Matt Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 There's free speech, and then there's publishing this bollocks to the detriment of the general public's health... Incredibly, Simon Singh was threatened with legal action after criticising quack-mag What Doctors Don't Tell You and accused the magazine of promoting health advice that could potentially harm readers. The editor of the publication, Lynne McTaggart has called for its supporters to fight off these 'bully boys'. What she has seemingly overlooked is that libel reform activist Singh has already successfully fought off the British Chiropractic Association with their bogus claims of healing two years ago. (EDIT: I think McTaggart has since back-tracked) If I point out that McTaggart believes WDDTY contains evidence based information, articles like this: Sunbathe your diabetes away! are simply mind boggling.
