[Discussion] Medical Quackery

This is a follow up to the thread "Medical quackery in the US upsets me very, very much". The aim of this current thread is to take up the discussion on medical quackery (widening the scope since the US isn't the only country concerned), discuss news item pertaining to it and the potential responses to address it.
The definition of medical quackery is not up for debate and includes, among others, homeopathy, vaccine skepticism, naturopathy, crystal healing, psychic healing.

I thought ozone can be produced by running high voltage electricity through the air.

Snort some clowns, that'll cure what ails ya.

It can. Generating it in larger quantities requires a lot of power and has safety concerns (beyond that of the ozone itself). The common home/vehicle ionizers out there generate very tiny amounts.

Marty, I'm sorry, but the only power source capable of generating 1.21 jigawatts of electricity is a bolt of lightning.

Oh, so it's small-batch, homeopathic Ozone. Nice.

Don't don't forget raw.

DONKEY!

I can't find a good, short quote to sum this article up, but it appears that a foundational study underpinning our understanding of the pathology of Alzheimers disease for over 15 years may be fraudulent. The primary author seems to have photoshopped pictures of his experimental results, through multiple papers he published.

And the sad consequences?

Hundreds of clinical trials of amyloid targeted therapies have yielded few glimmers of promise, however; only the underwhelming Aduhelm has gained FDA approval. Yet Aβ still dominates research and drug development. NIH spent about $1.6 billion on projects that mention amyloids in this fiscal year, about half its overall Alzheimer’s funding. Scientists who advance other potential Alzheimer’s causes, such as immune dysfunction or inflammation, complain they have been sidelined by the “amyloid mafia.” Forsayeth says the amyloid hypothesis became “the scientific equivalent of the Ptolemaic model of the Solar System,” in which the Sun and planets rotate around Earth.
