That's How It Happened

Ben Goldacre, junior doctor, Guardian journalist, and bad science blogger, reports on the success of one of his readers in bringing evil poo "doctor" Gillian McKeith to justice. She has been banned by the ASA from using the word "Doctor" in any of her advertising, on the basis that her "doctorate" came from a non-accredited correspondence school in America. Goldacre takes her apart, rightfully highlighting her cargo cult "science" beliefs, litigiousness, and fraud. As suggested by Tom Coates, I'm linking Goldacre's article, but not McKeith's website, but hopefully she'll have to take down drgillianmckeith dotcom shortly.
