Starship Doctors slammed
Hilary Butler - Sunday, October 31, 2010
In the Sunday Star Times today, Judge David McNaughton delivered a swift message to Starship doctors about predictive and substandard medical care, and the presumption of guilt without good cause. The Judge found Famaile Lino not guilty of abusing his six month old child after Starship jumped to conclusions, and robustly defended their own preconceived mindsets. The L...
Twenty-five years plus is quite a long time....
Hilary Butler - Saturday, October 02, 2010
(By Peter Butler) Especially when it's been spent dealing with issues and systems governed by engrained mindsets, and heavily influenced by huge vested interests more interested in profits, than making available all of the facts ...without restriction; or providing customized care to unique individuals, rather than trying to fit everyone into their "one-size-fits-all" moulds.

Pertussis epidemic? Or Media induced malady?.
Hilary Butler - Thursday, September 23, 2010
What epidemic? "Numbers have been on the rise since June this year, but they really spiked up in August," said Dr Alison Roberts, of the Ministry of Health' ... Hiding behind the word "epidemic", as a scare tactic, Alison Roberts continues: "We have been expecting an epidemic around now. New Zealand has a whooping cough epidemic every four to five years, and the last one started in 1999." ...
A Flippant Flip could be fatal
Hilary Butler - Wednesday, September 22, 2010
By Peter Butler. This website provides you with two “clicking” options, representing two people and two different perspectives – HILARY’S DESK and OUT OF THE MOULD. I suppose you could say that it is two sides of the RRMT “coin”. It is not a case of which side is more important.
Both are needed equally to make the “whole”. If you ...
A Blessing or a "Curse"?
Hilary Butler - Wednesday, September 22, 2010
By Peter Butler. Here is the follow up to “VOICES AND CHOICES”.
I make no apology for returning to a topic which I believe is absolutely crucial in everybody’s lifestyle.
Most of us would agree that the ability to exercise freedom of choice is a fundamental human right. It plays a big part in our uniqueness (See “Facts many People Prefer to Ignore”) but it ...
Voices and choices by Peter Butler
Hilary Butler - Wednesday, September 22, 2010
When I wrote our home education curriculum it incorporated what I consider an essential foundation stone. A lifestyle must surely include the integration of every aspect of daily living. You cannot put different issues into little boxes with an appropriate label, and then apply differing standards and values to their implementation. To do so will produce inconsistencies, double standards and hy...
SYNO and GONow, where did you hear that before?
Hilary Butler - Tuesday, September 21, 2010
I was a gutless wonder once. For the last 21 years of my first 28 years, I was a coward. How is that, you might ask?
Well, until I was seven, I wasn’t a gutless wonder. Born In Scotland and raised by aupair girls with a gaelic granny on their days off, my first 5 years were relatively stable. I was, after all, just a child.
Then circumstance brought us to New Zealand, without au pair gi...
Professor Hemila shocks Sciblogs into silence.
Hilary Butler - Wednesday, September 08, 2010
Professor Hemila quite rightly asks sciblogs why they blethered on about mice and cancer instead of actually DOING a literature review on vitamin C and Pneumonia.... Did Sciblogs... actually put their brains into gear? Professor Hemila's Finnish website is the BEST place on internet to find early and more recent published medical information...
The Irony of Professor Roger Short
Hilary Butler - Wednesday, September 08, 2010
Professor Roger Short was Janet McIntyre’s premier “expert” for her “wonder drug” programme. It would seem that 80 year old veterinarian, Professor Roger Short, has a major bee in his bonnet, which filtered out in his enthusiastic endorsement of the pill to solve the world’s global warming problem... which is... far too many people.
Two months before t...
Facts many people prefer to ignore.
Hilary Butler - Tuesday, September 07, 2010
(Written by Peter) How easy it is to fail to heed the significance of essential facts. The seriousness of this causes me to return once against to a statement I have made on many occasions especially when I have been talking to people.
Setting aside all the complexities that seem to permeate the screeds of material dealing with this theme, let me identify it in a very simple straightforward st...
On the matter of Dr Anthony J Morris.
Hilary Butler - Saturday, September 04, 2010
On the matter of Dr Anthony J Morris, my verdict on the research skills of the non-skeptics is quite simple.
I have known Dr Morris personally since 1984, so can say straight up, that PALMD, the practicising internist from the Great Lakes region of the USA, (PALMD's vitriole, pdf'd and uploaded here - just in case he tries to ever deny he said this) has research skills as useless as a mate o...
Non-Evidence based Medicine: Part Two
Hilary Butler - Friday, September 03, 2010
How much medicine is actually ‘evidence based?” Nineteen years go, in a British Medical article called “Where is the wisdom?” the opening paragraph contained this information:
“There are perhaps 30,000 biomedical journals in the world and they have grown steadily by 7 % a year…”
(Just think how many there are now!)
“… yet only about...
Skeptics Part Four. Fever is there for a reason
Hilary Butler - Thursday, September 02, 2010
Not that' you'd know with what many medical articles call both medical and parental "fever-phobia"! What other explanation can there be to the fact that not one person in the skeptics or the medical profession questions the use of drugs to squelch fever? Or even the function of fever?
Oh yeah. There could be another explanation. You know, the one which SKEPTICS normally suggest is ...
Skeptics Part Two: "Some suggested pamol"
Hilary Butler - Tuesday, August 31, 2010
Why would any real skeptic suggest pamol as a treatment to reduce fever? It’s standard medical practice, and has been used for decades, and THEREFORE, according to skeptics, is ASSUMED to be the truth.
There is no doubt paracetamol “works” by reducing fever. But does the word “proven” solely relate to whether a product does what the label says it will do? What abo...
A wake-up call: Why fighting for your family matters
Hilary Butler - Sunday, August 22, 2010
It never ceases to amaze me, when people who put themselves out as scientists, display woeful researching skills, and appear not to hear what is said on programmes they criticise. Peter Griffin at Sciblogs had this to say about the 60 Minutes documentary “Living Proof”. Amongst his various ramblings, he misses the fact that experts were asked to comment.. but ref...
"Refusal" to vaccinate
Hilary Butler - Saturday, July 24, 2010
While the medical profession has finally caught on, that the more "educated" a parent makes themselves on the issues around vaccination, the more likely they are to chose not to vaccinate, they are utterly offended that people can chose not to vaccinate. Furthermore, their take on the issue of "choice" is off the wall. Their solution to parents not making the 'right' choic...
Big Pharma systemic corruption
Hilary Butler - Friday, June 11, 2010
Systemic rot in Pfizer has got too deep for the authorities to turn a blind eye to any more. Pfizer has paid censured experts to educate doctors, has illegal ghost-writing practices; been warned about significant violations in paediatric trials of Geodon, was found guilty of pushing Neurontin for illegal purposes: tried to force NEMJ to hand over peer review comments... , t...
When in a hole, stop digging, wouldn'tya think?
Hilary Butler - Sunday, June 06, 2010
Why doesn't the World Health Organisation stop making fools of themselves? As reported in the Washington Post two European reports have been very critical of the WHO's handling of the swine flu pandemic. WHO's reply? "The idea that we declared a pandemic when there wasn't a pandemic is both historically inaccurate and downright irresponsible," said WHO spokesman Gregory Hartl in a telephon...
Michael J Smith’s study should be withdrawn.
Hilary Butler - Thursday, May 27, 2010
Following on from my previous two posts here, and here, I decided to dig just a wee bit deeper. Why? Because there was one sentence in Michael J Smith’s study which I couldn’t work out. It was this: "Finally, our analyses were limited to publicly available data from the original study. Future VSD studies without this restriction would be able to assess a wider range of outcomes...
