ANH eBlast: “Kangaroo Courtsâ€: The new means to bash alternative views

on healthcare?

 

It is becoming increasingly apparent that it is entirely acceptable these

days for people with no adequate expertise and with prior agendas to throw

their weight around in what can only be described as ‘kangaroo courts’.

Their mission? To bash alternative approaches to healthcare to oblivion.

They go in to bat with their pre-meditated specific agenda, one that was

sufficiently well-known to others to make them ideally suited for selection

as a member of the 'jury'. Or their selection might have been handed to

them given their position of influence and they would then be required to

follow the required line. Sometimes these 'kangaroo courts' succeed perfectly

in achieving the objectives established by those who have willed them into

existence. The bigger the stakes are, it seems, the more likely they are to

succeed.

This is exactly what has happened in the case of Dr Andrew Wakefield, the

British doctor that has been, perhaps less out of choice and more as a

result of fate, at the heart of international concerns over possible links

between the MMR vaccine and autism. The sustained two-year investigation by a

panel of the UK medical practitioners' regulator, the General Medical

Council, triggered by a newspaper journalist, can only be described as a

witch-hunt. _Read our feature_

id=973a183ced & e=f01ba9c11d) on what, to our

knowledge, is the longest hearing in UK medical history.

This small GMC panel, including lay representatives, has sought to find

any possible argument to construct a case that can give it the basis to label

Dr Wakefield as " dishonest " , accuse him of professional misconduct and

subsequently discredit any idea, theory or finding he has ever put his name

to.

Homeopathy is another area that has come under sustained and even

escalating abuse. This time the abusers, again in the UK, form a motley crew of

hired hands who are strongly pro-pharma and have a history of hatred of

homeopathy. In a recent series of UK Parliamentary 'evidence checks', well

known

anti-homeopathy figures, including _Dr Ben Goldacre_

can homeopathy once and for all. _See the action_

You'll notice a remarkable demonstration of premeditated, skeptical views, a

fear of understanding things about which a mechanism has not yet been

elucidated, and a bald denial of existing, published evidence on efficacy. The

irony is that this amounts to 'bad science', the very thing anti-natural

medicine journalist _Goldacre_

want to abolish!

The attacks on alternative forms of medicine will continue. Maintaining

persistent objection to the pressure from such 'kangaroo courts' and exposing

the lack of justice they offer, is a necessity for those of us looking to

ensure alternative approaches to healthcare, that challenge the orthodoxy,

are not railroaded to the sidelines. Please do what you can to communicate

this message widely.
