Sadly I was unable to write about him at the time that book was initially published, as he was suing my ass in the High Court. The chapter is now available in the new paperback edition, and I&#8217;ve posted it here for free so [...]]]></description>

For those who don&#8217;t remember, Matthias Rath is the German vitamin entrepreneur who sells his proprietary vitamin pills to people dying of AIDS in South Africa instead of antiretroviral medication, spreading the message that AIDS [...]]]></description>

They&#8217;re not very impressed in Africa by his claim that vitamin C is better than AZT, and Holford seems a bit conflicted over it himself. Here&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

Look, I realise this is beginning to feel like one of those big containers where the Americans play Britney at you over and over again until you confess to crimes you haven&#8217;t committed. I&#8217;m totally ready to move on from nutritionists. But Patrick Holford yesterday found his way on to [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m not a complicated man &#8211; as my girlfriend could happily tell you &#8211; but I do get a bit worried about these stories I&#8217;ve been emailed, where African people say something stupid about the science of Aids and we all laugh at them.

If you think the nutritionists and vitamin peddlers in the UK are weird, you really want to go to South Africa, where President Thabo Mbeki has a long history of siding with the HIV denialists, who believe that HIV does not cause Aids (but that treatments for it do), and [...]]]></description>

What happens if you transplant western ideas like nutritionism, and anti-vaccination panics, into a developing world context? Unfortunately thatâ€™s not a thought experiment. Between 600 and 800 people die every day in South Africa from HIV/AIDS, and their government was roundly criticised at last weeks International AIDS conference in Toronto.

Â· And so to Africa, where there are &#8220;complementary and alternative medicine&#8221; practitioners pursuing the fashionable attack on mainstream medicine, just like in the UK. Take Matthias Rath and the Rath Foundation vitamin empire: they&#8217;ve been running advertising campaigns in newspapers and poster campaigns near HIV/Aids treatment centres, telling [...]]]></description>
