Is Body Piercing Toronto Used As A Medication?

By Steven Sanders


Evidently, in the recent past, there has been a great upshot in the population who desire to get punctured in various parts of the body for aesthetic reasons. Most notably has been the daith. The body piercing Toronto has not been left behind in this wave. There are also claims in that are coming up that the daith could treat the migraines. Already seeing some coincidence?

Do not be too excited too soon. It could be a safe assumption that after the many strides the industry has taken, at least one person from the crowd should have surfaced and made a confession about how his condition magically disappeared after the daithing was done. However, such a person is still being waited upon until now.

This phenomenon can be included in the textbook example confirmation of bias. Such a healthy dose of a placebo effect. A person gets a daith done and then What a shock! The migraines are gone. Cured. That is at least until the full storm of the attack comes right back again.

The confirmation bias in this situation could have worked like this; A piercer has a hypothesis that the particular piercing can cure migraines. The person then tells that to the clients, how overwhelmingly many customers claim it has helped them. He/she ignores the evidence that does not support the hypothesis. The population could as well be a placebo. Those who due to circumstances are led to believe they have the condition, although a doctor has never confirmed it.

That is the reason all experiments are set up with a control in place. Placebos are also used. Those scheduled to collect the information do not know who get the placebo and who got the real medication. The results are not just a confirmation of the experimenters bias. And that is the reason why conducting a proper study done topically is of importance. To protect everyone from being coloured by biases.

It is still important to know that nobody can be blamed for being excited about this. It is nobodys fault that science reporting is done wrong these days. Thanks to the bad science. The people who are writing about the health science more so in this issue, are getting it all wrong. Going through a recently published book called the bad science can enlighten one on the same.

Another plausible explanation is that the people who release such claims are not even aware of the migraine condition they are talking about. To such people, their ignorance could be leading them to think that when a person complains about a migraine is any another headache caused due to self-inflicted stress. They should be pitied. This condition is dangerous.

These patients need to be protected from such unfounded claims that could give them false hope as they try hoping against hope to find a solution to their predicaments. The issue should be approached with the seriousness it deserves. The bloggers and article writers should also be weary of writing articles on the same.
