Dr MyHill's License in Jeopardy

Moderator message: I have removed the offending links and the reference to them in this message.

If, by interesting, you mean terribly written and full of nonsense, yes, I agree.

The first, for example, contains threats to harass (illegally) a member of the public for making a perfectly legal complaint via the correct, official channels. Thankfully, the post is full of ridiculous nonsense regarding how the identity of "Jonas" may be found. The author, despite their rabid claims, clearly has absolutely no clue about what's involved in getting someone's identity and address from their internet activity.

The second post contains similar nonsense:


What a pile of absolute tripe. Does anyone actually think that a member of the public can just stride up to an ISP and ask for one of their customers' personal details? Really?

Anyway, I have contacted the company hosting the above blogs and informed them that they are being used to make illegal threats of harassment.

i did not think that a member of the bs forum could make a more idiotic post than those that have been made before by your ilk.I was wrong you have excelled yourself .It is easily the most stupid pointless inaccurate post I,ve ever had the misfortune to read.
 
Thanks to all the supporters on here and elsewhere, Dr Myhill's case has made the BBC news:

Private specialist GP faces GMC hearing on 'risk'

Dr Mayhill has a specialist private practice in Powys
A doctor due to go before the General Medical Council for the seventh time later says she cannot understand why complaints against her are being heard.

Dr Sarah Myhill has a private practice near Knighton, Powys, where she specialises in treating patients with chronic fatigue syndrome.

She says she tries to find the causes of a disease, rather than treating the symptoms with drugs.

A GMC panel will consider whether her methods pose a risk to the public.

A statement on the GMC panel listings says they will consider information received regarding the advice and recommendations issued by Dr Myhill.

They will consider whether there may be "impairment of Dr Myhill's fitness to practise which poses a real risk to members of the public or may adversely affect the public interests or Dr Myhill's own interests".

Supporters of the doctor plan to hold a demonstration outside the hearing in London, saying she is the victim of a "witch-hunt".

They say no patient has ever complained about her.

Dr Myhill runs a website which gives information on allergies and hormones, and advocates what she calls a "stone age diet" for people suffering from myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) and other complaints including chemical sensitivity.

She treats people from across the UK.

However it is the website which has prompted the latest complaints against Dr Myhill.



I think there's a small group of doctors who perceive me as a threat to their professional integrity in some way

Dr Sarah Myhill
She said in a statement on her website that a group of doctors have complained about her recommending a B12 vitamin injection to a patient.

A second complainant said the information on her website was "very worrying" and was concerned "patients are being seriously misled".

Dr Myhill has already faced six GMC hearings since 2001 following allegations from other doctors.

She told BBC Wales: "I think there's a small group of doctors who perceive me as a threat to their professional integrity in some way and that is certainly not my desire to in any way threaten them.

"My motive is purely to help the patient to get well in as safe a way as is possible."

Patricia Chell has been travelling back and forth from Shropshire for three years to receive treatment, and says her health has improved dramatically since being prescribed magnesium by Dr Myhill.

"I think it's dreadful, and in fact if she's suspended, my life's at stake - literally.

"Without this magnesium, I should eventually get heart failure again."

thank you

Whatever the outcome, & I do so hope it is a good one for her, the stress she has been put through by the GMC over the years is unbelievable.

sounds good - can you tell us any more about this please. I'm not on Twitter (not even sure what it is?)
