ASA Adjudication on Maureen Bowman
Maureen Bowman
54 Nine Lands
Houghton
Houghton Le Spring
Tyne and Wear
DH4 5QE

Date: 29 August 2012
Media: Internet (on own site)
Sector: Health and beauty
Number of complaints: 1
Complaint Ref: A11-175604

Background

 
Ad

Claims on www.maureenbowman.co.uk stated "Hypnotherapy is the art of using hypnosis to help with medical cures ... Hypnotherapy has hundreds of uses, below I list a few ... Alcohol addictions ... Eating disorders ... Blood pressure ... Multiple Sclerosis".
Issue

An internet user understood that Maureen Bowman was not medically qualified and challenged whether the references to Multiple Sclerosis, blood pressure, eating disorders and alcohol addiction, might discourage essential treatment for conditions for which qualified medical supervision should be sought.
CAP Code (Edition 12)
1.712.2
Response

Maureen Bowman said she was reluctant to remove the references to Multiple Sclerosis, blood pressure, eating disorders and alcohol addiction, because people would be unaware that she would be able to help them.  She said she always ensured that her clients had been seen by a doctor first.   
Assessment

Upheld

The ASA noted the claims referring to Multiple Sclerosis, blood pressure, eating disorders and alcohol addiction and the claim that hypnotherapy could be used to "help with medical cures" and considered that those claims offered treatment and cures for those conditions.  We also considered that they were conditions for which qualified medical supervision should be sought.  The CAP Code states marketers must not discourage essential treatment for conditions for which medical supervision should be sought; for example, they should not offer specific advice on, diagnosis of or treatment for such conditions unless that advice, diagnosis or treatment was conducted under the supervision of a suitably qualified health professional.   We noted we had not seen evidence to show Maureen Bowman was a suitably qualified health professional and therefore concluded that the claims could discourage essential treatment for those conditions. 

 

The claims breached CAP Code (Edition 12) rule 12.2 (Medicines, medical devices, health-related products and beauty products).

Action

The claims must not appear again in their current form.  We told Maureen Bowman not to refer to conditions for which medical supervision was required.

That rules A LOT of quacks out of business. One of them, also "working" in UK, under the eyes of the ASA, is Richard Flook, who already is mentioned in this forum several times, one thread being

The video clip

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMbOWXxgWZ8&feature=player_embedded

is removed. I am sure it appeared under different names at other places. One clip with indisputably criminal action is this, also at YouTube.com:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btFuQ8g37mY

It shows Richard Flook "working" on a mentally ill patient.

The "META-Medicine" mentioned in the blog post is purely criminal. It is absolutely deadly. The main clientele is cancer patients, so Richard Flook not only "works" on patient with mental disorders, i.e. a topic covered by the new action by the ASA as shown at the top of this posting. The ASA must get Richard Flook out of business ASAP. Who knows how many patients Richard Flook already sent to the grave?

Das ist ein ganz gewöhnlicher Verbrecher. Irgendwann wird ihn der Fluch erreichen. Ist nicht mehr lange hin.
