Wikipedia is guilty of a nasty bias in many of its articles?

How?

Why?

Read on and despair!

Wikipedia was such a good idea but it turns out to be just another propaganda machine for vested interests, dubious no necks and big business!

With this in mind, most people dealing with this issue, attempt to mitigate the problem by understanding that all knowledge is `situated‘ knowledge, and that all judgments come from a particular standpoint. This means that it is understood that no one can claim to be 100% ‘neutral’ or ‘objective’, and that there are always power struggles involved when someone claims to be `objective` (especially whilst engaging in partisan behaviour).

One Click seems to me to be a bunch of paranoid zealots. And I  will state again that before I tried to tone down the shit they put on the Wessely page I had never heard of them or Simon Wessely.

Through the late Eighties into the early Nineties, Martin J. Walker worked as an investigator for lawyers in criminal and civil cases and with defendants – with and without lawyers. In the late 1980s he co-founded Hackney Community Defense Association (HCDA), a group which worked on the defense of people assaulted, fitted up and wrongfully arrested by the police in north east London . See earlier blog on Martin J Walker where he exposes Ben Goldacre and Dirty Medicine.

Len Horowitz and Sherri Kane report on secret CIA and FBI counter intelligence operations to disrupt internet websites criticising governments as well as on the role of Wikipedia in these “black ops” – there is no smoke without fire.

Quackbusters Are Busted!

Though they seem to have more lives than a cat, it seems likely that Quackbusters will be down for the count.

Gore Vidal on Youtube reveals all – how the media is lazy, and not used to investigating anything  or getting to the heart of matters….

Those who want to investigate life don’t go in for journalism because journalists are not able to investigate anything…. it’s all fiction – a con act – and the media obey bigger, richer interests than those of the public, who they often hold in contempt…

The truth is ‘irrelevant’ and ‘everybody lies’…

What they do is whatever is their transgression, whatever are their faults, they lie and apply it to the other person. That confuses everything….

Commemorating 200 years since the publication of the 1st Organon, this essay analyses the content and evolution of what is widely regarded as Samuel Hahnemann‘s masterwork.

Next year, 2011 will mark the 200 years since the publication of Samuel Hahnemann‘s Materia Medica Pura, the companion volume to the Organon.

Peter Morrell writes a careful and considered reflection on the times and influences that gave birth to Samuel Hahnemann‘s courageous new medical science of homeopathy, which has and continues to upset the apple cart of orthodox thinking across the World.

The extraordinary diligence of Samuel Hahnemann must be wondered at, his conscience that caused him to walk out of dangerous, but extremely lucrative orthodox medicine; his morality that caused him to reflect deeply on what it really means to heal, as opposed to harm his patients; his intellect that would not allow him to utter false dogma; and the difficult and testing times surrounding the birth of homeopathy are coolly considered.

Peter Morrell is a renowned homeopathic historian who has spent his life researching Samuel Hahnemann and his times, and this essay is a joy to all who love truth, history and homeopathy.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was once asked by a reporter what he thought about western civilization, and in light of the uncivilized treatment by the British government of his nonviolent actions, he immediately replied, “Western civilization? Yes, it is a good idea.”

Likewise, if he were asked what he thought about “scientific medicine,” he would probably have replied in a similar manner. (Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was a staunch advocate of homeopathy), Read the rest of this entry »

Doctors today commonly assert that they practice “scientific medicine,” and patients think that the medical treatments they receive are “scientifically proven.” However, this ideal is a dream, not reality, and a clever and profitable marketing ruse, not fact. Read the rest of this entry »

Does the campaign against CAM indicate that powerful factions feel threatened?

A complacent CAM world has been slow to collect supporting data, but the waning of big pharma’s once unassailable economic and clinical dominance may be a significant motivator for some who oppose integration.

With biotech innovation slowing down, and adverse event scandals and research irregularities, users are distrusting flagship revenue producing medications.

As healthcare policy reshapes mainstream medicine we will need to understand the forces ranged against integrated medicine…. Read the rest of this entry »

Our military thinking and our medical thinking have a surprising amount in common. It isn’t just happenstance that doctors proudly assert that they seek to attack illness, combat disease, kill infectious agents and create a war on cancer or on any disease.

Physicians seem so stuck in this medical mindset of militaristic thinking that it isn’t surprising—they have a long history of attacking other viable strategies that seem to be less medical or less militaristic. Read the rest of this entry »
