Rachel went way overboard in her careless criticisms of amniotic tissue injections.

[triron]

Normally I am very much with Rachel with her presentations, but her apparent slandering
of amniotic tissue injections was ignorant and careless. They have many beneficial uses in orthopedics and tissue healing.
She was correct on some things; for instance, amniotic tissue injections do not contain viable stem cells.

I will cite below numerous studies on this medical intervention from pubmed:

I could go on but I think this makes my point.

1. Perhaps I wasn't paying close enough attention, but I think she didn't criticize that.

My impression was she was only criticizing that scammer, who was injecting unknown liquids into people.

[electric_blue68]

3. That's what I got - scamming with unknown liquid as cure.

[blueinredohio]

6. That was my understanding also.

[ShazzieB]

9. You got it right, servermsh.

She never said what the scammer was injecting, and she definitely did NOT utter the words "amniotic" or " tissue."

[Hekate]

27. I heard "amniotic fluid" and "contained no stem cells" ...

Which is not a condemnation of amniotic fluid per se, but of the claim by the quack that it contained something it did not and was a cure-all.

2. I can't watch her, she goes way overboard always. Sorry.

[USALiberal]

8. Her ratings are amazing so it must be your issue. Nt

[Hoyt]

10. Whoops, sorry, meant to reply to poster above.

[ShazzieB]

12. I love Rachel. ❤

I get that not everybody does, but I think she's amazing. She is literally my most favoritest thing on TV, and I have learned SO much from her. I love how smart she is, and I love her passion, because it shows how deeply she cares.

[electric_blue68]

14. She's one of my faves...

Smart, compassionate, and funny! ❤️

And btw - she's an amateur mixologist! She used to
talk about it at times on (rip) Air America Radio. 😁

23. THIS n/t

[Hoyt]

11. Watched her religiously during bush years. But nowadays everything's a blockbuster,

that’s often a bust, or she’s taking forever to connect dots that just don’t matter.

I seldom watch her now, but get why others do.

[dem4decades]

13. Thank you. You've expressed my feelings better than I did.

[COLGATE4]

17. Let me also associate myself with your thoughts.

[Raine]

20. I feel the same

and the way she drags things out I just can't watch her at all.

[Happy Hoosier]

24. In a shallow world, she offers depth.

I appreciate that she offers background and context. It’s rare in our “instant gratification” world.

[msongs]

4. she also said "everybody" will be watching the stupor bowl sunday. oh well nt

[tblue37]

5. I have never watched a football game & probably never will.

[Phoenix61]

7. The first two were animal studies.

The human study used a membrane not fluid. The last one used stem cells derived from fluid. So, none of the studies you cited involved amniotic fluid in humans.

[Srkdqltr]

15. She was talking about the woman who touted her cure for covid . She was selling

Supposed stem cell cure all. I don't know what you all heard but she didn't say anything about amnionic tissue anything. Her point was the whole thing was fake.

[elleng]

16. No

[jcgoldie]

18. Did you even watch her show?

This is not what happened.

[JI7]

19. Are you talking about the Covid Cure Scam by a Republican Woman ?

[TomSlick]

21. I stayed up for the re-run in case I had missed something - I had not.

Rachel made no "ignorant and careless" "slandering of amniotic tissue injections." Rather, she noted that this now Missouri state representative and indicted felon had sold injections, she claimed to be amniotic fluid, claiming they contained stem cells as a cure for a laundry list of medical conditions including COPD, erectile dysfunction, urinary incontinence, and Covid-19. The injection did not contain stem cells and cured nothing. (There was no reference to whether this "assistant physician" was actually injecting amniotic fluid or, if so, how she collected it.)

Rachel is not everyone's cup of tea but she is neither ignorant nor careless.

Footnote: She was an "assistant physician" because she was a recent Caribbean medical school graduate who had been rejected for any residency program.

[Hekate]

28. Yes. This is how I heard it. nt

[OnDoutside]

22. You are completely and utterly wrong. I've just watched her show

and you have completely mischaracterized what she said. You should remove this thread or edit the thread title and OP.

[Evergreen Emerald]

25. There is one thing you can say about Rachel...

...She is not ignorant.

[PirateRo]

26. Sorry, no.

You ay want to correct this, your review misrepresents the content of the show.

[Ilsa]

29. RM was making the point that this Republican rep is a snake oil salesman.

She was cheating sick people of their savings for fake cures, especially for COVID-19. At least with a burglar or robber, we aren't being misdirected about matters as important as our health.

I think we all need to be reminded occasionally that there are thieves and sociopaths disquised as professionals.
