The GMC failing to protect patients: Fridge Monkey wears badge saying "trust me I'm a doctor"

Those of you who have read ANM’s content on Low Dose Naltrexone, during and after the passage of the Access to Medical Treatments Act, will know that the GMC investigated a doctor, Thomas Gilhooly, who was supplying the cheap non-toxic and effective drug, and that the GMC made the Grandiose Medical Connerie of finding that he […]

Getting Away with Social Murder

14 Jul , 2016  

A scold's bridle or 'brank' - torture instrument, now virtually applied to those exposing social murder

It is one year since Judge Anthony Seys-Llewellyn’s judgement in our Civil case against Andy Lewis and Melanie Byng, in which the Judge, having refused us relief, made a special point of awarding no damages to us to punish us for correctly identifying that we have been stalked and harassed for years.

25 May , 2016  

ANM The Power of Small - LDN capsules - low does naltrexone, a safe cheap non toxic immune booster

Editor Linda Elsegood’s harrowing personal story of illness and recovery provides the energetic springboard to rehabilitate Low Dose Naltrexone in “The LDN Book”. LDN is a modest, cheap drug, still much misunderstood and even maligned, and this explains the need for such a patient-led initiative, essentially to educate doctors, and qualifies my only potential criticism […]

3 May , 2016  

ANM Press Freedom map showing UK press interference

THE PROBLEM Brits are rightly indignant when democracy is subverted to silence voices: especially when it happens abroad. In spite of the breakdown of boundaries in cyber-space, “elsewhere” is still generally where the UK acknowledges the existence of dissidents, as a readable signal that a state has become less democratic and cannot tolerate disagreement.

Photo of candle burning - symbolising hope

It is a long time since we’ve used our right to free speech to publish about the backlash from our Steiner Human Rights activism.
