i think it is worth juxtaposing this post with a copy of this 2001 document of the Insurance Bureau of Canada IBC TO LAUNCH NEW HEALTH CARE GUIDE...
Doesn't this episode show what is wrong with the "scientific" literature? Repeated mistakes of this nature would not occur if people were going...
To revert to the question of SW's lecture on an unknown date and the suggestions of involvement with the Canadian insurance industry, this...
I forgot to add thatthis discovery of Cott's association with Prisma Health makes it important to discover what, exactly, was the Prisma to which...
I have found a little more to add to that. In the course of researching my new found interest in Arthur Cott and the Behavioural Medicine Centre...
The trouble with Gerrada's article is that the fact that a complaint was made against her father is not very good evidence of professional...

Have the fingerprints of the SMC yet been found? He is clearly not organising this media access without assistance, even allowing for the...
Does that not say it all? Weren't Wessely and Chalder studying for master's degrees in 1988?
It seems strange for a Professor of the LSTM to believe that because he thinks his own symptoms were due to hypochondriasis, therefore everybody...
Isn't mitochondrial DNA inherited from the mother? In so far as these disorders may be inherited, is there any indication of inheritance down the...
Thanks for this post @Arvo and the ones on the other thread. I am trying to assimilate this new information. It is taking time. I wonder whether...
