I worry when people are told to "do their own research,” especially when it comes to science and medicine. 😞

A while back, my attention was drawn to a trending “health article” on Facebook. The post reeked of poor science and hidden agenda, so I kindly asked the author to share her sources. Her response was that she encourages everyone to “do their own research” and “educate themselves” about the issue at hand.
..What exactly does that mean? 🤷‍♀️ Was she telling me to do a Google search? Ask ChatGPT? Gather my friends' opinions? Bust out a textbook? Launch my own clinical trial? I was using my personal Facebook account, so she was unaware that I was a physician. Even if her audience somehow had access to reputable research articles, did she expect everyone to know how to read, interpret, and appraise them?

I want to free people from this growing expectation that they somehow need to “do their own research” amidst their own hectic, demanding lives. You can be extremely intelligent and still have zero experience when it comes to medical literature appraisal.

There is so much misinformation out there when you stray from evidence-based research. Around every corner is another self-proclaimed "expert" with falsified credentials. They make faulty claims with the utmost confidence in order to push an agenda, gain followers, or even sell bogus products.

Parents, it is OKAY to listen to the health experts with years of experience and training under their belts. It’s okay to have faith in science. It is okay to trust the medical system. This does not make you naïve or vulnerable, nor does it make you a “sheep.” It shows that you respect the fact that people have dedicated their lives to protecting the health of others. You are self-aware enough to recognize the limits of your own comprehension. The smartest people I know are willing to promptly say, "I have no idea" when asked to venture outside of their expertise.

At the same time, it is OKAY to question the things you see and hear from the experts! 🤓 We are not perfect. It’s completely fine to seek out clarification or rationale. You can make well-informed decisions without blindly following along. This is exactly where communication, joint decision-making, and strong patient-physician relationships come into play.

A good medical professional will not make you feel rushed or bullied into making a decision, but will instead take the time to address your concerns and have important conversations with you. They will point you towards trustworthy resources and respectfully answer your questions. I do not encourage you to "do your own research," but rather to find an expert that you can count on.

That's all. ❤

I’m not necessarily supporting this product but this guy explains something I’ve researching a lot lately about Cerebral Folate Deficiency in children with Autism / ADHD / and similar neurodivergent disorders.
