Wow.
Someone gave me a copy of Singh's book for Christmas 2008 and it was only a few weeks later that I became aware that the shit was hitting the fan & things were looking pretty bad for him.
The whole kerfuffle about what "bogus" meant was bonkers, but I think it demonstrates how critical word choice can be.
I think it's terribly amusing that the BCA's attack on Singh is now backfiring on them big time.
The folks at Skeptics Guide to the Universe have been following this closely & have been very vocal supporters of Singh. I bet they are wetting their pants with glee over this news.
I've had some very inappropriate care from chiropractors, and have heard a chiropractor advocate chiropractice for illnesses for which there is absolutely no documentation that it's effective. There ratio of charlatans, even well-meaning ones, is far too high. There are some skilled, effective chiropractors, but I've had trouble finding one amongst the bogus.
