Further to my above mention of 'chelation therapy', in 2012 Breakspear Medical got done by the Advertising Standards Authority

TLDR:

Ad description
The website for a private medical clinic, viewed in October 2011, stated on its "Treatments - Chelation Therapy" page "Broadly, chelation therapy can be used to help with …" and in a list of health conditions included "... cerebrovascular disease ... chronic fatigue syndrome, autistic spectrum disorders ... preventative medicine and anti-ageing".

Action
The claim must not appear again in its current form. We asked Breakspear not to imply chelation therapy could help treat the listed conditions.

And, in 2012 the founder of Breakspear, Jean Munro, was given a formal warning by the GMC for giving chelation therapy.

Weird old rabbit hole I'm falling down.

I wonder if he uses consultant in a bit of a tricksy way. A bit like you can be a management consultant or a financial consultant. He is both a medic and also available for consulting on...I dunno being a twat online

 

[lilykestrel]

Here's the autism article referenced at the end of that MMR jab article Chizontiz posted above in the Winter/Spring 2011 edition.

All the Breakspear Medical Bulletins are available on their website.

I guess he might have moved on soon after this to start Sincere Health in 2012.

Spoiler: thoughts on autism

He mentions mercury - that's what 'chelation treatment' aims to resolve. There's no clinical proof that that 'works' (for autism).

To be fair, he could easily have achieved the list above if qualified in 2001. If you have run-through core/specialist training (or just work really hard and stay full-time), it can be 8 years post medical school to consultant.

The senior lectureship is likely to be tied to having an honorary contract in a medical school (i.e. teaching medical students). Would be surprised if it’s an SL, though, as he’s emphatically not a consultant.

He’s in the same bin as the Van TunnockBollocks and a couple of other med-fluencers, who can all fuck off out the niches of people who are properly qualified and accountable.

Thank you for the forensic-ness.

Here he says he is "pro-neurodiversity".

The cynic in me wonders if perhaps, with his finger on the pulse of Twitter and activism (cf Patreon), he clocked the growth of Autistic/Neurodiversity Twitter and the unpopularity of approaches he took in the previous decade, and quietly did an ideological and professional pivot?

Yes I think he’s distanced himself from it. In his Viva, he certainly seems to be suggesting that autism could be linked to gut flora.

I’m not a scientist though! But it’s a lie that he never claimed to treat autism. Incidentally, he completed the phd in 2016, several years after all those posts on Mumsnet.

Yes that’s exactly what I meant in my earlier post on the JM thread.

He’s allowing inferences to be made through tricksy wording, safe in the knowledge that most people won’t be able to tell the difference.

There is no such official title as medical consultant.

But that says a lot about his ethics if hes trying to present himself as a Consultant/Specialist when actually he's still a Registrator or something

He could be a staff grade, having dropped out of training entirely.

 

[Gnomic Gnome]

There is no such medical specialty as ‘nutritional and environmental medicine.’

What a knob. Honestly, he’s crafted a web of trickery and lies by omission.

This bloody man! My son has ASD and all that MMR causes autism stuff was still doing the rounds around the time of his formal diagnosis in 2012.

The guilt it generated was appalling. Now and again I thought - was his autism my fault? I’ve always been in favour of vaccinations but I did have a moment or two thinking - did MMR effect him? Did I feed him the right things? Should I put him on a restricted diet? If only to help him fit in with society and not be ‘that odd boy’.

Of course, it’s all pseudo-science bollocks and I look at my boy now who’s just finished his first year at Uni and say yeah, he’s on the spectrum. He’s got his stims, his obsessive collections and social awkwardness but he’s done so well and I’m fucking proud of him!

If Jack Monroe, champion of the poors and self -diagnosed autistic is happy to be associated with this quack, she’s lower than a (buttered) snake’s belly.

 

[chizontiz]

I went down a REAL rabbit hole with this yesterday. He’s properly set me off. I think he’s moved away from the autism stuff since the Sincere Health compulsory strike off. I can’t find anything related to that specifically later than 2014ish (sorry on my phone so can’t link properly but will fix on my laptop)

Actually I'm not sure if we're allowed to share links like that here but if you search "Dr Daniel Goyle mumsnet" you'll find reviews, some good, others less so

COVID: It never went away

The former health secretary has said the COVID pandemic is over. The reality could hardly be more different, with high case numbers, staff absences, and a terrible legacy of stress and overwork

www.bma.org.uk

Listed as a Consultant. Although given his politics Im not surprised he’s up the arse of the BMA

Stupid question: But my buddy who IS a consultant (on the specialist register and everything) is referred to as Mr? In that article GOYAL is referred to as Dr. Is this my buddy being a knob or is that normal?

Surgeons drop Dr when they become consultant. It’s a humorous throwback to the days of barbershop surgery!

Other specialties keep Dr. Some also collect Professor on the way.

Edited to add: I double-checked and ‘consultant’ is a protected title, so cannot be used freely or incorrectly. GMC would LOVE to know, I bet…

10324557 is one of them.
Compulsory strike off

11870977 is Covid loan one

12271350 is another compulsory strike

10324557 - entity struck off for never filing anything. Essentially a dormant company that never traded, with no assets or liabilities. Fairly obviously set up in connection with the spoof Southend News network site, presumably to deal with ad revenue income. SNN website domain expired in 2021 and was then re-registered by someone else who posts clickbait and spam articles.

11870977 - entity had traded for a while and then started a voluntary strike-off, which was suspended (this usually happens because HMRC or another creditor objected). The company then went through a voluntary liquidation with the appointment of a liquidator to take care of everything. This is basically because the entity didn't have sufficient assets to pay its creditors, so you incur more costs to appoint a liquidator but it ensures the liquidation doesn't incur any hold-ups, just means any creditors get even less money. If the creditor was a covid loan, that makes sense.

Total liabilities about £76K, no assets to cover them

12271350 - entity struck off for never filing anything. if I had to guess, they got knocked back from whoever owns or manages the "disused play area" because they had their own plans for the site.

He’s still doing it though just not overtly if he’s flogging single jabs.

A couple of years back there was a huge outbreak of mumps at U.K. universities as the students were the cohort as the Wakefield scaremongering was at its height. It only stopped because of the pandemic. People who rely on enough other people vaccinating to provide herd immunity are putting their children’s health at risk. And the very small number of children who can’t be vaccinated. Just selfish arseholery.

I’ll hop down from my soap box now

I believe that any healthcare professional who takes it upon themselves to join in with anti-vax fear mongering (or any medical treatment which we know to be safe and effective), who sets up some sort of private clinic offering to cure ‘vaccine induced injuries’ or anything like that should not be allowed to practice (or at least not be allowed to work in any publicly funded health system).
It goes against everything we’re taught and it’s so harmful, especially to people who are already prone to anti-vax views as it just reinforces them.

 

[Seaford Haggington]

He's only been on Twitter since 2021, but I had him muted. Most likely because of some pandemic quakery.

 

[Gnomic Gnome]

That was the only thing I could think of that doesnt involve rummaging around inside people

Edit: Ive just read the description of the job on the NHS website.

Lot of dabbling around in fluids (see also: Jacks cooking) and was shocked by the starting salary

The starting salary is shit. It could be your very first day on the ward, and the rota means you’re the one holding the crash bleep. So much risk, so much stress.

They are all interchangeable

Just popping in from the Monroe thread to say that this grifter is giving me strong Dr Spaceman from 30 Rock vibes (pronounced Dr Spa-chee-min).

 

[Seaford Haggington]

And the "rehabilitation" is gathering a load of followers with pandemic bullshit. Grift, pure and simple.
