Latest post of the previous page:

Yup, good interview there, Alan. :thumbsup: I learned from that.

The one with the Christian protester was well done as well, he will hopefully go away withe the idea that all skeptics are not rabid atheists reinforced. Will listen to rest later.

Lynne McTaggart of What Doctors Don't Tell You fame had one of her websites hacked several days ago: OF CYBER LYNCH MOBS

I'll leave it to you to determine what impression she (and the commenters below the article) gives about who the culprits might have been.

The message left on her website was vile: I said so on Twitter and Maria left a comment under the article:
The act and the misogynistic abuse that accompany it are disgusting and inexcusable. I very much hope the perpetrator is brought to justice.

I'm almost as appalled - though less surprised - at your generalised slur and accusation at 'online skeptics'. Everything unsupportable allegation you make against us - and there are many - can be said directly of you with the evidence to back it up so your sanctimonious outrage is unconvincing.

There are three fundamental questions for anyone advocating Brexit:

1. What, precisely, are the significant and tangible benefits of leaving the EU?
2. What damage to the UK and its citizens is an acceptable price to pay for those benefits?
3. Which ruling of the ECJ is most persuasive of the need to leave its jurisdiction?

McTaggart's behaviour is inexcusable and probably actionable, given that she very clearly implies Maria has committed a criminal act.

A good article on bogus breast screening tests that mentions out ASA adjudication against a WDDTY advertiser:

According to a letter in the September 2015 issue of What Doctors Don't Tell You, I'm also director of the statutory regulator for pharmacists and pharmacies, the General Pharmaceutical Council:

Alan H wrote:The Nightingale Collaboration: Treating Ebola with 'bioresonance'
I was reading this earlier. The news article, I mean. Not your post. I looked back at this thread just now to see if the article I am talking about was mentioned.

Anyway, to cut a long story short... I'd looked up ASA rulings about lists of conditions a few weeks ago to remind myself if they constituted an implied claim and Bicom came up. Finally got round to doing some background reading on Bicom just out of interest. The company I was complaining about were also making bioresonance / biofeedback claims. I saw another ASA ruling from August this year I think that was similar. Actually, the story wasn't that long. That's pretty much it. Maybe I should have padded it out a bit.

If I ever get round to finishing this blog post, I'll be referencing the Nightingale's complaint.

Was there any update on the results of the complaint? I know the ASA ruling, obv. But Trading Standards & the MHRA? Any news?

Well done, Alan! Excellent.

The RLHIM still does to some extent. There's more to be said and Good Thinking will be publishing something about this shortly (I've just commented on a draft) - I'll let you know.

:thumbsup:

Nice, simple, explicit grahics.

Might be interested enough to graph the increasing cost of homeopathetic stuff against inflation. Would that be an indicator of increasing fat cattery I wonder?

I didn't publish this and it's not adjusted for inflation, but it shows the rising costs in recent years - presumably the costs rose to offset the reduced sales volumes, but it's fallen back again a bit last year:
