Ladybird "Chiropractic Treatment & English Libel Law"

Check out this superb spoof by Crispian Jago of "Science, Reason and Critical Thinking" blog of the attempt by the British Chiropractic Association (BCA) to bully the critic of some of their wilder and unsubstantiated claims, Simon Singh, into silence by abusing our crazy libel laws.

Personally I would have thought that the book could have been called "Chiropractic Treatment for Dummies" since it is now clear that this is the BCA target audience?

I have had friends with back problems who swear by their Chiropractic. But the wild claims by some "practitioners" that they can cure practically anythings discredits all of them. The behaviour of the British Chiropractic Association is particularly disgraceful.

Check out this post that Britain is being turned into a global laughing stock because of our draconian libel laws.

I will declare an interest.

Chiropractic is based on activating your body's own resources. It is a scientific fact that your brain, spinal cord and nerves control self-maintaining and self-healing functions. Thus, when your nervous system is impaired through injury or stress, tissues and organs throughout the body may begin to function poorly. This is the underlying cause of many health problems.

but most people Eva think that Chiropratic has nothing to do with science.
