		<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>

		<description><![CDATA[The first decisions of the GCC&#8217;s Investigating Committee (IC) on my complaints fell with a thud onto my doormat a few days ago.
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>

		<description><![CDATA[Time to take a closer look at some of the conclusions of the Bronfort report.
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 GCC&#8217;s Bronfort report is starting to have an effect. And not before time.
The British Chiropractic Association removed their Happy Families leaflet from their website last year, but it is still on the websites of some chiropractors (for example Weston Chiropractic Clinic here (cached).
Over the intervening months, various chiropractors have removed loads of claims from [...]]]></description>

EBH [Evidence-Based Healthcare] is about doing the right things for the right people at the right time. It does so by promoting the examination of best available clinical research evidence as the preferred process of decision making where higher quality evidence is available. [...]]]></description>

Answer: Today&#8217;s advert has the claims for &#8220;Children with colic &#38; ear infections&#8221; covered up.
The removal of these claims may have been due to the GCC&#8217;s recently released Bronfort report, or perhaps they&#8217;ve now [...]]]></description>
