Major debunking of one of Elle McPherson’s ‘medical advisors’ on the 7.30 Report tonight. Emphasises the importance of knowing real qualifications rather than the hype. Or the vibe!

    I didn't see this @Afraser but definitely it is best to always get the real story. Always check qualifications and experience too.

    The so-called 'wellness guru' was 100% exposed as a total fake - lying about her so-called 'degrees and PhDs'  ... so well done to the 7.30 Report for exposing her!  The University of NSW demanded she remove all references to her so called 'degrees/PhD' ... but Elle continues to spruik her fake degrees on her website/info .....

    Oncologist Fran Boyle also talks about her horror that women are choosing to not have conventional treatment based on Macpherson's experience of curing her cancer by alternative methods ..... Yet her cancer was surgically removed - which is conventional treatment.

    What a fake both Elle and the so called Dr. Elle is purely in the 'wellness ' industry for money. She has been a business woman for years and money is what she wants- nothing more. She cares for no one but herself!!

    Hearing what you want most to hear, what conforms to your own beliefs and preferences, is increasingly marking people’s judgements, often about pretty serious issues. Seeking qualified professional advice and making decisions on a balanced analysis of benefits and risks still accommodates personal preferences, but within a factual framework. And one of those bits of professional advice is that cancer is not all one thing, following someone else’s treatment may be entirely the wrong thing to do.

    It is concerning that some people would rather listen to individuals like Elle or that fake wellness guru instead of medical professionals. However, it is still important for us to take control, when possible, even when working with our medical team, by staying informed and gaining knowledge from trusted sources of information. Our medical teams provide us with written information and links to reliable websites.  Celebrities are often out of touch with the real world.

    @GorgyS Absolutely. If you don't understand why certain treatments are being recommended then keep asking questions of your doctors, or get a second medical opinion. It's just magical thinking to believe cancer can be wished away by positive thinking or massive doses of green vitamin drinks.
