All those British whistleblowers wondering who they should tell about the medical research misconduct going on under their noses now have a hotline direct to the very people who can do something about it.

That's right, by calling 0844 77 00 644, anyone involved in issues related to misconduct in research can confess all to the nice people at the UK Panel for Research Integrity in Health and Biomedical Sciences.

The hotline, launched, launched Friday, is reportedly completely confidential, and callers will be provided with guidance on how to handle allegations of misconduct.

Call between 8 am and 8 pm Monday to Friday. It'll cost 3 pennies a minute if you call from a land-line. (Then call us!)

Dear Sir/Madam

I hope that this site will highlight the injustice that has been done to people suffering from ME/borrelia/Lyme disease. We have been labeled as needing psychiatric treatment when what we need is for NHS DOCTORS, and the GOVERNMENT to take notice of all the medical papers that have been done supporting the illness as a medical/viral/bacterial illness that has destroyed lives. Some patients have died, a great many sufferers are living 'a living death,' others have committed suicide because doctors will not accept they are ill.
