Pretty neat.
Special Report from John Gray and Lynne McTaggart
Blah blah blah some personal interest filler to start. Words appear in scare quotes. 'Treatment'. 'Brain' conditions. This must be the evidence since nothing else appears apart from a couple of anecdotes.
"Then it dawned on me". Tried looking for this in the Hierarchy of Evidence, couldn't find it.
"As John began researching." Couldn't find Method section for Systematic Review.
Some boasting about having sold a lot of Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus books. McDonald's sell a lot of cheeseburgers, but they aren't good.
And we're at the end of the article. Double checked no pages had fallen out in post, can confirm page numbers are consecutive. Where is the data?
On an interesting side note, John Gray, what a guy. As the page 3 intro says, John Gray PhD. A correspondence PhD, From Columbia Pacific University. An unaccredited non-traditional school which was closed down by a California court in 2000. A school where it is possible to get in with a Bachelors in Science of Creative Intelligence, as Gray did. A school where you can get a distance PhD in 12 months, where you can submit a thesis in a language your assessors can't read, or not submit one at all as long as you sign a contract promising to study at some later time. And even if he did have a proper education and publishing history, so what? Why a report from one guy? The lure of the lone genius is the lure of the conspiracy theorist.
More to follow.
WDDTY October 2014
I have been sent the October 2014 issue of What Doctors Don't Tell You by a fellow leftist hoping to win me over to the magazine :) I opened it to pages 2 and 3, splurged my thoughts onto here, got tired and went to bed. The rest will follow in due course.
Page 2, an advert for "High performance Vitamin C" from Abundance & Health (www.abundanceandhealth.co.uk). Goes on about being bioavailable, sugar and gluten free, suitable for Paleo, Zone and Vegan diets. Then says "may support optimal overall health", which is equivalent to saying "probably doesn't work". The one truly important bit of info is the bit missing. But it does have a pic of a happy family running towards the camera in cool pastel clothing, the sort of advertising that WDDTY readers would find laughable from big pharma or McDonalds.
Brushes over the morality of piracy, but still, good lecture. Yochai Benkler: Open-source economics:
He doesn't dissuade me of my utilitarianism, but I do agree on the arguments for public space, and for public morality. Michael J Sandel: Lord Patten Lecture on Social R…:

Barack Obama defends internet surveillance programs
"I came in with a healthy scepticism" - I was voted in to close Gitmo, end the wars, scale back surveillance and prosecute fewer whistleblowers.
"My team evaluated them" - A small group of special interests decided on your behalf, using reasons you can't know
"We're going to have to make some choices as a society" - By we I mean me, and those choices must be made after the thing I've already done
"In the abstract you can complain about Big Brother and how this is a potential program run amuck, but when you actually look at the details . . ." - which I will not provide you. I will, however, prosecute anyone else who does provide them.

Democracy Now! returns to Chicago, site of the largest NATO summit in the organizationâs six-decade history, where nearly 50 veterans discarded their war medals by hurling them down the street in the direction of the NATO summit. We hear the soldiersâ voices as they return their medals one by one from the stage. "Iâm here to return my Global War on Terror Service Medal in solidarity with the people of Iraq and the people of Afghanistan," said Jason Hurd, a former combat medic who spent 10 years in the U.S. Army. "I am deeply sorry for the destruction that we have caused in those countries and around the globe." Scott Kimball, an Iraq war veteran, adds: "For all the servicemembers and veterans who are against these wars, you are not alone!"
