		<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[This week is the first anniversary of the report Free Speech is Not for Sale, which highlighted the oppressive nature of English libel law. In short, the law is extremely hostile to writers, while being unreasonably friendly towards powerful corporations and individuals who want to silence critics.

Well, in case you&#8217;ve been hibernating all winter (and who could blame you), there&#8217;s going to be a General Election fairly soon and there&#8217;s no better time [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[David Colquhoun&#8217;s frustration — and indeed anger — is palpable. And understandably so. He brilliantly covered Monday&#8217;s announcement by the Department of Health (DoH) of their consultation into the regulation of &#8220;acupuncture, herbal medicine, traditional Chinese medicine and other traditional medicine systems&#8221;. This consultation is the DoH&#8217;s response to the infamous Pittilo Report, which saw [...]]]></description>
