The bogus, the scammers, the quacks, the pseudo-scientists and other pedlars of bullshit

Posted by Kulvinder Matharu on 14 October 2011, 8:48 pm

Bunch of stuff from The Quackometer which I’ve only just got round to read. 1. The MHRA is not an effective organisation. Far from it: MHRA accused of “clothing naked quackery” http://www.quackometer.net/blog/2011/09/mhra-accused-of-clothing-naked-quackery.html 2. Misled graduates in career hurdle: McTimoney Chiropractic College in Deep Trouble http://www.quackometer.net/blog/2011/10/mctimoney-chiropractic-college-in-deep-trouble.html 3. The ASA struggles with clamping down on homeopathic advertising [...]

Homeopathy cures and prevents malaria and HIV…what?

Posted by Kulvinder Matharu on 25 August 2011, 11:55 am

Jeremy Sherr’s clinics promoting homeopathy in Africa is, as Quackometer puts it, murderous. Homeopathy has been shown to be a placebo and, as a placebo, can have certain benefits for a narrow range of ailments through use of psychological effects. And there are probably better ways to harness this placebo effect. But to use homeopathy [...]

The Complementary Medical Association denounce the Advertising Standards Authority

Posted by Kulvinder Matharu on 3 August 2011, 5:48 pm

Wow. Just wow. Quackometer takes apart an email from the President of The Complementary Medical Association which was discrediting and denouncing the Adverting Standards Authority (ASA). A must read for those who care about evidence-based medicines and the fight against nonsense and quackery. Quacks Denounce ASA as Incompetent and Threatening http://www.quackometer.net/blog/2011/08/quacks-denounce-asa-as-incompetent-and-threatening.html Quack, quack! Article by [...]

Murderous advice of homeopaths

Posted by Kulvinder Matharu on 2 May 2011, 1:28 pm

Quackometer article that describes “the depths of the murderous advice being handed out by homeopaths in Kenya”. Abha Light Must Close http://www.quackometer.net/blog/2011/05/abha-light-must-close.html And the article makes it clear that the Society of Homeopaths are complicit. Again we find the “deluded and superstitious practices of homeopathy” are directly responsible for harm. A tragedy, a scandal. Note: [...]

Director of the Society of Homeopaths Threatens Libel Action Against Paul Offit

Posted by Kulvinder Matharu on 4 March 2011, 6:40 pm

Well, we know that homeopathy is nothing more than a placebo and we know the dangers of using homeopathy instead of real medical treatments. We also know the falsehoods promulgated by homeopaths of how homeopathy is supposed to work. Now it would appear that Richard Barr, the director of the Society of Homeopaths, is threatening [...]

CBC Marketplace programme on homeopathy

Posted by Kulvinder Matharu on 17 January 2011, 6:59 pm

The CBC recently aired a “Marketplace” programme on homeopathy. By all (credible!) accounts it was a very good piece of investigation and exposé of homeopathy. Two articles worth reading are: The Homeopaths’ Response to the CBC Marketplace Programme http://www.quackometer.net/blog/2011/01/the-homeopaths-response-to-the-cbc-marketplace-programme.html CBC Marketplace on Homeopathy http://skepticblog.org/2011/01/17/cbc-marketplace-on-homeopathy/ These are the CBC videos on YouTube: Part 1   Part [...]

Homeopathy kills

Posted by Kulvinder Matharu on 5 January 2011, 8:05 pm

It still amazes me that the sham called “homeopathy” has any foothold in the medical market. Homeopathy has been shown to be bullshit, being nothing more than a placebo. Homeopathy “treatments” can stop or delay people from seeking real treatment, see What’s The Harm. Homeopathy endorsements from oafs such as Prince Charles contribute to the [...]

Vehement attacks on Quackometer

Posted by Kulvinder Matharu on 22 November 2010, 7:39 pm

I couldn’t believe this: I Have Been Putting on my Shoes http://www.quackometer.net/blog/2010/11/i-have-been-putting-on-my-shoes.html The article describes John Benneth’s vehement, unpleasant and ultimately unjustifiable attacks on Quackometer. The homeopathy movement is based on demonstrable untruths but homeopaths are in denial. It’s this, if anything, that explains why  homeopaths are increasing embracing lies and other gutter strategies. The [...]
