The Daily Telegraph reported:
Simon Singh expected to arouse controversy when he claimed that chiropracters knowingly promoted bogus treatments for illnesses including asthma and ear infections. The bestselling author and Bafta-winning broadcaster did not, however, expect to have a High Court writ issued against him.
The British Chiropractic Association is suing him for his comments. In his book Trick or Treat, written with Edzard Ernst, he proivdes a scientific anlayisis of alternative medicine.
I wish Simon all the best in court. More on this story can be found here.

I love FACTS. Not the Federation Against Copyright Theft (though I don’t dislike it, apart from its irritatingly obtrusive and unavoidable adverts on my legally acquired DVDs) but actual facts. I love the presentation of information that is clearly, unavoidably and sometimes interestingly true.
They also expect you to pay for the call for doing them a favour for illegal copyright infringement. So with you on that.
Simon has his right to say what he wants to say but he must be careful on that. Because he might have a problem on what he has said about chiropractor.
I was very impressed and felt had to get a valuable experience after reading your article. I will learn more and I’ll try to implement. thanks for sharing. Brighton MI Chiropractor Brighton MI Chiropractic
