Fibromyalgia "Conference" via Jarred Younger email touting it

[shak8]

I got an email from the Jarud Younger Lab today touting a email conference led by a Dr. Aviles. So, out of journalistic curiosity, I signed up for the newsletter and started to get a series of daily emails by quacks who are doing their fall promotions.

These are cash businesses.

There's no science here.

I hate it when "medical" people take advantage of the naive and ill-informed. Makes me so angry.

I am done with taking Younger seriously at all, done. I don't trust his judgment, therefore I don't trust his research as being science.

This webpage has the interviews. Mostly chiros, alternative (quack) MDs, reverse fibro? Right. That will hook a person.

Oh dear. I got that e-mail today too. Maybe we should reply to Jarred Younger and tell him associating himself with quacks is damaging his reputation.

Oh dear. I got that e-mail today too. Maybe we should reply to Jarred Younger and tell him associating himself with quacks is damaging his reputation.

I think this is a good idea.

Do we know why he didn’t present at OMF symposium? What was he supposed to present on?

Here is the email for what it is worth:

Message from Jarred Younger - Conquering Fibromyalgia Summit

Message from Jarred Younger - Conquering Fibromyalgia Summit

I wanted to inform everyone about an ongoing web-based summit on fibromyalgia called “Conquering Fibromyalgia: A Roadmap to Energy, Strength and Mental Clarity”. I have joined 20 other fibromyalgia experts on giving practical advice for managing the disease. The interviews are being released this week and next via email links. This event is being hosted by Maribel Aviles, M.D., a physicain who treats fibromyalgia and has managed the disease in her own life. As far as I can tell, this is a completely free and geniunely educational summit. I can personnally vouch for my own interview only, but I can tell that Dr. Aviles is sincere in her effort to help people. Feel free to share this email with anyone you think would like to receive the video interviews. You can sign up to receive the interviews at the link below.

It looks from that email as if he knows very little about the conference or the other speakers. I wonder if he's just got caught out, not having enough time to look into it thoroughly?

Oh dear. I got that e-mail today too. Maybe we should reply to Jarred Younger and tell him associating himself with quacks is damaging his reputation.

I did write him a quick email reply saying exactly that.

I signed up to get the emails out of curiosity. I still receive them occasionally. I was surprised today to receive one with a heavily religious slant. I won't go into details as that would break our forum rule about discussing religion, but I was surprised that a doctor (edit: Dr Aviles) would be talking more like a preacher.
