Sounding Good, Looking Bad

This married pair of MDs are clever with their words:

Doctors Robert Rowen and Terri Su create personalized treatment plans that strive to address both the symptoms and the underlying causes of disease.

The most common being energy-blocking “interference fields”, toxins in the body, a compromised metabolism, stress, unbalanced emotions, and poor nutrition. Removing these hindrances often helps your body to heal. . . .

The Robert Rowen, MD and Terri Su, MD Clinic is a patient-centered holistic medicine clinic in Santa Rosa, in the North Bay area, that focuses on treating you, not just your “disease.” [Quackwatch]

Not so smart as the IRS, who detected that Rowen was trying to hide income from the IRS.

But the red flag is that last sentence up there. Treatment is always to relieve a patient of a disease, if only the symptoms in cases of diseases for which no cure is available but time, or to cure the disease outright. If you’ve got a doc who treats diseases, you should ask them what they’re trying to cure the disease of.

Nonsensical sentences that sound good are a clear signal that you’re dealing with a grifter. Or a sloppy writer, like me.
