“Dear Clementine

I’m writing to ask for advice on how to help a friend who has fallen into a rabbit hole with the wellness industry and people claiming to be channels for medical advice. Over the past four years, my friend has become further convinced of the medically unsound things propagated by this community, and it has impacted her life in serious ways - not least of which is following what I consider to be an extreme diet in order to treat a pre existing issue. Whenever I try to speak with her about it, she tells me I don’t understand. I can feel our friendship fracturing almost beyond repair and I’m ashamed to say I’ve withdrawn from her as a result. How can I help her, or is it too late?”
