What our readers and members say about WDDTY

As an ex medical writer for a top laboratory, I would like to congratulate you on what you are doing. You have made a brave move which is bound to make waves and I am sure your information is an eye-opener to many people. To practitioners like me, who so often have to cope with iatrogenic states, you are a godsend. Thank you

- J.T., London

I value the whistle-blowing, myth-breaking and original information I’ve received over the years. Sometimes it’s been well ahead of public and even NHS awareness.

- R.L., Sturminster Newton

You disseminate information so that we can make informed choices as to the safest, most efficacious treatments. We are guided by your information to, hopefully, a better and safer life. You highlight the hazards of allopathic medicine and people are thankful for that.

- S.S., Chippenham

Keep up the good work. WDDTY is an invaluable source of up-to-date information which would be difficult for anyone not in the medical field to access any other way.

- S W-S, London WDDTY is informative, delightfully provocative, clearly and concisely written. You provide a much-needed antidote to the prevailing orthodoxy. I have made many of your articles available to patients who are trying to make decisions on the many topics you cover and they have all said how helpful they were. - M.C., London Your publication puts truth at a premium and empowers victims of medical arrogance—long may you flourish. - G.R., York
