Fighting misleading advertising with @zeno001

Over the last three years, the Nightingale Collaboration has given the Advertising Standards Authority possibly their most difficult challenge: curbing the misleading claims made on complementary and alternative therapy websites. As a result, many practitioners have realised their responsibilities and taken down long lists of ‘what homoeopathy can help with…’, ‘how cranio-sacral therapy can cure your baby’s colic’, etc, etc. Some, however, continue to defy the regulator.
But we’ve been using other regulators as well, particularly the medicines regulator, the MHRA, to ensure manufacturers, sellers and advertisers of homoeopathic and herbal medicines comply with the rules, regulations and laws they are supposed to. Then there’s our complaints about claims for cancer treatments that have been dealt with by Trading Standards.
