Health body slams Gwyneth Paltrow over long-COVID cure
The actress, who calls herself ‘GP’, has fallen foul of the UK’s NHS over her ‘infrared’ sauna and kombucha regime
Actress Gwyneth Paltrow has angered UK health authorities after suggesting kombucha and products she sells on her website, including an ‘infrared sauna’, are curing her long-COVID.
NHS medical director Professor Stephen Powis called on Ms Paltrow, who runs the ‘wellness’ store Goop, to stop spreading COVID-19 misinformation on social media.
Ms Paltrow, who calls herself ‘GP’, shared on her blog she had turned to a ‘functional medicine practitioner’ to treat the fatigue and “brain fog” she has experienced since developing COVID-19 early in the pandemic.
Will Cole, a naturopath and chiropractor, recommended she follow his intuitive fasting technique which included “lots of coconut aminos”, sugar-free kombucha and kimchi.
