4th June 2023
I have been silent and off-line for a while. I am not unwell, but thanks for asking. There is a court case coming up in the High Court in London on the 3rd of July. I am suing the Mail on Sunday, along with Zoe Harcombe. This is complex and highly time-consuming case, and there are many sensitive issues on the line.
It was reported in the BMJ last year:
The controversy over the benefits of statins is set to be aired in the High Court in London, in what the senior libel judge has described as the “most significant piece of defamation litigation that I have seen in a very long time.”
Mr Justice Nicklin made the comment in a preliminary ruling in a libel action by Malcolm Kendrick, a GP, and Zoe Harcombe, a researcher, author, and blogger with a PhD in public health nutrition, against Associated Newspapers, publishers of the Mail on Sunday and Mail Online, over articles that labelled them “statin deniers” whose “deadly propaganda” had endangered lives.
In the judgment Nicklin ordered that the case should be heard in two tranches: a preliminary trial of certain issues, followed by a main trial. “It is no exaggeration to say that the parameters of this litigation are very substantial,” he said.
Kendrick and Harcombe are suing over articles published in the print edition of the Mail on Sunday and in Mail Online in March 2019. A news story in the paper was headlined “Statin deniers are putting patients at risk says Minister.”
https://www.bmj.com/content/376/bmj.o741
Watch this space, as they say.
Dr Zoë Harcombe and Dr Malcolm Kendrick have brought libel proceedings against both the publisher of The Mail on Sunday and the newspaper’s Health Editor, Barney Calman, over a series of articles first published in March 2019 in the news and health section. Dr Harcombe and Dr Kendrick complain that the Mail on Sunday made a series of libellous allegations, attacking their professional integrity with reference to their public statements and writings concerning the use and efficacy of statin therapy. Due to the unusual complexity of the case, it has been split into two trials. At a trial in July (Trial 1) , the court will decide, among other central issues, the meaning of the articles of which complaint is made, whether they were an expression of opinion by Mr Calman or a statement of fact and whether the defendants are entitled to rely on a public interest defence. The court at Trial 1 will not have to determine the truth or otherwise of the published allegations, and the question of what the defendants have to prove to be true, and whether they can defend their statements as expressions of opinion will depend on the outcome of Trial 1. The focus is on what was said by Mr Calman about the claimants and whether that can be defended.
Please note that comments have been disabled as this is an ongoing case.
Dr. Malcolm Kendrick 
He should win this one!
Strength and success. You follow in the footsteps of Tim Noakes. The truth will prevail ..
Good luck Dr Kendrick.
Best of luck
It will be good to give this issue a public airing.
BUT will bigpharma buy the cleverest lawyers?
Glad to hear you are not unwell, it has been a while.
Drainstream media is amazing with the rubbish they write and then dopey politicians believes it. We have to be thankful for Clare Daly, Christopher Chope and Andrew Bridgen to name but three, while on the side of the narrative of bad information there are hundreds of unbelievably ignorant and amoral wastes of space
I wish you the very best of “luck” and look forward to your success.

Wishing you both every success in your case, going to be very interesting to see where this goes, ramifications could be immense.
Good luck
Good luck and fingers crossed you win the case. This could be a landmark ruling. Have you a funding page for donations to support you and Zoe’s action?

Oddly, the last few days I was considering an email to you to check that you are OK – so good to know that. The law works in mysterious ways so I hope your case goes well for you, certainly the evidence is on your side. I am a fan of Craig Murray and he has had a struggle with the law. Best wishes.
My very best wishes for a rapid and successful outcome. You do a fantastic job….thank you Sue
I shall be watching the case with great interest.
Thank you both for all you are doing.
Good luck to you and Zoe. You are my heroes!
I watch and wait with interest – this could be a turning point for statins. well done to you both!
Wishing you the very, very best of luck – go get ’em.

Good for you and Zoe. Wish you both all the luck in the world. Many lives will be saved when the truth is out
Malcolm I wish you and Zoe all the best it seems that more and more folk who query anything are being labelled in some bad way.
We can no longer have a civilized conversation about anything without someone jumping up and calling us out as either liars or worse trying to destroy humanity. A doctor when asked about vitamins stated that drinking cow urine would be less damaging than taking Vitamin C I laughed so hard I missed whether this should be pasteurized cow urine or should we drink it fresh from the cow and the next question would be where could we buy this in Australia. This was some advice we received during COVID so much for education.
I was wondering if we had lost him but thankfully not.
As a person whose life has been wrecked by taking a statin, this has been proven by muscle biopsy, I would like to offer my support to you in any way I can.
Please make sure that people like me are represented in court and in public discussion. We have no other voice.
Good luck 👍
glad you are not ill.
Fingers crosses for the label action.

Sending all possible good vibes.

Good for you. I’ve always liked you, and I’ve always liked Zoe. I do generally agree with both of you. But that’s not the point. We can all be wrong about things, and maybe both of you have been from time to time about this or that; but what I do know beyond a shadow of doubt from seeing what both of you have to say is that you’re sincerely trying to get at the truth and tell the truth. You should not be libelled for that.
Best of luck to to you both …

May truth and justice prevail. My thoughts are with you. And I’m so glad you are not unwell!
Malcolm, this is bound to be not only stessful and time-consuming but also expensive .Why don`t you set up a `donation site` to support you and Zoe : you have been both been so supportive to us .
The very best of luck Malcolm!!
You WILL win and you deserve all the accolades.

Let’s hope the judge actually listens to the evidence. Tim Noakes won his case, it would be great if you two did as well.
wishing you well…thank you for doing this. Please take care of yourself. xx
Good luck with that, it must be very stressful, which as you often tell us is bad for your heart! Take care
Dr Kendrick,
I wish you success in your libel action and hope you will continue to keep us ‘statin deniers’ up to date with the antics of the statin manufacturers and ‘pushers’. Many GPs seem only to believe the prevailing view of ‘cholesterol theory’ and I have noticed recent articles showing symptoms of supposed high cholesterol on feet.
I am a 69 years old LADA diabetic, initially diagnosed as an ‘untypical’ type 2 ie not overweight etc. Doctors and nurses have been trying to push me to take statins since I was initially and wrongly diagnosed 13 years ago.
I have recommended your book many times, and will continue to do so. I desparately hope that if you succeed in this libel action, it will be the beginning of the end of ‘The Great Cholesterol Con’.
Very Best Wishes

Like many, I’m really interested to see the outcome of this hearing and would like to wish you all the very best .. the amount of work you must have put into preparing for this must be phenomenal. The significance of this case is truly important for everyone with heart issues. Thank you for being so brave and dedicated to your research and beliefs
I really hope you win this. Good luck to you.
Dr. Kendrick – Wishing you all the best in the case. May truth and justice prevail. I truly hope the court is not “bought”. Praying for you and sending you much love.
Hello,
I am 72, my husband is 75. In the past 30 years we have watched what happens to “cardiology” patients. One friend has Parkinson’s ( nervous system) and another one has severe heart issues. At 50 these men were biking up the Canadian Rockies.. and now in their 70’s they are debilitated. None of this is “hereditary”. The common denominator here is 20 years of statins. It’s a travesty. 😫😡
Good luck Doc K’
You have the backing of every single thinking person anywhere.
Best wishes and prayers from my side! It’s past time for the statin con to be blown wide open.
Give them hell!
I wish you well in general, and in this case in particular. I was in Carlisle last week and was reminded of the city motto: Be just and fear not. I hope it serves you well.
Wishing you every success.
Here’s wishing you the very best of luck – and thank you for all the work you do and for your excellent books.
Good luck with your case! I hope the DM have to pay out a good deal of money – in the causes of both justice and medical knowledge . . .
Thank you
Good luck and success!

Totally with you and Zoë, Dr. K. Bringing truth to power is never easy, but always worth the fight. After statins, on to the “jabs”!
I am keeping Dr. Kendrick and Ms. Harcombe in my prayers.
The Very Best Of luck Dr Kendrick. I wish I could believe in the impartiality of our legal system but you never know which masonic lodge is involved ….
Dr. Kendrick – I hope you win this case. Should be a lot of data made public knowledge during it, though of course there’s a problem that many people believe that statins save lives and will therefore not accept the evidence that they don’t. Much the same problem with the usefulness of masking against aerosol viruses.
Calling someone a “denier” is an appeal to belief over data, and has subconscious links to Holocaust denial and rejection of things that are obviously true. Here, seems to me that the supporters of statins are in denial of the evidence against them. Also, of course, they are very profitable.
Wishing you success in your court case. The stress must be enormous – but hold fast Malcolm! May the wind be at your backs!
Very glad that you are not unwell.
Very best wishes for the libel action, do you expect any of the anti-cholesterol crowd from Oxford to be called in support of the Mail? If so will you be asking for the data they have been hiding for decades?
Glad that you are not unwell.
Best wishes for your libel action in July.
Do you expect the Oxford anti-cholesterol crowd to be called in defence by the Mail, and will they have to provide their long concealed data to support any ‘expert’ testimony they give?
Wow. Huge respect for both of you. Very best of luck with that.
Is your legal team working on a ‘no win no fee’ basis? Else, how much is this costing you? How are you fund raising?
I wish Andrew Bridgen was having as much success in getting ‘cock into the dock. A different angle, but up against the same forces of darkness. His sitch is here FWIW https://tinyurl.com/mr4cv3zs .

Dr. Kendrick, Thank you for fighting the good fight on statins. I will tussle with my GP this week at my 6 month check up. Your book has changed my life for the better. Now to convince my doctors of that. You gave me the courage and insights to stand up for my own health and to go against the grain. -Doug Van Fleet quadrupel bypass survivor and former (for at least 25 years) statin user PS So no, the statins did not prevent the heart attack
I wish you the very best of luck with your case Dr.
I look forward to the case .
Lovely to hear from you again Dr Kendrick, and to know you’re not unwell. I have been concerned by your absence. I wish you success in the High Court and thank you very sincerely for all that you are and all that you do.
Dear Dr. Kendrick,
At first glance, this made my heart stop. Two of my favourite health bodhisattvas at loggerheads?! The way it is phrased makes it sound as though you are suing both the newspaper publisher AND Dr. Harcombe. Perhaps it would be less confusing (and alarming) to say “Dr. Zoe Harcombe and I are suing…..”
I hope you don’t mind me pointing this out. Huge thanks to you and to Dr. Harcombe for all you do.
Best wishes, Sally (Mrs. Sally Jefferies)
Good luck with the court case! So tired of all the lies that surround statins and the hardcore promoting of same

Thank you for your wisdom, honesty and courage. The tide is turning and this will be a major victory!
Do you need a start some crowdfunding to cover legal costs?
State broadcaster ABC in Australia, cancelled a scientist journalist who questioned the value of statins. I’m sure they erased the episode, but maybe it exists and will help. Note that the citation does not mention ‘statin’! You are fighting pHarma and all its media allies. And in the land of the gaolers of Assange. English Justice? An oxymoron …

Dr Kendrick, very courageous, I wish you well and hope you succeed.
Good luck to you and Zoe. It’s about time some real facts came out.
Interesting. Thank you for sharing with us. I love your book and hard to find anything in there that justifies any notion that you are putting anyone in danger with your words. Such a thoughtful, balanced approach to the whole controversy over what actually causes heart disease. I’m fully in support of your work.

So good to hear from you, Dr. Kendrick! Hold their dainty little feet to the fire!
Clearly the judgement will be in favour given the quality of your written material.
How are you funding the libel action? You have many fans who I’m sure would be happy to help.
Good luck, Malcom. I hope you nail their balls to the wall!
Such a typical smear ‘denier’ from the Mail on Sunday, Mail on-line…..and other msm to denigrate an alternative and reputable source. Having read what Malcolm Kendrick has written about cholesterol and the role of statins, it is libellous to write he is a “statin denier”….and had “endangered lives”. I’d be furious. He has done extensive and very informative research on cholesterol and the role it plays in metabolic health. It is just one part of the equation ( cholesterol) and its impact varies from individual to individual. Thus, to address every instance in people of a raised level of LDL cholesterol with a stating regime, is the “one size fits all” approach. An approach promoted and advocated by Big Pharma…..after all such an approach must generate greater financial returns.
I wish you all the very best – it is time those traducing you and others with different and valid approaches, were called to account.
Wow! This is exciting. An argument in public. Coverage guaranteed. Expense also. I wish to contribute my mite to the cost. The more posts from you, Dr Kendrick, the better. What a task.
Well done, very much looking forward to seeing a proper airing of all of the evidence against the lipid hypothesis and therefore as to why statins aren’t the panacea that they are oversold to be.
Please let us know where / how we can contribute to your legal costs?
Thanks for sharing and for moving forward with these actions. . As a rep in the Pharma industry with a strong interest in complementary Medicine, and as someone who sponsored a meeting at which you were speaking many years ago, I know just how made up the whole statin story is. I do hope you are successful. Regards, Ian

I am mightily pleased to hear that you are not ill – I was wondering what had happened. Will be following this with interest and send best wishes.
Behind you both 100%.I qualified as a Doctor at UCH in 1973 and have been aware of the power and evil of Big Pharma all my medical life.Believe me i know how hard it can be when all the BIG GUNS are trained on you !
Wow – good luck to both you and Zoe, Malcolm! This could be ground breaking and life changing for millions of people. May justice prevail….
Well done! We are all behind you and Zoe Harcombe.
This could be the beginning of the great Pharma take down. Good on you both!
Thank god you are back. I thought it was something isaid !
I hope it goes well. It’s a significant issue that I pray is addressed appropriately and that other doctors start to take notice of. Thank you for continuing to stand up for evidence and scientific debate
An experienced lawyer (not myself) speaks on Mindfulness.
‘Lawyers tend to live in their own brain, and humans tend to spend their time thinking rather than just being. Sometimes understanding how your brain works and identifying some unhealthy thinking styles can help you get some distance from some of your thoughts and see that your thoughts are not always a good representation of what’s actually happening in that moment. Our feelings, emotions and behaviours are usually a direct reaction to our thoughts and so if your thoughts have gone down a particular rabbit hole, your reactions are likely to be disproportionate.’
Hoping your brief is a good ‘un.
Dear MalcomI am glad to hear you are well from recent health scares. Your articles are always relevant and informative, and it was your book The Great Cholesterol Con which set me off on the course to distrust pretty much everything pharmaceutical, especially the statins which were being pushed by my GP at the time. I seriously hope you win this case. It is high time that big Pharma and the (paid) MSM are brought to book.Of course the greatest scandal ever (Covid mRNA vaccines) is looming fast on the horizon. All in all a huge corruption which is the one really putting patients health at risk Best of luck and hopefully a successful outcome in your case. Yours sincerelySimon Tilley

My mum was made very ill by statins. After we told her about a Telegraph article (we had already read Dr Kendrick’s book)by Dr James Lefanu, she agreed to a ‘statin holiday’. Her recovery seemed miraculous. A friend, on statins, was falling, and we were sure she was getting dementia, gave them up of her own accord. She’s now much better with all her faculties at 91. It makes my blood boil. Go Dr Kendrick!
We pray for your success.
I am very pleased to hear that you are well, wishing you and Zoe all the best in your court case.
Wishing you and Zoe all the luck. I know some elderly people who have started moving and speaking more coherently once statins were stopped! Patients are not given informed consent when put on statins!
Bravo!
Tip: contact Tim Noakes, he has lots of experience with trials! 😉
Heroism exemplified – thank you!
Good luck, all strength to you.
Good for you Malcolm. I read these articles and wondered how such opinionated claptrap got to be published. Here’s hoping you really make them pay
Oh gosh!- That’s a lot of work and expense for both of you! Wishing you fairness!
Good for you Malcolm. I read these articles and wondered how such opinionated claptrap got to be published. Here’s hoping you really make them pay
I am glad to hear that not only are you well but you’re out there swinging.
I amongst many others are glad to hear from you Malcolm after what seems to be a considerable absence. I’m also pleased that your health is intact. Your mental state must be taking a battering in light of your impending court case; I suspect that the stress levels are all over the the place.
I have followed you and other truth-bringers regarding cholesterol myths and all the associated tangents and I am completely convinced that your are 100% correct. ‘The Clot Thickens’ surely cannot be denied by the naysayers out there and must finally connect the dots for them. I have been ‘off’ my prescribed statins for over 20 years purely by acting on instinct and I’m surely not alone when you came along and lifted any guilt we may have felt. I have rigourously ‘debated’ and criticised the dogma with many a GP to no avail. You’ve mentioned it yourself: Medical professionals cannot afford to challenge the Holy Grails of statins, ( and vaccines)….or words to that effect.
Without being a touch premature, I sincerely congratulate your intended actions within our judicial sysems. I wouldn’t wish to predict the outcome but I would be perfectly willing to recognise where the justice SHOULD be applied.
Thank you so much for having the bravery to confront this huge endeavour: I’m kind of hoping that fighting a libel action against a newspaper might just be the first loosening stone in the dam’s wall. It will be interesting to see if the case will be covered in The Mail, and indeed, other MSM. All the very best Malcolm.
Hope you are 100% successful in this endeavor to bring reality to this whole statin/cholesterol/heart disease myth.
Praying for both you and Zoe Harcombe. I was just thinking I had not see a post of yours for a while, and just like that you popped up on my screen.🙂
You and Dr. William Davis are two reachers that got me off, and kept me off, of statins many years ago. Thank you so very much. Life has been much nicer without the muscle pain and without the mental fog. It took me two years to fully shake the mental distractions I experienced after stopping my statin treatment. What a wake-up call.
I wish you success in your case. Although I don’t know the specfics, I believe that sland and libel law varies greatly by nation. Here in the USA we theoretically lean to free speech, although Fox News would beg to differ given its big loss against Dominion. Also, on other contentious issues, Americans are free to speak (or write) their mind and not fear fines or prison, although it can (and sometimes does) incur damage to job, career, university attendance, social media use, banking services, and fair-weather friends and colleagues, etc. But fines and prison — very rare.
I would like to think I speak for all your regular readers in wishing you all the best and hoping you win. It could be horribly expensive if you don’t.
Good luck to both of you. You have a lot of support out there
Greetings, Doctor. I hope your case comes out in your favor! Its about time the medical community put to rest for good and all the supposed “benefits” of statins, and how they are protected. Statins are the biggest bunch of baloney ever concocted, and cause many more problems than they ever solve! Thank You for your continued fight against these so called benefits of statins! Please let me know if and what I can do to help.
I follow your blogs with great interest and truly value your opinions as unlike Big Pharma you don’t have an ulterior motive. Good luck hope you win the court case.
Good Luck! It must be enormously stressful preparing your case and awaiting the trial. May you and Zoe win.
Good afternoon Dr Kendrick
I haven’t necessarily agreed with everything that you have to say in your posts, but Statins are menace and I wish you the very best of luck in your case against the Daily Mail. Please do keep us all up to date with the progress of the case.

This is a totally independent question from this article, but I haven’t been here in a while so decided to post it here anyway. I recently (end of June 2023) had a Vit D test done along with my regular bloodwork. I’m wondering what can be done for a condition they call hypercalciuria? I didn’t even take a urine test and doesn’t this have to do with a urine sample rather than a blood sample, and what should I do to lower this? My number was 58 out of a range of 20-50.
Usually, during the winter months (I live where the sun barely ever shines in the winter) I take 10,000 IU of D3 and 1 K2 (150 mcg). Usually from about November to April I take that amount and then in April I lower it to 5,000 IU’s because we get much more sun and I try to be outside a lot. Any suggestions?
I wish you success with this case, 2years ago, my GP offered to prescribe a statin as he judged my cholesterol to be slightly high But. as I had spent some time delving into the subject, I could see there was no reason to take statins and declined his kind offer.
Kind regards
Rosemary Wellman
I’m so glad to know you are still in the land of the living, Dr Kendrick, and haven’t been renditioned to Guantanamo Bay to be brainwashed until you recant of your views.
Reading the judge’s very long preliminary ruling (156 paragraphs, 9575 words), it’s clear this is a very very complex case. This is one of the few paragraphs I understood:
“C. In particular, the Claimants respond to the Defendants’ defences of honest opinion and truth by contending that an evaluation of the relevant scientific evidence relating to cholesterol, CVD and statins, primarily in the form of published scientific studies, demonstrates that the science on these issues is not in fact cut and dried as appears from both the articles complained of in the Defence (and could not reasonably be considered to be cut and dried), and that all the published statements that the Claimants have made on these topics which are not the same as the ones that the Defendants have imputed to them in the publications they have made honestly and reasonably on an evidence-based basis… ”

All I can say is I wish you and Zoe the best of luck. May impartial science triumph!
I wish you and Ms. Harcombe all the best with this case. I hope it brings to light a lot of the lies that have been told about statins. I have permanent spinal myelin damage from 80mg of atorvastatin. I quit after 6 months on my own. If I had continued taking them like my dr. said I’d have to, I’m convinced I’d be dead now. Thank you both for all of your hard work!
Thoughts and prayers going your way . Let’s hope you both win .
I have no faith for n media or government or big pharma making money . . Good luck keep us posted . You are one of those who kept me sane all through covid .
I wish you both very well indeed.
I hope you get nothing less than a front page apology, repeated every day for a week.
Let’s hope science prevails and you two legends stop the industrial pharmaceutical complex conning the masses for their own ends, ie, massive money making. I don’t believe there’s an invisible man in the sky but I still thank god for truly GOOD people like you.
Very relieved to hear that all is well with you Dr. Kendrick! Icertainly hope the case will be in yours and Zoe’s favour, and that they get taken to the cleaners!
We advocate for you and Zoe. Best wishes for complete success in your legal challenges.
Dr K and Dr Z.
I am thinking of both of you during this stressful time.
I continue to support both of you. Having suffered crippling symptoms, I was driven to find out the cause of my deteriorating health issues 10 years ago. I came across articles by both of you and I remain convinced that statins were the cause of my distress. In the years since, I have had many discussions with medics consistently advising me to reconsider my stance against statins, but I will never, ever use them again.
I wish you well.
God bless you, Doc. Give em hell!
Wish you all the success with the case. I had just been to my fathers GP with him. He was suffering a whole pile of side effects, all of which were listed on the statin Insert papers.
His GP said “ah ignore them, I wish they didn’t print those product inserts and we could simply give you pills in plain brown bottles like we used to do….”
Thank you for letting us know you’re alright and telling us about this situation. I’m sure this must be incredibly stressful for you and your families. Thank you for all the work you do and for standing up for truth.
All the best to you and Zoe.
Thanks for the update. Good for you, I say! I’m looking forward to the outcome. Wishing you the best.
Great to hear from you again Malcolm, and I admire your guts in taking on this action. If you need help, support or just ‘a few bob’ in the kitty to continue this, I would be happy to help in any small way, as many supporters of your blog would be.
Let us hope that the proceedings will be fair and the Judges concerned will evaluate evidence openly and without bias. However, I suspect the lawyers of the Pharma companies are beavering away on all sorts of ways to ensure their masters aren’t inconvenienced by being shown to be less than honourable. I wish you and Zoe Harcombe (and thus all of us) the very best for this action.
Best of luck Malcolm. I really hope you win.
Good luck to you,I wouldn’t touch Stations with a barge pole after my experience with them.Thank you for speaking out against them on I’m with you all the way.
Dr. Kendrick,
My prayers are with you. I have been in medicine for 40 plus years. You have been so right. Remember the majority is always wrong. You may enjoy my website downtoearthmedicine.org

Count me as a supporter in whatever you do.

Wishing you both all strength and success in your campaign.
Malcolm,
I am delighted to find that you are alive and active! Needless to say, I was starting to fear the worst.
As one who suffered from Simvastatin and benefitted from your book that encouraged me to abandon statins for good (ten years ago), I’ll be extremely interested in your court case.
I went for a 14 mile bike ride into the Penniness today, and I very much doubt if I could have done that if I were still taking statins!
I shall be eagerly watching. Hoping that truth will triumph.
Bravo Dr. Kendrick!
Dr. Kendrick, I have been following you from the U.S. since the C19 issue began and somehow I found you and read your book on Cholesterol and Statins. If there is any justice left in this world, which I doubt most days, I sincerely pray that you prevail. What Big Pharma has been allowed to do to the public for years, on top of our health agencies is criminal. Sincerely, Ramona Fox Nashville, Tennessee

Having had to plead a case 10 years ago in the Royal Courts of Justice without using a lawyer, I’d say it’s quite a daunting experience, not least because of its impressive location. It’s crucial to thoroughly prepare every aspect of your case and research as to its correct format. Our case was not about defamation (though it could have been in part) but was to prevent a venal ex girlfriend of my son (severely brain-damaged after a cardiac arrest) from obtaining jurisdiction over him and his finances. We won our case and were congratulated by the judge on how assiduously we’d prepared it. Coincidentally, I’m currently trying to persuade his doctor to take him off statins, which she’s loathe to do on the grounds that his cardiac arrest signified problems with his heart!
Wishing you the best of luck with your case!

Well done, I wish you and Zoe a multimillion pound payday.
Litigation is incredibly time consuming, time you will never get back, considerable stress is suffered, not good for the ticker, and then the bills come in. Your foe has very deep pockets for the most slippery barristers. I would have advised you ignored it. I now advise you do a bit of research and see what they did to the great historian David Irving when he objected to being libelled.
Libel is a very contentious area of the law where there will be no jury. And remember you are not just up against the Mail On Sunday but big pharma with even bigger pockets to fund so called ‘expert’ evidence.
I am sorry not to be more supportive and encouraging, but forewarned is forearmed. I do not wish you luck, I wish you justice.
Why not set up a GoFundMe?
Thank you for the update. Will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
It may not matter much dr Kendrick, but you have all my support.

Dear Doctor
I wish you every success in your dispute.
I cannot begin to imagine the stress this kind of challenge must be causing. Thank you Malcolm and Zoe for standing up for good quality science, for good clinical practice, for the interests of poorly informed patients and for good old-fashioned common sense. My thoughts are with you.
Good luck with this. Are you crowdfunding your legal costs? please send us the link!
If there is any justice and no big Pharma payoffs you should win with ease. Anecdotal on thyroid uk and just from my front facing role I know many people are deleteriously affected and continue to be affected because such is the brain washing the medical profession has undergone even with presented with a patient with overt side effects they are unable to recognise and attribute the cause.
So many of our medical professionals are suffering from a case of terminal cognitive dissonance.
Glad you’re okay Doc. Hang in there, all power to you.
Good luck with that. The Mail Group is an absolute disgrace on so many fronts.
Yours
John.
I’m sure all of your readers will be with you and Zoe all the way! Take care fella.
Fervently wishing you good luck with the case, Malcolm. Ready to stand outside the court in support on the day if that would be welcome.
Good luck and best wishes.
I’m sure you don’t need it — but good luck Malcolm!
Brilliant!! I still have that article. Kept and folded within The Great Cholesterol Con book.
Good luck Malcolm and Zoe.
You are my two Favourite authors and have helped me navigate through the world of food and drugs and what is ‘really’ healthy and simply and brilliantly explained the logic behind some of the worlds biggest cons (statins, cholesterol, LDL/HDL, fat and calories!)
I wish you all the best and hope that justice wins.

The very best of luck with this case. Debate about matters medical is a necessary part of public interest, particularly now.
Truth will out. All the very best.
Dear Dr Kendrick,
My very best wishes in your endeavours.
I would be very interested in making a small donation to the cause. Could you please supply a link to enable me to do so?
Many thanks John Smith ________________________________
