The Observer, the Burzynski Clinic, and Complicity in Misinformation

No one wants to admit that they’re wrong. Pointing them to well researched articles, exposing flaws in their logic and their decisions should make a reasonable person change their mind. But this isn’t the case most of the time. Instead, people believe that they’re under attack and become more firmly entrenched in their positions. I [...]

Quackometer article on chiropractors attacking their own regulator: Chiropractors at War with their Regulator, the GCC http://www.quackometer.net/blog/2010/11/chiropractors-at-war-with-their-regulator-the-gcc.html Chiropractic is based on quackery but I am aware that some are trying to distance themselves from the quackery nonsense and move to a more scientific approach; perhaps in the same way that modern chemistry moved on from [...]
