Let’s not forget that the McTim Associates conveniently exited stage left by warning their members to destroy all their brochures, close down their websites and cleanse internet search entries, leaving the BCAs to fight the cause. It seems unbelievable that they can then show their faces in an investigative role!

On that basis and from past experience, I reliably predict that the McRepresentative will hunt with the GCC hounds rather than run with the fox.

Furthermore, I am reliably informed that Kalim Mehrabi will be the subject of investigation himself in the near future so we will soon find out how the talking shop all works in practice.

Chiropolitics is most intriguing.

my solicitor applied to be co-opted, she’s brilliant and works in litigation, however for some reason she’s obviously not fit to be a member as she would be intelligent, educated, bright and have an unbiased oppinion.

With the previous case law and GCC tribunals regarding breaches in the adversiting standards, the BCA lot should get three months suspension as well as a test of competence as was handed down to Warren Gage in 2004. Within this trial the defence barristers showed that the BCA and the GCC were in fact in breach of the standards themselves, which is what they were claiming of Dr Gage, but they chose to ignore it, and vilify this one doctor instead of perhaps asking him to change his material. That is their mode of attack, to destroy one persons livelyhood, especially if they are not part of the club. Richard Brown was the expert witness for the GCC.

in late 2004/2005 I specifically asked Margaret Coates if the GCC could create an advertising committee or help line that would help chiropractors make sure they were within the standards, so doctors would feel confident to run the information by a committee and know that they were well represented, and the GCC refuse, actually Margaret herself refused right there and then, this has been minutes in the CSWG meetings at the time.

Don’t worry, I think they may have a better understanding of ASA guidance in due course.

As Chiroquactic is a fundamentlist religion, (in a very thin disguise), it is no surprise to me that they slavishly copy the example of the Vatican when ‘investigating’ clear offenses by their privileged hierarchy.

I realise my comment is only loosely related to the actual topic under discussion here, but I think you’ll excuse me.

Anyway, I guess we’ve all read the claim that chiropractic will help you live longer? It turns out that this has actually been testsed empirically! And the answer is a statistically significant no!

It’s late at night, so all I can think of to say is that they’re ducking out in case any laymen walking in realise they are all quackers.
