It's a good job alternative medicine practitioners and companies aren't into suing people for libel.

How is it libel if it is true ?

I shall do that right now.

Many thanks mate.

Well TBH that website is pretty much what I have said. Only difference of course is that unlike that website I have worked in the actual company. I have read (and been forced to read, in verbatim) all of their 'scripts' and am no longer under NDA.

Lawyers: advise?

* MODS-

Could we please split out the 'hi fi' stuff into a new thread if that's OK please? Many thanks.

Cavey

I think the hifi stuff was an attempt at drawing a parallel - Doc was quoting a USB cable that was touted to give you better sound quality of MP3s copied over using it.

So, something that has no basis in science, but it promoted by sources (what hifi) as being a great product, and users will say that "it works for them".

So the same thing as homeopathy, basically.

OBJECTION! I just did, dude.

If you can hear the difference, even if there is none, can you not argue that it's money well spent?

It may well be a fact that the products can cause problems, but you appear to be making accusations of dishonesty against the owner, which is nigh on impossible to prove. Are you really this dense, or do you just not read my posts?

I wouldn't say it's impossible to prove. He has a huge track record of being dishonest.

If my post can cause any problems for this forum and its users (other than me, I'm quite prepared to stand by what I have posted) then please by all means remove it.

Good lord, man, do you read your OWN posts? Nothing there is about dishonesty, but mislabelling and selling drugs which need to be licensed.

So mislabelling drugs is not dishonest?

Yes, you could argue that.

Kevin Mark Trudeau (born February 6, 1963) is an American author, convicted felon, radio personality and infomercial salesman, best known for promoting alternative medicine. A number of his television infomercials and several of his books, including Natural Cures "They" Don't Want You to Know About, allege that both the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the pharmaceutical industry value profit more highly than treatments or cures.

You must have been like "WTF is Gaywood on about?"

Re: Homeopathy, I cant understand why anyone would sincerely beleive that the less of something you give someone the better.

If the homeopaths were right, then all the water on the planet would have the same effect on the body as every single chemical on earth, and all life on the planet would have melted in a chemical-induced mess aeons ago. It is demonstrably bollocks, to the extent that there is one doctor in the US (I think - I forget the guy's name) who has publicly maintained for many years a promise that he will personally give 1 million dollars to anyone who can prove that homeopathy works. In fact I believe he doubled the prize a few years ago.

The pills remember that they used to have water in, duhh.

Memory of sugar.

Good name for a blog.

Jimmy Wales, Founder of Wikipedia: Create and enforce new policies that allow for true scientific discourse about holistic approaches to healing.

No, you have to be kidding me. Every single person who signed this petition needs to go back to check their premises and think harder about what it means to be honest, factual, truthful.
Wikipedia's policies around this kind of thing are exactly spot-on and correct. If you can get your work published in respectable scientific journals - that is to say, if you can produce evidence through replicable scientific experiments, then Wikipedia will cover it appropriately.
What we won't do is pretend that the work of lunatic charlatans is the equivalent of "true scientific discourse". It isn't.

All my favourite topics are back today. I truly am in the magic kingdom.

So, there's a petition on Change.org that says
