Great post, thanks for taking the time to expose this hogwash. I am currently suffering with ME/CFS and there is a propensity in the patient community to resort to untested alternative treatments because so far medical science has yet to provide a clearcut answer to the problem, although it is working on it and making great progress in the face of criminal underfunding.

That is the worst part of having this particular condition, as you will often hear people say “well why not just try it”, and in a sense it is hard to argue against this because in most cases the worst outcome you could expect is for there to be no effect at all. When you are ill and seen to be rejecting potentially beneficial interventions then it puts you in a difficult situation.

I think it’s disgraceful how these people are able to operate legally and in some cases are even endorsed by official organisations, it gives them a veneer or legitimacy and allows them to profit relentlessly off of the uninformed and credulous. I refuse to give them a penny as every person who does so is simply contributing to the problem, I applaud your efforts to highlight the pseudo-scientific quackery that is running rampant in our society.

I have a daughter with ME (I dont think it ever leaves you) who was written off by the doctors at 18 and from a possible Netball International to bedridden in a month nothing could be done until we found Magic Mick a Quack? Organic food, supplements, no profit to him but most of all he cared! whatever it worked she’s 90% fit again. My Son however has a thyroid and minor heart problem again the doctors attitude is come back when you are worse so when I saw that a Bionetics test for £48 could possibly show a pathway to a possible good eating and supplement cure I was naturally exited. However if you say that this is all a scam I would appreciate if you would prove this to me (you must have lots of e.mails and maybe better still put me in touch with an honest Quack who might help as the medical profession who we all fund are just not interested. p.s
My sister has just had chemo for her cancer and is not at all well and then I go onto the internet and read that over 70% doctors would not have chemotherapy if they cancer! who do you believe?

Hey guys,

I know alot more people who have been cured, or at worse, in remission, from the use of alternative therapies (psych, herbal, nutritional med) but hardly anyone who have gone down the Western medicine approach. They only treat symptoms and just seem to make people sicker from side effects, reliant on more drugs to treat the problem the first caused. I also know of a few people who have lost their lives due to so-called ‘preventative’ Western meds so I know where the quacks really hang out! My own private GP said that their cures dont work as too limited and prefers to refer to alternative and my NHS GP will always suggest herbs/nutrients before reaching for the prescription pad. Double-blind placebo only works for simple equations like 1+1, the human body and mind is so much more complex than that and will always try to heal itself – it its given half the chance and not bombarded with poisons. I think this test is pretty acurate, I was shocked at how it pinpointed the only B vitamin I lack, B1, (I already knew and tested it as a practitioner).

Gosh, Canard Noir, you sound so bitter. Usually you have lost the argument when you start slinging personal abuse around.

Big Pharma scared by natural healthcare?

They most certainly are. Have you heard of Codex Alimentarius?

Well, you clearly are an idiot as I ask for a private identity and not just a generic Anonymous. You fail to appreciate why.

And your idiocy does not stop there. Please supply your best evidence that 'Big Pharma' is 'terrified' about 'natural healthcare'. Your best evidence. Anything. Or are you just deluded about this?

Nutritional Therapist. Degree Qualified = degree in baloney. To idiotic to realise that though.
