I've currently got 56 complaints logged with the GCC, but knowing that they rule against Chiropractors rather than practices I did not want to report practices with more than one chiropractor in case it made things complicated. Maybe this was wrong.Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14195003492084088327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5959094372836804855.post-25455009397267560502009-07-26T21:20:02.847-07:002009-07-26T21:20:02.847-07:00It is noticible how many of these now couch it in ...It is noticible how many of these now couch it in terms of "some evidence" and "research". Others are still unapologetic <br /><br />The GCC will accept complaints about these clinics - just lodge a complaint about each individual chiropractor listed by the clinic. The GCC code requires that any publicity on their behalf be ASA compliant, so each individual is in breach of the code. Zeno's 524 chiropractor complaint was done on this basis. <br /><br />I think it is worth complaining about these sites, especially those not using weakening modifiers, because a) many of them are hard core quackery pushers and b) Zeno's complaint is more general, asking for evidence for all claims, whereas these claims have been specifically rejected by the ASA. I am not in the U.K. so I can't lodge a complaint myself.davidphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06058558502885513909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5959094372836804855.post-88835208987933018662009-07-25T05:37:06.825-07:002009-07-25T05:37:06.825-07:00@Dale Williams.

Wow!<br /><br />And how useless would our bodily structures have to be if they could be manipulated using the pressure used to test a ripe tomato? Seriously? We'd be like rag dolls falling apart at every touch. Just hugging your baby could be lethal!<br /><br />I wonder who carries out the spinal manipulation on all those poor creatures born, perfectly naturally, in the wild?Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08026511553591079915noreply@blogger.com
