A general record of my ongoing battle with all forms of nonsense.
Simon campaigns against pseudo-science. Amongst other projects, his current focus is to encourage more people to get active campaigning against dangerous medical misinformation.
He also runs Leicester Skeptics in the Pub, and likes to refer to himself in the third person when writing his profile.

Unbelievable. Wait. No it's not. Nothing surprises me about AltMed any more.
I won complaints against Herbmedic (2003, I think) and Dr & Herbs (2003). Unfortunately, the ASA have deleted old adjudications prior to 2004 from their website. I should have a paper copy somewhere, which I'll upload to my blog. They may be worth referring to, even though it's TS who would deal with a complaint.
Ah! Here's my Herbmedic one:
Finally found my Dr & Herbs adjudication. The ASA have moved some of their old adjudications, but they have linked to it (and my Herbmedic one) on their Therapies: General page on their Copy Advice website, so they must think they are important!
I like the fact that they "welcome your feedback" which I presume they are posting over the walls. Nothing quite like it to illustrate the old adage that the plural of anecdote is not data...
