Comments on: Sun, Times and Independent articles on Dore closure http://holfordwatch.info/2008/05/29/sun-times-independent-article-on-dore-closure/ The truth about Patrick Holford, media nutritionist Fri, 14 Oct 2011 15:11:39 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: jonhw http://holfordwatch.info/2008/05/29/sun-times-independent-article-on-dore-closure/comment-page-1/#comment-12174 Sun, 28 Sep 2008 12:17:56 +0000 http://holfordwatch.wordpress.com/?p=455#comment-12174 Richard, glad that you feel able to do more now. However, because Dore’s research has been so bad, there is no good evidence that the improvements some people experience when they use the Dore programme are down to the programme itself: sometimes people become able to do things they couldn’t do before for all kinds of reasons.

As to whether the media are more interested in blogs like us than the stories of people who felt their symptoms improved while using Dore – I think you’ll find that there is *much* more media coverage of the latter than of the likes of HolfordWatch.

Well I myself undertook the Dore program a few years ago and all I can say is that it totally changed my life .

I have met and spoken to a great many other people who have had the same amazing result like me …So how can you say that the treatment is fake and that Dore is a conman when you have all these people like me who have been helped ?

Yes Dore is a capatalist asshole and the company was far from perfect. Yes there should have been better reserch .

What I cant understand is why the public, the media , and many organisations who are supposed to be there to help people who have ADHD/Dyslexia , are more interested in cynical bloggers and the failings of Dore as a buisness ,than the people who recived the treatment and had a total cure to ADHD/Dyslexia, people like me.

It’s in – a typically credulous exposition of the outrageous claims that have been the stock-in-trade of Dore.
