Watch out for miracle cures that will cure you of Covid-19 ... even (or especially) if they are advised by Gwyneth Paltrow.
This is the message from the British health services, the NHS (National Health Service), which was forced to react after the publication of a blog post by the actress.
She claims to have found a method there to treat certain symptoms of the coronavirus.
After being stricken with the disease last year, she continued to be tired and "cloudy" in her brain.
So she decided to change her lifestyle: no food before 11 a.m., a ketogenic (low-carb) and plant-based diet, and of course, no sugar and no alcohol at all.
A method that has not been proven at all, according to Stephen Powis, national director of the NHS.
“Like the virus, disinformation crosses borders, it mutates and it evolves.
In recent days, I see that Gwyneth Paltrow is unfortunately suffering from the effects of Covid.
We wish her well, but some of the solutions she recommends are not really what we would advocate in the NHS, ”he said, according to Sky News, harsh on the founder of Goop.
Apply serious science
Contrary to what Gwyneth Paltrow advocates, health authorities advise patients or ex-patients of Covid-19 to eat healthy and balanced food and not to hesitate to let go of protein, especially if they have lost weight, as is the case with many patients.
“We need to take the long version of Covid-19 seriously and apply serious science.
All influencers who use social media have a duty of responsibility and a duty of care in this regard, ”adds Stephen Powis.
Gwyneth Paltrow, has already been accused on several occasions of promoting "pseudoscience" through her site of "well-being".
