In a fawning interview extract from Zeno’s blog, the Professor Against Complementary Medicine announces his academic demise and threatens to become “really outspoken” against CAM therapies! HA HA HA HA HA! What really makes me laugh about this latest evidence of his total loss of credibility – as well as his job, which he should [...]

Andy took Champix for only 14 days. 30 months later he is still seriously ill and unable to work, and doctors say he has no hope of compensation. I say that’s criminal.
