There was another program on BBC last night in a similar vein to Dawkin's program. It's presented by Kathy Sykes, a professor at Bristol University, and explores reflexology. What has this got to do with osteopathy? One of the main topics discussed is how touch can activate the placebo effect.

Those in the UK can watch the program through BBC's iPlayer

The Guardian also have an article about it - It is unscientific to pour wholesale scorn on complementary medicine

O my! Don't we just love information like this. For me, the biggest question is where does the funding for this program comes from?
We know alternative therapy is more and more popular, because people are not stupid, they go to what works. I think this is not appreciated by pharmaceuticals (who make drugs out of love ;-)Joel) which are largely, if not only there for the money. So we get programs like this, for business purposes.
