Oh - We've Got It: Nothing About The World Of NewAge Will Ever Look The Same After That!!!

"For the most part we’ve been interested in the intellectual and cultural consequences of bad science, the made-up facts in national newspapers, dubious academic practices in universities, some foolish pill-peddling, and so on. But what happens if we take these sleights of hand, these pill-marketing techniques, and transplant them out of our decadent Western context into a situation where things really matter?"

-- Ben Goldacre, who sounds like he's about to tell of TMR's own experience with NewAge murder, but (instead of talking about "Dr." Robert Wohlfahrt) Goldacre goes on and on about the totally unimportant story of his lawsuit with a European quack in Africa who was spreading AIDS to millions of equally unimportant black people - or something - but all using really Bad Science.
