		<description>my god that is the most poorly cobbled together argument I have read since leaving primary school. badly written, badly constructed, littered with inuendo and just emabarrasing really... 

can you really expect us to sit and read a sentence like...

&quot;Basically, if you think about it, this should resonate deeply with your understanding of life and diseases and you should know this to be true. If you just sit with the above statement that’s all you need to know and understand. The consequences are then obvious.&quot;

...and take you seriously?

Even Paul McKenna would struggle keeping a straight face with that one!

Keep up the good work Mr Chappell, a few more years reading drivel like this and even that moron at Buckingham Palace will begin to doubt.

And to think we waste taxes on this. 

I think an effective test would be too infect them all with leprosy and see who made it to the chemist!</description>

		<description>I am reminded of Wolfgang Pauli&#039;s comment &#039;It isn&#039;t right. It isn&#039;t even wrong.&#039;
The advantage of conventional pharmacology is that you don&#039;t have to suspend the simple laws of arithmetic. In pharmacokinetics when it comes to molecules you do a reverse Brian Hanrahan &#039;you count them in and you count them out&#039;. For homeopathy, on the other hand, less is more.

It&#039;s funny that when it comes to money no homeopath seems to want to abandon simple arithmetic. I often say I have no objection to homeopaths as long as they are paid a homeopathic salary. And what about the ecological damage they are causing whenever any of their medicine is disposed of down the loo? It&#039;s shaken, it&#039;s diluted, there&#039;s more of it getting more potent. The fish of the sea must be as high as a hippy at Glastonbury. It&#039;s about time Greenpeace looked at these cowboys.</description>

		<description>Oh, and BTW, this from his website:
&quot;While we have no proof in scientific terms that the AIDS treatment is effective, in practice it is very reliable and thousands of people have recovered and we supply this treatment FREE through the Amma Resonance Healing Foundation.&quot;

Hmm..encouraging.  I really wish there were a hell.</description>

		<description>I stopped reading after this: &quot;Typically of this good science/good medicine is the Merck Manual of Diseases which is online and gives a list of all the so-called chronic diseases of the body. You will find two factors commonly in almost every description of every physical disease, no known cause and no known cure. This is what good science has to say about diseases! There will be 2000 to 5000 words about the disease but these two expressions, no known cause and no known cure, will normally be there.&quot;

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!  I&#039;ve been a physician for a number of years, and that statement is, well, a lie.  A damned lie, really.  I wish there were a Hell for this quack to rot in, but as a second alternative, perhaps he could get acute myelogenous leukemia with the typical Philadelphia chromosome translocation and try treating himself.  No need for the STAT protein inhibitor Gleevec which was designed based on the KNOWN mechanism of the illness and is capable of inducing complete response.  Nah...let him have some water instead.</description>

		<description>Do you have any idea how homeopathy works??  I suggest you brush up on the science behind it.  There is a great book out by Richard Gerber, M.D. on energy medicine called &quot;Vibrational Medicine: The #1 Handbook of Subtle-Energy Therapies&quot;.

Anyone with a brain can see that allopaths treat symptoms and not the cause of a disease.</description>

		<description>According to this man&#039;s &quot;reasoning&quot;, getting run over by lorries is infectious.  So don&#039;t go near anyone who&#039;s been hit by a lorry: you might catch it.</description>

		<description>This piece starts with a complete failure to understand the words &quot;chronic&quot; and &quot;epidemic&quot;.

So one question that might come to mind is how come chronic diseases are epidemic diseases which means they are infectious? And if so how are they infectious? While you may not know, for example, that some breast cancers have an 80% certainty of occurring in the female children of the mother who has it, you must know that generally chronic disease processes run in families. Isn’t that proof enough that they are epidemic?

This is garbage on so many levels. Logically, factually and grammatically diseased.</description>

		<description>As I think some people have touched on, the thing that most worries me is how stupid, how incompetent this guy is, not just with language but with argument and concepts. The content of what he is saying is good old fashioned quackery, but it amazes me people could trust someone who is so clearly an idiot. This paragraph in prticular encapsulated all the flaws in his thinking neatly for me:

&quot;Of course the idea that there was good and bad science is very naive and a primitive form of psychology. You are good and I am bad is three-year-old psychology. Just because a president of the United States uses it does not infer that it is grown up language. Such prejudices infer that the person has not read a single philosopher such as David Hume.&quot;

Where to start? Firstly the language: why &#039;was&#039; and not &#039;is&#039;? Why would anyone argue &#039;YOU are good and I am bad&#039;, not the other wa round? As has been mentioned before, infer and imply are confused twice.

If these sound like petty complaints, well, they are, but they indicate a wider problem with him, further demonstrated by his arguments - firstly assuming that because Ben writes &#039;bad science&#039; he has a black and white view of things and that this is childish, when if he&#039;d read or listened to Ben speak he&#039;d have seen measured argument and an acceptance that homepathic remedies can have a placebo effect which is ver beneficial, as well as criticism of Big Pharma on occasions. Then the infantile and nonsensical Bush bashing, as if scientists only decided to criticise homeopathy when Bush invaded Iraq. Finally he desperately crowbars David Hume into the whole sorry mess, which I simply have no explanation for.

All of it, the misjudged political and literary references, the faulty logic, the smash and grab raid on the English language to find &#039;clever&#039; words and never mind what they mean; it all smacks of a seriously underpar intellect trying to paper over the cracks with arrogance, a bad thesaurus and sentences so long and loopy he hopes nobody as the time to read them thouroughly. So if you think about it, it&#039;s hardly likely he&#039;d have a sensible medical idea in his head either.</description>

		<description>#28, I hear where you&#039;re coming from  Mark, but I should have mentioned in my post that a lot of my frustration with him comes from being bipolar myself (I know about the gene study because myself and some members of my family were asked to take part in it). He&#039;s a young guy and I don&#039;t want to give him the numbers on how lithium becomes less effective with each stop and restart cycle. He&#039;s bipolar 2 which may make things easier for him. I&#039;m not a doctor so  I have no place interfering anyway. I just have a horror of him making himself ill. I&#039;m atypical BP1 which means I take my meds because I don&#039;t get those nice clean go-shopping-yay-isn&#039;t-life-great highs. Just mixed states and psychosis, and it took 5 years to find a mix that worked. That&#039;s why people like Chappell infuriate me so. If music files helped I&#039;d never have to take a pill again. I love jazz. Or maybe that just means I&#039;ll never get AIDS, according to his logic. But if it comes to that, surely Coltrane and Monk had higher mojo than he could ever have? I know I&#039;m being silly, but sometimes you just have to laugh.</description>

		<description>Aw crap, he&#039;s based in the Czech Republic, presumably for Trading-Standards-avoidance purposes:

http://www.peterchappell.com/contact.php

However, whois reports that his site is administered in the UK:

Domain name: peterchappell.com

Does this mean we could make a complaint to Dorset Trading Standards about a Cancer Act breach?

Anybody have any experience doing this sort of thing? It&#039;s Friday and I&#039;m happy to bash out a letter in my lunch hour if the consensus is that it&#039;s worth the effort.

		<description>First comment for me here.

I have CLL - that&#039;s Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia for everybody but Ben, and non-medics.

I beg to differ with the numpty who says that there is no such thing as chronic disease.  Ask my consultant.

I love pointing out these pages to people too.  There tends to be a number of nutritionist, alternative treehugging types hanging around in various forums (Fora?) that I delight in pointing in this direction.</description>
