As a child it seemed magical. So all the more disappointing to find that it houses an exhibition that promotes quackery. The exhibition is uncritical and sometimes downright dangerous.  It does not teach you anything about science, it teaches anti-science and uncritical thinking. It was not originally like this. Most of the objects in the exhibition were originally part of Henry Wellcome’s Wellcome Museum of Medical History, based at 183 Euston Road. It was moved on permanent loan to the Science Museum in 1977 where it was known as The Wellcome Museum of the History of Medicine. > Recently the Wellcome-Trust sponsored exhibition was the subject of a blog post at Purely a figment of your imagination, written by Alex D...

Yes, please. You’ve heard that balancing your Chakras is great for your body and mind, but you’re not into needles, so acupuncture ain’t gonna happen. But Travel to Wellness offers a better solution: chakra-balancing spa treatments! Check out their guide to the seven chakras, and how a spa treatment could get your ayurvedic life in order: “Spa Treatments: Understanding the Seven Chakras”.

Once the contents of the ‘degrees’ has been exposed to public ridicule, many universities have stopped doing it. All (or nearly all) of these pseudo-degrees have closed at the University of Salford, the University of Central Lancashire, Robert Gordon University, the University of Buckingham, and even at the University of Westminster (the worst offender), one course has closed (with rumours of more to follow). I’ve already written about the course in Traditional Chinese Medicine at the University of Salford (Chinese medicine -acupuncture gobbledygook revealed) and at the University of Westminster: see...

Introduction: As a member of the British Association of Occupational Therapists I refer to the Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct 1 and Core Standards 2 specified by the College of Occupational Therapists. I also refer to National Service Frameworks[3] produced by the Department of Health and guidelines produced by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence[4]. Working within the National Health Service I rarely feel empowered to follow these standards or guidelines. This mismatch between professional ideals and working reality seems to be a never-ending source of conflict and emotional turmoil. To manage this conflict I refer to Hindu/Buddhist scriptures on the practice of yoga.

Researchers say ayurveda works in the same way as conventional drugs for boosting mental agility in the disease. They found that the plants used in ayurveda acted to improve memory and concentration in Alzheimer’s sufferers. Researchers from King’s College, London and Jadavpur University in the eastern Indian city of Calcutta, studied five plants commonly used in ayurvedic medicine. They found that the plants acted to prevent the breakdown of neurotransmitters, improving memory and concentration in people with Alzheimer’s disease - the most common form of dementia.
