		<description><![CDATA[What does the Swiss Government really think about homeopathy? By Sven Rudloff and Zeno A lot has been made by homeopaths about the &#8216;neutral&#8217; Swiss Government&#8217;s report and its unequivocal support of homeopathy. It&#8217;s been lauded by the luminaries of the homeopathic world as further proof — as if any was needed, of course — that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have never been 100%  sure of the exact numbers of complaints of mine the General Chiropractic Council had to deal with. I certainly submitted a list of 524 names, but the number changed as the complaints were processed. Quite a few chiros were added to my initial list because they were at the same [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not sure how I came across it, but it was probably on Twitter. A conference on alternative cancer treatments is being held in Totnes in Devon this coming Saturday, organised by Dr Stephen Hopwood (cached) of the Totnes Cancer Health Centre (TCHC). Because of its content, I immediately complained to Consumer Direct (the central point for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are many nutritional therapists who will give responsible, evidence and science-based advice. What is OfQuack doing to ensure their nutritional therapists don&#8217;t mislead the public? Their new &#8216;therapy descriptor&#8217; needs careful analysis. I blogged a few days ago about the investigation by the consumers&#8217; organisation Which? that revealed nutritional therapists giving dangerous and misleading [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nutritional therapists are a varied bunch and come in several &#8216;flavours&#8217;, with the science and evidence-based practitioners at one end of the spectrum and at the other, what @skepticstu on Twitter referred to as the &#8216;Supplement Salesforce&#8217;. At this far end, some seem to think many ills — particularly chronic conditions — are due to dairy intolerance [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many websites of homeopaths are changing. Some as a direct result of being contacted by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) and some, no doubt, because, now they are aware of the ASA&#8217;s rules, want to be responsible and abide by them. I&#8217;ve been watching several websites change over recent months: some delete a few words here and there; some [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s bad enough when homeopaths take good money from people, claiming they can cure their colds or clear up their eczema with sugar pills. It&#8217;s another thing entirely to claim to prevent or treat serious diseases with identical sugar pills. But this is precisely what the BBC&#8217;s Newsnight programme discovered homeopaths were doing. Broadcast in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Is &#8216;homeopathic&#8217; an accurate description of self-regulation? The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) are paragons of efficiency and professionalism. They may well have a lot to deal with at the moment, but that does not stop them investigating complaints thoroughly and responsibly. They take the business of regulation seriously and have a well-deserved reputation for being [...]]]></description>
