When I was at university, I saw the definitive (and only acceptable) staged production of it, put on, oddly, at the Oxford Union. It was awesome. (Is there anyone else out there who saw it?) Charles Sturridge, father of another Tom, played Tommy. A few years later I managed to get a ticket for the star-studded but inferior stage version. It was appalling. The touts were out. I was offered £150 for my ticket on the door. I wish I had taken it. And the film? Don’t bother.Tommy did not have congenital german measles (rubella). He was traumatised in childhood. We do not see many deaf-blind children now, thank God. But take a trip to Pennsylvania and visit the Amish people. You have heard of their furniture. You remember that "Amish" fil...

He is also responsible for the blog of the same name. His Bad Science blog has become the most respected and widely read scientific blog in the UK, and one of the most respected sources of sensible no-nonsense science in the world. Ben writes with a light touch, and uses gentle humour rather than vitriol to unmask the quacks and the pedlars of pseudo-science. Who can forget his wonderful one line dismissal of the “awful poo doctor” herself as “Dr Gillian Mckeith PhD or, to give her full medically recognised qualifications, Gillian McKeith."  Who but Ben Goldacre would go to the extreme of buying one ...

Certainly not. It’s the newsagent's fault. This morning he accidentally delivered the “world’s greatest newspaper” rather than the normal “Independent on Sunday” and therein is an article by a much respected government advisor:THE spate of deaths among young people in Britain’s suicide capital could be linked to radio waves from dozens of mobile phone transmitter masts near the victims’ homes. Dr Roger Coghill, who sits on a Government advisory committee on mobile radiation, has discovered that all 22 youngsters who have killed themselves in Bridgend, South Wales, over the past 18 months lived far closer than average to a mast. He has examined worldwide studies linking proximity of masts to depression. Dr Coghill’s work is likely ...

The cause? Miraculin, ” a protein ….which binds with the taste buds and acts as a sweetness inducer when it comes in contact with acids.” Imagine the possibilities for the parent of the pronounced neophobe, or of a mother trying to sweeten up the cod liver oil…….

When I decided to delve into this subject, I had no idea how many divergent opinions there are on the subject. I’ll try to summarize what I found. First of all, wouldn’t our grandmothers be tickled that cod liver oil is now recommended by the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA)? The consensus of opinion and studies is that fish oils do help to calm down the inflammatory process found in both RA and OA, especially when taken with NSAID’s (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). Apparently, they may reduce the C- reactive protein which reveals inflammation in the blood. Omega-3’s may also help with Crohn’s, ulcerative colitis, high cholesterol and heart disease. On the other hand, omega-6 fatty aci...

Bail out now if it seems apt.On beginnings...I have always been fascinated by beginnings; mostly when I come upon something halfway through. But I guess that don't make me special. We all like to know our origins, our back story. Or someone else's. How we define beginnings are more or less important. More, if you're a ball of cells in utero; less if you only want to know how things turn out. Do you turn to the last page of a book?Where do things begin? Are there always fireworks, and choirs of cherubim and seraphim? Not usually, unless you're at a synchronised firework display, or some all-comers fat kid sing off. But the idea is as old as time itself. The big bang must surely be t...

(a program of the Autism Research Institute) in an effort to facilitate communication between pediatricians, parents and researchers about the diagnosis and treatment of children with autism.” Very interesting—–I would not be surprised if pediatricians have been receiving numerous inquiries from parents about the kinds of biomedical treatments that DAN! supports. Hopefully the AAP can provide pediatricians with straightforward and thoughtful responses to parents’ requests and also provide solid medical advice about the dangers of some biomedical treatments such as chelatio...
