The RICE protocol (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) for injuries has been largely debunked - inflammation is now understood as a necessary healing process. Similarly, lactic acid was wrongly blamed for muscle soreness when it's actually a fuel source during exercise, paralleling how we misunderstood neuronal fatty acid metabolism.
