This week we were joined by Dr. Morgan Levy to discuss placebo medicine and the concept of using it without deception as a form of treatment in a process called Non-Pharmacological Intervention. Nigel also joined us briefly for an update on next weeks show. We also discussed the mad, cockroach like scrambling of Chiropractors from the McTimoney Association in Britain. Below is the e-mail sent out to members urging them to cover up their own deceit. Thanks to archive.org, it's too late.
The e-mail: http://www.quackometer.net/blog/2009/06/chiropractors-told-to-take-down-their.html

No Libel Laws in Science

The use of the English libel laws to silence critical discussion of medical practice and scientific evidence discourages debate, denies the public access to the full picture and encourages use of the courts to silence critics. The British Chiropractic Association has sued Simon Singh for libel. The scientific community would have preferred that it had defended its position about chiropractic through an open discussion in the medical literature or mainstream media.
