		<description><![CDATA[The General Chiropractic Council&#8216;s occasional News from the GCC publication rarely makes interesting reading. 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[Google Alerts is a very useful tool for skeptics. It sends you an email whenever the word or phrase you&#8217;ve asked for crops up in their searches of news, blogs or other websites. They are excellent for keeping tabs on what&#8217;s going on by helping you track new stories and hits. Naturally, I have one [...]]]></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>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m insulted. I&#8217;m miffed. 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>

		<description><![CDATA[When the British Chiropractic Association published its &#8216;plethora&#8216; of 29 references they thought supported chiropractic for childhood conditions, it took just 24 hours for it to be utterly demolished by scientists and skeptics. Only 18 of these were relevant to chiropractic and childhood conditions. Shortly after that, Fiona Godlee, Editor on the BMJ, commenting on [...]]]></description>

These letters are the formal notices that a complaint against a chiropractor has been considered by the Investigating Committee, that they have decided that there is a case to [...]]]></description>

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.
