Yes, I have seen the report, but not read the pdf yet. FYI, Zeno has just blogged about it here:

“…at face value, it is a damning indictment of a vast number of claims chiropractors have been making”.

“Few, if any, trials of manual therapy have
been designed to show that an established treatment is ineffective. Many negative
trials are too small to have been certain that an important therapeutic effect has not
been overlooked. Thus, it is important when reading this report to remember that
absence of evidence of effectiveness is not the same as evidence of absence of
effectiveness.”

“there is now little dispute amongst knowledgeable
scientists that manipulation is of value in the management of back pain, neck pain and
headaches that make up 90% or more of all patients who seek chiropractic care. At the
same time, a close review of the evidence, including the recent large population
studies in Ontario (2), have demonstrated that the incidence of serious side effects
such as stroke following chiropractic care is extremely rare and is probably not related
to manipulation in most patients but due to the fact that patients develop neck pain or
headache as a result of a dissection of a vertebral artery that progresses through the
natural history of dissection to stroke irrespective of the clinician the patient consults.”

“The questions here are being asked by several intellegent people, who probably have nothing better to do, for some reason known only to them, have a problem with anything they don’t beleive in because ” the evidence is not up to standard”
Now these people may not be qualifed to examine scientific evidence, they almost certainly know nothing about chiropractic yet they think for some strange reason they are acting on behalf of the great british public!!!

fed up, you’re repeating same fallacious argument that David keeps making.

You surely agree that anything concerning people’s health is a matter of public interest. You presumably also agree that it is important to establish the truth about therapies that are promulgated as beneficial to people’s health, whatever these are.

But instead of welcoming questions that are aimed at eliciting the truth, you, David and any number of other altmed therapists who (‘probably having nothing better to do than’) comment on various skeptic blogs, try to get the questioners to shut up. And you do this by resorting to ad hominems about what people do for a living, what we know or don’t know already, what we are qualified to say, how we have too much time on our hands, etc. etc.

Excuse me, but we are all affected by matters of public health and we are all entitled – and “qualified” – to ask questions about it.

Your fallacious arguments aren’t going to change anyone’s mind about chiropractic and I respectfully suggest you do a course in critical reasoning.

“In conclusion, SRAM should simply be ignored as an ongoing diatribe against all of natural medicine by a group that, by their own admission, starts with a set conclusion and basically ignores the full breadth of evidence available on the subject.”

I suggest that you have a read through the late Barry Beyerstein’s classic essay, ‘Social and Judgmental Biases That Seem to Make Inert Treatments Work’. It is a thorough analysis of alternative medicine and common errors of reasoning:

Now thats funny. The questions here are being asked by several intellegent people, who probably have nothing better to do, for some reason known only to them, have a problem with anything they don’t beleive in because ” the evidence is not up to standard”
Now these people may not be qualifed to examine scientific evidence, they almost certainly know nothing about chiropractic yet they think for some strange reason they are acting on behalf of the great british public!!!

I have over 4000 members of the british public that would tell you they have, and still do, benefit from chiropractic care. My colleague down stairs has the same. David will probably have as many or even more. I’m sure they would all be really pleased to know you are asking these questions on their behalf even though you don’t have a clue as to what you are actually talking about and thousands and thousands of the british public will tell you you are wrong.
