TEIL 3

4. The Campaign Against Health Fraud
by Martin Walker MA

Using UK Skeptic and the CSICOP journal, both a long way from being 'peer-review' publications, health-fraud activists were able to publish unreferenced stories.

At that time, soon after the press launch, the leading Campaign activists were Dr Nick Beard; Dr Christopher Bass, a psychiatrist and committee member of the British Association for the Advancement of Science; Dr Simon Wessely; Professor Michael Baum and his brother Professor Harold Baum, Professor of Biochemistry at King's College Hospital; Diana Brahams, barrister and journalist; John Walford; Mark Pownall; Dr lain Chalmers; Dr Vincent Marks and Duncan Campbell.
....It might strictly have been true, but as the majority of the early core activists had some financial connection with Wellcome, as well as other companies, or worked in projects funded by the pharmaceutical industry, the exact source of their corporate funds is relatively unimportant.

The British Health Fraud Philosophy
The modern health fraud philosophy is extensive and complex, but not really a philosophy, more a series of post hoc defensive arguments for orthodox medicine. At the heart of these assumptions is a simple equation: anything which challenges the monopoly hold of the chemical companies on food production and pharmaceuticals, the professional status of doctors, or the ruling paradigms of industrial technology should be attacked.

5. The Pseudoscience Of Professor Simon Wessely
Pesticides in our bodies
Something nasty in the woodshed
5 March 2008
Bettine Olive….
Whatever you do, if you have been harmed by pesticides, dioxins or other nasty chemicals, don't go there for a diagnosis. You might still be told that the symptoms you are suffering are solely in your mind. That you have somatized. That is, the symptoms, although real, have been caused by your mind.
...
According to Wessely, sheep farmers who were legally forced to dip their sheep twice a year in OPs, are ill now because of psychological problems. That the many veterans of the Gulf War, some of whom have died, who suffer from GWS because of their exposure to chemicals, including OP pesticides that were sprayed directly on them in their tents, are suffering, not from OP poisoning, but from 'hysteria' (an old term for somatization). That these veterans have really nasty symptoms merely because they heard of other Gulf War soldiers suffering similar symptoms. Also, all those citizens at Camelford who drank tap water that had been poisoned with twenty tons of a chemical cocktail - including aluminium sulphate - tipped into the supply by mistake by a worker - developed MCS, not because of chemical poisoning, but because they were suggestible and merely believed that they have MCS.

None of his opinions were, or are, backed up by any kind of scientific proof or testing; they are merely opinions based on prejudice. Now, why should a Prof. in the medical field be prejudiced? Easy. Just offer a big enough grant for scientific research, and you will get the answers you are looking for, nicely cloaked in pseudo scientific language to be publicised so loudly that the good, independent scientists are not heard.

If you read the book .... written by Martin J. Walker and published by Slingshot publications in 2003, you will see that the above is true, together with indisputable facts to prove it.

Erheben Sie sich, Sir Simon
von Margaret Williams vom 29. Dezember 2012

Ist es nicht merkwürdig – oder gar bestürzend –, dass solche Ehren einem Psychiater zuteil werden, dessen Überzeugungen und dessen Lehrmeinung mit den veröffentlichten Erkenntnissen der Wissenschaft nicht übereinstimmen und dessen Überzeugungen auf so zwingende Weise widerlegt wurden?

Sense About Science is none of what it claims. It is not independent, it is not charitable, and the term trust must surely be a joke. It is a well-funded lobbying group for some of the most environmentally destructive and health destroying industries the world has ever seen.
