This little miracle can diagnose over 100,000 illnesses, none of which in reality exist, and then prescribe the 'correct' homeopathic remedy, e.g. water...
COMPLETE BLOODY INSANITY!!!'
And yet there was much more like this.
He didn't respond to me.
After complaining to the RCVS, and waiting a little while. Then a little while longer.... After twelve months, the RCVS finally (lost emails, lost will to live) got into motion and sent my queries to this charlatan, and he finally responded to me!
He unfortunately did not answer even one query, but set out on a four page diatribe slinging personal insults at me. After concluding that I was both an extremist zealot and a dinosaur, he finished with a counter claim against me, stating that I was bullying him and could have caused him to kill himself.
Give me strength.
And so the slow process of the Preliminary Investigation Committee of the RCVS was unleashed upon him.
Yawn.
Eighteem months later they finally realised that they weren't going to get anywhere with this guy, and he was sent to the Disciplinary Comittee. Essentially a court.
That was last week. I spent a couple of days in London to watch this spectacle, which, after three years, was something of an anticlimax. The first day was spent out of court with the various solicitors doing their thing, then the next day they appeared in court to state that Mr Meacock had been persuaded to come clean, and remove all the offending material etc etc.
I await with baited breath.
So did I achieve anything? Well, apart from testing my patience to the extreme, I think we can now say that the RCVS will not put up with pseudoscience and quackery. I think. We now need to test this to see if similar websites are removed.
Have I got what I wanted?
No.
All I want, all I really really want, is for the RCVS to man-up, and stand up to say that pseudoscience and quackery including homeopathy DOES NOT WORK.
Simple.
You would think...
