In 2004 Trudeau was ordered to pay $2million and desist from medical claims for such products as Japanese Coral Calcium and Biotape. For ignoring this and other court orders, a Chicago judge has now sent him to prison for 10 years, calling him a \u201can unrepentant, untiring and uncontrollable huckster who has defrauded the unsuspecting for 30 years.\u201d Impressive.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bmj.com\/content\/348\/bmj.g2262\">Elsewhere Harry Burns, the outgoing Chief Medical Officer for Scotland, is interviewed by Bryan Christie<\/a> for the features section. He believes ill health in Scotland is linked to the fact that too few people feel that they have a stake in the future. His approach has been concentrate on small gains, one of which was to encourage parents to read bedtime stories to their children and nurseries to record how many children are benefitting. \u201cBedtime reading is an evidence based intervention that will produce small benefits,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>And finally, the effects of mental disorders on employment <a href=\"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1136\/bmj.g2256\">are discussed in an editorial<\/a>. People with common mental disorders are only half as likely to have jobs as people without psychiatric disorders. The lead author, Max Henderson, from the Institute of Psychiatry, at King\u2019s College London, calls for the implementation of one of recommendations of the Black Report of 2008. Carol Black proposed the creation of a centre for work and health to drive forward the research agenda. \u201cIts time has now come,\u201d the editorial says.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Annabel Ferriman<\/strong> is news editor, BMJ.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recent research from the US shows that medical conspiracy theories are rife there.
