		<description><![CDATA[Last time, I said I&#8217;d have more to say on the letters I&#8217;ve received so far.
I said that seven of the 36 were dismissed because the chiropractors mentioned on the websites were no longer at that clinic and therefore — by the GCC&#8217;s reckoning anyway — were no longer responsible for claims made. My arithmetic [...]]]></description>

I received copies of 43 letters sent to 43 of the chiropractors I complained about. All were notifications that the IC (which consists of eight chiropractors and four lay members) had decided — [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s not just the evidence for chiropractic that&#8217;s a bit shaky these days.
For a long time, there has been an uneasy truce between the different chiropractic factions in the UK, all believing different things and each with different rituals.
It seems that they all came together when statutory regulation was first mooted and the carrot of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Following on from Skeptic Barista&#8217;s tenacious questioning of the GCC over the lack of evidence for the chiropractic subluxation, and my obituary of it, the GCC have announced that it is no more than &#8216;an historical concept&#8217; to be consigned to the rubbish bin of a bygone, pre-scientific, evidence-free history.
The final nail in the coffin [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is with no sadness whatsoever, that the death of the chiropractic subluxation at the ripe old age of 115 has finally been declared.
The long-anticipated demise was announced this evening by Skeptic Barista and, indeed, there are grounds for believing that he played a very significant part in that death. It is rumoured that he [...]]]></description>

Otitis Media is, to the average parent, an ear infection — of the middle ear, to be precise. This can affect children and can be very painful and disturbing to both infant and parents. About one in five chiropractors I complained [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The British Chiropractic Association has finally dropped their misconceived libel action against Dr Simon Singh.
Best of all, the BCA have done this in Chiropractic Awareness Week.
The first announcement of it was from the Chambers of one of Simon&#8217;s QCs, William McCormick:
British Chiropractic Association v Singh &#8211; BCA admits defeat.
The BCA today served a Notice of [...]]]></description>

This, and some news today that the Government is minded to let OfQuack regulate even more quacks, prompted me [...]]]></description>
