- With all this scrutiny going around regarding Reflexology claims in the EU, when you watch this what do you think?
Do you agree or disagree?
The ASA is stopping complementary therapists from advertising. They have censored us from even mentioning any medical condition on our websites and will not acknowledge benefit for more than a handful of conditions ignoring NHS, NICE and World Health Organisation Evidence. They have also 'banned' patient testimonials. This is unacceptable censorship and a serious threat to natural medicine which has helped millions worldwide. Sign the petition on the following link and lets do something about it!
Beware what you claim, the Advertising Standards Authority is on the look out!
Another decision upheld by the authority concerned a website advertisement for Wonderful Works promoting the benefits of reflexology.
The website stated "some uses for reflexology we have done include but not limited to: diabetes ... cancer (all types) and breast cancer.''
The complainant said there was no evidence to support the claims made.
The complaints board said the advertisement contained unrealistic outcomes and exaggerated claims that were likely to mislead or deceive consumers and ordered the advertisement ordered to be removed.

have you been trained to believe you can cure diseases with Reflexology? "Current attempts at regulation have exposed these contradictions. The Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (or OfQuack, as they are affectionately known) has a Code of Conduct which forbids alternative therapists making claims without evidence. Blogger Simon Perry complained about every single reflexologist on the register, on the day they joined, if they were claiming to treat things like arthritis, infertility, babies with colic, and so on. All were told off, but the CNHC decided that fitness to practice was not impaired, because their reflexology expert said that the practitioners would have honestly believed their claims to be reasonable, since they would have been trained to believe that they could treat these diseases."http://www.badscience.net/2010/02/how-do-you-regulate-wu/
Στην Αγγλία "αυτός" τους τσίμπησε με την χρήση ενός προγράμματος. Εθελοντικός έλεγχος (voluntary regulation) φα'τηνα τώρα, happy?
