Common Medical Fallacies by tuoyoojo(m): 10:57pm On May 16, 2013
If u require instant energy or if one has "blood shortage"..drink malt and milk

When a person eats mango and coke,its causes death....no medical proof to back this up


If a person has burns,apply palm oil on it....this only worsen the condition as if would add more bacteria to d burns

When a child is convulsing,give cow urine to abort it...no medical proof dat this stops convulsion

Drinking d water inside coconut can mak one to b dull academically

When a child is about to start having teeth,it comes with diarhoea...this normal physiological process does not cause diarhoea in itself but when the child is abt to start teething,he develops itchy gums and may want to use any nearby object to "stratch" d gums.these objects may be infected and that's what may cause diarhoea

If a child is brillant,its normally a trait gotten from d father..research how ever proofs dat" academic excellence" is a trait that is transfered to the child from d mother...ofcourse let's not forget that external facts has a huge role to play too

Looking at a person with conjuctivitis would automatically mean that d infection wud be transmitted to the
"Looker"....its mainly transmitted via contact.that is if d infected person who touches his eyes and shakes anoda person,he might pass in infection to him if he go and touches his eyes with that infected "hand"

When bad blood accumulates in a part of the body,it can cause illness so that blood must be let out of the blood by making small incisions on that body part...this has no medical backing

The list goes on.....

Lols @ point 1. I drank a lot of malt + milk + blood tonic when I was having dizzyspells during pregnancy and it worked. Placebo effect?
I'm hearing of mango and coke for the first time. Its mango + garri= death myth that I know well.

Others include:
epilepsy is contagious.

a woman who wears yellow coloured
clothing when pregnant stands the risk of having a baby with jaundice.

An HIV victim can be cured if he sleeps with a virgin.

A toddler whose mum is pregnant would be sick till the mum puts to bed.

These are nothing but useless and wicked superstitions.
