Major thoughts and points of the book
  • Described by author as a toilet book.  Is he a little embarrassed by this book release while he writes his next "proper book"?  Bad Science and Bad Pharma are both great.
  • First cd and a bit read by author who then hands over to…hmmm
  • A collection of articles written for The Guardian as well as an essay that won the Roger Hole Essay Prize in Medical Scepticism  in 1998 about Heroin that is a real highlight of the book
  • As a rule I don't like books that are collections from other sources and although not terrible, it is the first book this year that I just want to be over and done with
Topics Include :
  • Epidemiology, Bike helmets, Education, Organic food
  • Great Ormond Street hype - how dare you criticise
  • Use of nude images in NHS  - budget £21 per hospital p/y
  • Magnetic wine ager simple and cheap trial prove it is worthless
  • Why blind random tests are so important
  • Use of random testing – in education and other areas of gov?
  • Government departments and BBC and Newspapers dubious use of data
  • Panaroma, WIFI and Powerwatch being kicked out of science class
  • Libel and drug companies MIST and BCA Chiropractors – curing choli and other ailments Ad Agency breach but able to cry libel
