		<description><![CDATA[Former Visiting Professor Patrick Holford is alarmed about the quantity of aluminium in vaccines although he does not mention the ubiquity of human exposure to aluminium. He suggests purchasing vaccines through the private sector to reduce the amount of aluminium to which an infant is exposed. He does not mention that overall, the amount from vaccination is less than an infant's typical dietary exposure or the rate at which it is cleared from the body. Nor does Holford discuss why aluminium is used as an adjuvant to improve the performance of a vaccine.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Jane Moore's advance publicity for the C4 Dispatches programme about the UK's human papilloma virus vaccination programme reported that she was assured by Professor Margaret Stanley that "unlike MMR the HPV vaccine is not live and is therefore biologically safe". HolfordWatch contacted Professor Stanley and she re-affirmed that the MMR vaccine is safe and there seems to have been a misunderstanding about the context or scope of her remark.]]></description>

Paul Flynn MP has just blogged about a pretty depressing draft final report [PDF] for the Welsh Assembly, on Support for People with Dyslexia in Wales.  As Flynn argues, while there is a lot that&#8217;s positive in the Report, the Assembly &#8220;is headed down a couple of blind alleys on Dyslexia.&#8221;  In particular, [...]]]></description>

He asks parents to consider the case of Hannah Poling but neglects to mention that she has an underlying mitochondrial disorder. He higlights the benefits of vitamin A without mentioning that such work is based on supplementation of children with deficiencies or who are malnourished.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Former Visiting Professor Patrick Holford is likening himself to Leonardo 'de' Vinci which makes a nice change from Galileo and Gandhi. This might be moderately less embarrassing if he had troubled himself to learn that the name is da Vinci. The leading advocate of unproven and unscientific tests, and promoter of over-hyped supplements, accuses others of reductionism. We shall explore some of his latest writing in later posts. Meanwhile, Biocare claims that it employs qualified nutritionists and scientists, who will break the news to them about Holford?]]></description>
