		<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>

		<description><![CDATA[Simon Perry has been having an interesting email conversation with Maggy Wallace, Executive Chair of the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council. There have been a few emails back and forth — and it would be best to read the conversation before continuing — but I felt I needed to add my tuppence-worth: &#160; Hi Maggy I&#8217;ve been following your [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There are a lot of doctors out there, but it can be difficult to know which are properly qualified and registered medical practitioners and who are, well, just quacks. It&#8217;s not really that much of a problem for most of us. If we&#8217;re feeling unwell, we make an appointment with our GP. If there is [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s usually a mish-mash of stuff only of interest to chiropractors. But there is an occasional interesting item or two. The latest issue discusses the apparent ongoing debate between the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) and the GCC: The ASA Committee of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I submitted my complaints about claims made on chiropractic websites in June 2008, a fundamental requirement regulating what chiropractors could claim — firmly embedded in their Code of Practice — was that they only advertise consistent with guidance issued by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA). At that time, the General Chiropractic Council&#8216;s Code of Practice [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The phrase Humpty Dumpty chiropractic cropped up in a Google Alert a few days ago. It was the fitting title of an editorial (cached) in the December 2010 issue of Clinical Chiropractic, which discussed the slippery and nebulous meaning of vertebral subluxation complex (VSC). For those who don&#8217;t remember their childhood, in Lewis Carroll&#8217;s Through [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It had never occurred to me that one of the important design parameters of a nappy would be how little noise it makes when flexed. However, this seems to be a USP for some manufacturers and they want to tell prospective customers all about it. Proctor and Gamble (P&#38;G) manufacture Pampers, and one of the [...]]]></description>

My good name… How could anyone possibly think that I would complain to the Advertising Standards Authority about misleading claims for AltMed? Someone objected to claims being made by the Craniosacral Therapy Association (CSTA) in one of their leaflets. It wasn&#8217;t me! However, the CSTA seemed to be convinced I was [...]]]></description>
