Having watched it you’ll probably agree that Matthias Rath dropping a case against the Guardian and Ben Goldace is a good thing indeed.  Ben Goldacre attacked with the troll stick of truth and won. Read about it in today’s Guardian, Ben’s Bad Science blog, and other blogs that are covering it.  It’s worth covering.

Simon Singh, author and good egg, is being sued by the British Chiropractic Association (note: it’s not a .org.uk address) because he said chiropractors knowingly promote bogus treatments.  It is lolworthy.

Heh.  Chiropractic medicine is based on nonsense, and lacks any solid evidence.  If it had solid evidence it would simply be referred to as medicine.

Have a bit of a laugh at the press release they produced saying teens need to worry more about their health - here.  What a bunch of twats.  Their press releases, in my opinion, amount to sales literature.
