M.D. vs. quack

Category: BloggingLinksMedicine & HealthPseudoscience
Posted on: July 28, 2007 9:49 AM, by Mo

Earlier this week, I posted an email I received about a nutritional supplement called EM Power Plus. The makers of this product, a Canadian company called TrueHope, claim that it can alleviate the symptoms of bipolar disorder.  

In the comments to that post, PalMD, author of the WhiteCoatUnderground blog, is having what appears to be an on-going debate with Peter Helgason, the quack who emailed me.

Update: PalMD has written about the miracle cure.

Rather than continue to monopolize your bytes, I did a quick article on him on the blog. Thanks for fighting the good fight, and I hope you don't mind if I keep dropping by to put in my 2 cents (given to me by Big Pharma to do such things).

As I say in the other thread, I'm happy to have such a lively debate on my blog. Feel free to comment whenever you want to.
