Is SaveYourself.ca offensive?

Is it offensive to say that some treatments are scientifically dubious? Is it offensive to discuss the science, and have opinions about it? Some seem to think so.

Since 2007, I have been investigated by my professional regulator, the College of Massage Therapists of BC. The charge? Publishing a website so offensive to my colleagues that it warrants censorship and public reprimand. My career is at stake, plus a great deal of money.

And I am going public today.

This afternoon I’ll be on the radio, talking about alternative medicine with Desiree Schell on CJSR’s Skeptically Speaking at 6pm Mountain Standard Time. See the website for a countdown to the live broadcast, or listen later by podcast.

And this morning I am published on the new Canadian skeptical blog, Skeptic North: “Pseudo-quackery in Pain Management: a field with a large gray zone between overt quackery and evidence-based care.”
