It’s common sense to not trust everything that you read on the internet. After all, it doesn’t take a degree or any sort of qualifications to start publishing articles on topics that you know nothing about. Whether you intend on starting conspiracy theories or you’re inadvertently spreading misinformation, it’s extremely easy to make false claims online.

But thankfully, there are also plenty of people who are quick to call out ridiculous statements that they come across on the internet. We took a trip to the Bad Medical Takes account on X and gathered some of their best posts below. This page is dedicated to stopping medical information in its tracks, so enjoy scrolling through these absurd claims and pieces of advice. And remember: you probably shouldn't trust anyone with your health except your doctor!

    It does happen. Used to follow a guy on Twitter who was a member of a bunch of Facebook groups devoted to naturopathic & homeopathic "medicine". He posted screenshots of what they were saying and it was horrifying. One woman posted a picture of her husband's leg, which had gotten torn up by farm machinery 3 days before. She said they had been pouring urine on it for 3 days and it was just getting more red and swelling. Did anyone have any suggestions, or should they go to the hospital.

    No matter what you’re going on the internet to find, you should proceed with caution. If you’re joining a new social media platform to make friends, you should know that you can’t always trust that other people are who they say they are. If you’re looking for the “best” vegan chocolate cake recipe, there are going to be dozens that swear they’re the greatest ever. And, of course, if you’re in search of health advice, don’t blindly believe what you read, even if the author claims to be a doctor.

    Single by choice doesn't mean that a person can't have friends of the opposite gender. It can also mean that they're just keeping their home lives separate and mostly private, and that they're not tying themselves in knots trying to please another person.

    Unpopular opinion, but seeing your loved one in pain and being absolutely unable to help is actually very stressful for a man. That fact in no way detracts from what the woman is experiencing. It's not a balance beam, both partners can have pain and distress at the same time.

    As I’m sure you know, social media is a goldmine for misinformation. So it’s no surprise that influencers are happy to spread false claims about health as well. One 2025 study of the top 100 mental health TikToks found that more than half contained misinformation.

    Another issue with content on social media that discusses mental health is the fact that these videos tend to over-generalize and minimize the complexity of various health issues.

    Amber Johnston, a British Psychological Society-accredited psychologist who reviewed the videos discussing trauma, told The Guardian, “Each video is guilty of suggesting that everyone has the same experience of PTSD with similar symptoms that can easily be explained in a 30-second reel. The truth is that PTSD and trauma symptoms are highly individual experiences that cannot be compared across people and require a trained and accredited clinician to help a person understand the individual nature of their distress.”

    Getting eaten by a bear is also natural, but I wouldn't trust any study that says getting eaten by a bear increases muscle growth. It does help you sleep better though, forever.

    Meanwhile, certain health trends that spread online can be extremely dangerous. For example, in 2023, some people were drinking Borax diluted with water in an attempt to treat arthritis and other health issues. And children as young as nine have been shown anti-vax TikToks, which might cause them to believe that vaccinations are harmful. This kind of medical misinformation can harm not only the people who are exposed to it, but their entire communities.

    I wonder if he has a problem with the fact that in the beginning all human embryos are female. At about 6 or 7 weeks the SRY gene on the Y chromosome triggers the development of testes in XY embryos, leading to male characteristics; otherwise, female development proceeds. This "default" female pathway becomes distinctly male only if the SRY gene activates and produces male hormones like testosterone, making the female state the baseline unless actively overridden.

    All bodies have the same exact hormones, and produce them correctly for their genetic needs. How much produced of each one depends on WHAT ORGANS exist to produce them based on genetics.

    The first children's hospital is the Hôpital des Enfants-Malades, founded in 1802 in Paris, which was specifically established for the treatment of sick children. In the United States, the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) opened in 1855 and was the first hospital dedicated to treating illnesses and injuries specific to children.

    Agreed. I received a donor heart about 20 months ago. During my time in the hospital, before and after the transplant, I was amazed at the stringent guidelines that are followed. Unfortunately, posts like this have encouraged people to have Orhan Donor removed from their licenses. Save a life, be a donor!

    I've seen death, in animals and humans, and "alive" doesnt mean survivable any more than dead means not moving (10-30 min for body to release all built up nerve energies and bodily gasses). Its really disconcerting to see muscles move and flex on their own after being removed from a fresh corpse, which is why death has to be verified very carefully.

    The American Psychological Association also warns that medical misinformation online can cause financial harm as well. There are plenty of people and companies claiming that they have alternative medical solutions, when their real aim is only to make a profit by taking advantage of desperate and vulnerable people. If someone feels like they’ve been mistreated by the traditional medical system, they might be willing to try anything. But they should be skeptical of any individuals or products that make extraordinary claims.

    I signed into Gemini with a burner account and posed the question. It responded that this simply wasn't going to happen: AI has a non-zero risk of making stuff up, sometimes it can completely misunderstand input, it lacks empathy and understanding so it isn't going to be able to pick up on non-verbal cues, AI often presents made up information with the same authoritative tone as facts making it harder for anybody to spot errors, there are numerous hands-on things that doctors do that a machine cannot, and one cannot hold an opaque algorithm legally accountable - in fact current LLMs are not even capable of demonstrating exactly how they arrive at any particular conclusion. And if you've ever used an AI art app, you'll be well aware that you can get wildly different results from the exact same prompt that are sort-of-maybe what you asked for but quite different nonetheless. The current state of technology can assist doctors, certainly, but won't be replacing them.

    I guess the 60s was the end, or at least the start of the end, of the 'golden age' when we could just call people r******d, slow, subnormal, weird or whatever other labels we felt like and put them somewhere we didn't have to deal with them on a daily basis. Yes, I remember those days. They were not 'golden' for the poor kids involved.

    It’s also always a good idea to find the original media source if you want to confirm that a claim or statement is true. Don’t believe it just because you heard it on TikTok. Find the exact study or article citing the information, and make sure that it wasn’t used out of context. At the same time, you’ll want to check if various news sources are reporting the same story. If you can’t find it anywhere else, you might want to be skeptical.

    Oh lort. This was EXACTLY what one of my managers at my grocery store retail job believed. I worked there for two and a half years during the pandemic. This dude was usually the closing manager and I worked the closing shift in my department (vitamins and supplements, and I could tell you plenty of woo-woo stories about my regulars and the supplements they believed would cure things..) So, many a night my manager would follow me around my department while I performed my closing tasks, telling me how "the invention of radio" caused the Spanish flu pandemic in 1918, and he'd list literally all of these same things, right up to "5G was invented and look what happened! COVID!" It took every last molecule of my self-control not to whack him over the head with a giant bottle of liquid bentonite clay.

    Radio waves are NOT new. We didn't start getting bombarded with them in 1918. The earth has been bathed in them for it's entire 4 billion year lifetime. There are numerous astrophysical structures that naturally emit EM radiation at every wavelength (including radio waves) including gas clouds, galactic nuclei, neutron stars, quasars, and supernova remnants.

    Aaaw. It does need to be told more, because its so stupid and wrong. A really great attempt at thinking. What helps, is if you don't start at the conclusion. The stakes are the same from the vaccine and flu. But the odds of a positive outcome are vastly improved with the vaccine. But, its not just about you. The vaccine also reduces the odds of someone else having a negative outcome. Wild huh.

    Meanwhile, when you do find false claims or statements online, don’t hesitate to report them. It can be dangerous for influencers or companies to share outright lies with their followers and customers. Call them out, and make sure that they can’t get away with it again in the future. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to trust anything that we see online, but if we make it unacceptable to spread lies, maybe we’ll start to see less of them.

    Most people are different after having cancer. Those that survive that experience are often more concentrated and stronger, especially mentally. So let's not prevent cancer because we don't like strong focused people.

    Even medics know there is a slight risk, but as below, surgery soon after a positive biopsy minimises any risk. *Extremely Rare: The actual risk of a biopsy causing cancer spread is minimal, often cited as less than 1%. * *Newer Research Insights - Wound Environment: Some studies suggest a core needle biopsy can create a temporary inflammatory wound environment (M2-dominant) that might promote cancer cell changes (EMT, angiogenesis). Delay Matters: A significant delay between biopsy and surgery (e.g., over 50 days) might increase mortality risk in some cancers, as this pro-metastatic state persists. Potential Solutions: Anti-inflammatory d***s (like C*X-2 inhibitors) might help mitigate these biopsy-induced changes if surgery is delayed.*

    Cooking food caused an increase in population because more nutrients become available. Some things, like raw mushrooms, are pretty much devoid of nutrients as far as the human body is concerned. Here’s something that might thrill raw food advocates- some groups of people ate decayed meat because they were easier to digest. When outside people asked them how they could eat such nasty smelling things they were told that they don’t eat the smell. It’s also interesting that cooking foods cause mucus because for *years* it was only dairy that caused it. /s

    Copy-pasted from a quick search: There is a common misconception that low autism rates in Amish communities are linked to their vaccination practices. However, many Amish children do receive vaccinations. Studies have shown that the prevalence of autism among Amish children is not absent but may be underdiagnosed due to the factors mentioned above.

It does increase the risk of Down’s syndrome from what I’ve read, idk if that’s actually accurate, so maybe they are confusing the two? Idk
