Vioxx, the more maligned NSAIDs, are amazing. Context is key. Much of the love for alternative medicine stems from mistrust and misunderstanding of the medical practice. So don't expect proponents to have sound arguments. The placebo effect is real and some natural products do have a clinically significant effect. Once evaluated they become pharmaceuticals...

Dreylad posted:"Wellness" is also a multi-billion dollar industry that slings all sorts of herbal remedies that's tied to naturopathy and homeopathy and all sorts of bullshit. The medical system not being great at listening to patients is definitely an issue that's being addressed, if unequally, but people found out that there's a shitload of money to be made in selling people everything from herbal teas that'll cure what ails ya to jade eggs for your vagina. It's interesting to highlight that Big Pharma also have huge stakes in the Natural Health Products industry. Not a coincidence. I'm with you that there are systemic issues with modern medicine. Pain treatment options are limited. We can't dispense opioids like candy because, you know, opioid crisis. NSAIDs might be helpful for rheumatoid pain but should be avoided in a subset of patients. Gabapentinoids might work for neuropathic pain, etc. We don't have magic bullets and some patient have zero effective safe options. So it's whichever placebo that make them feel best. I'm hoping that marijuana (marihuana as per our government) legalization will lead to good data on potential roles for pain treatment... Still, I doubt 420 will solve everything.

ZShakespeare posted:long term use of acetaminophen and NSAIDs can be harmful, and opioids are addictive True for opioids. Patients using acetaminophen or NSAIDs do not develop tolerance and physical dependence within several orders of magnitude to what you get with opioids. Psychological dependence is different. But one is just as likely to become psychologically dependent on any given non-traditional treatment if it engages rewarding processes. (For example, not feeling pain is a form of reward in that context)

Still, I doubt 420 will solve everything. It definitely wont, but ideally we can figure out a way to open up various controlled drugs to medical research again to provide more options for me. Supposedly (with zero scientific rigour so I realize I'm being a hypocrite here) migraines have been treated effectively by microdosing LSD. But good luck trying to get clearance for that experiment.

There are rigorous microdosing trials underway now, with large N and encouraging results. We'll get to the science long before we get to permission to administer. (I microdose LSD-1P every 3 days, with the blessing of my psychiatrist, as an intervention for depression. It has been delightfully effective.)

This is true. There's something about a post-camping poo poo, probably because without even forming the conscious thought your eyes take in the [non-] bathroom situation while camping and your bowels are like "nuff said" and saves as much of the experience as possible until you're sitting on a real toilet once more.

Lain Iwakura posted:Long-term use of any medication that is processed by the liver is harmful. It's not exactly true though. Acetaminophen is the poster child of liver toxicity. But so is alcohol (in a completely different way). A lot more than medications are metabolized by liver enzymes. Some pharmaceutical substances have no more a damaging effect than food or normal aging. Likewise, not just medications have an effect on liver function. Grapefruit juice significantly decreases certain liver metabolic pathways while St. John's Wort has the opposite effect. Fun fact: many natural products are laced with pharmaceuticals (e.g. viagra, aspirin, opioids, and more) because these compounds are cheap to make and effective. Once identified (surprise testing) they get recalled... But we need inspectors to catch them.

There was some dude in calgary that claimed someone ran barbed wire across a biking trail and it cut his neck, and then started a gofundme to get some money out of the deal. The cops figured out he was full of poo poo and charged him with fraud. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/stelianos-psaroudakis-west-bragg-creek-charged-fraud-1.4216322 I wonder if the cops know they started a fundraiser over it.

My mom got mad at me because I was going to use my codeine pills as a sleep aid on the plane and told me I was going to get addicted. So I showed her on the label where my 3/4 full bottle had been prescribed to me in 2015 and said I could probably mis-use one pill on a single flight and be fine.

Baronjutter posted:Oh also a fun part of the Canadian health system is a shocking number of GP's and nurses buy into this poo poo. I had to switch between 3 GP's because they kept telling me to try a bunch of natural crap proven to do nothing and would talk about how we have so much to learn from the east and their natural cures. Last time my grandpa was in the hospital after a heart attack all the loving nurses were "off the record" commending him for refusing all the drugs and only using "natural" stuff and telling him how toxic and bad all the drugs big pharma makes them give their patients are. For his dangerous blood pressure they were strongly pushing him to just load up on miso soup and oil of oregano and good for you saying no to all the evil big pharma blood pressure medicine. This is IN the hospital. the answer to 'alternative' medicine is to bring it inside the existing health system. let people be naturopaths or traditional chinese medicine practicioners or alchemists or whatever but have them share patient records with the rest of the health system and make sure they have oversight. if someone thinks acupuncture or those stupid hologram bracelets are helping them - that's great! - let them continue but make sure that they are doing it alongside conventional medicine in regular medical clinics and hospitals and not in some strip mall 'healing centre'

Maybe if Minister responsible for Translink Fassbender had actually delivered on any sort of transit expansion whatsoever while the Federal Liberals were dangling bags of cash to do so he would have been reelected and the Liberals wouldn't have gotten roasted in Metro Vancouver. I bet Abbotsford South MLA Darryl Plecas probably thinks they weren't right wing enough. What a bunch of clueless morons.

Realtalk though western acupuncture with IMS needles is the loving bomb, I hosed up my back at the gym a few weeks ago and it was killing me after skiing, I went to a random physiotherapist and she put three needles in it and the pain was just instantly gone. It did hurt slightly at the time but god drat was it ever worth it.
