  A health regulator taking a complaint from proponents of medical orthodoxy is nothing new. It was Sunday Times Journalist  Brian Deer, not patients who brought the complaint to the GMC regarding the “Scientific Research” of Andrew Wakfield. Watch this video from the perspective of a regulator...

Sceptic outrage at products been sold in Boots

We live in a free country and people should be able to protest about what ever they want. I can think of many more important things to protest “about”, but what ever flies their kite. Shit! there I go again falling into Andy’s trap: quacktrick #39; “what aboutery”. To be...

I never compared GCC chief executive Margaret Coats to a paedophile priest, as stated by Peter Dixon.

In 2006 General Chiropractic Council chairman Peter Dixon accused me of comparing  chief executive Margaret Coats to a paedophile priest and repeated the accusation in a letter to council members, while I was a council member. What I had done was compare Margaret Coats efforts to cover up the misdeeds...

“Disgruntled ex chiropractor”

  I see chiropractic sceptics describing me as “ex chiropractor” and “disgruntled”, I would like everybody to know chiropractic “woo” is still what I do.

When arseholes treat people badly, dont walk away. Be like Che!

A Norwegian chiropractor I went to college with sent me a link to the Kelsey Briggs story. Nine minutes long I was not going to watch it. 30 seconds after it had finished I had forgotten the child's name. So numbed are we by these kind of events in our society.

Regulating unconventional health care.

Its all Richard Lanigans fault. Not the GCC, Not the BCA leadership, McTimoney or Ernst its my fault.

The e-mail below is typical of some of the anonymous e-mails I have been getting lately, I have been asked to stop blogging. Someone I respect called me today and told me all these problems facing the chiropractic profession right now are my fault.  This blog is apparently “anti chiropractic” ...

Not my fault. This is all down to the jobsworths at the General Chiropractic Council.

Today I got lots of emails from people who seem to think I am looking for some kind of revenge on the chiropractic profession. They seem to forget I have many good friends who practise chiropractic. I still practise chiropractic and am a passionate advocate of chiropractic. This mess is not my doing...
