Our tax money wasted on homeopathy provided by the NHS.

Well that makes me pretty sick.

I hope those providing this treatment drown some day! (what? accidental over-doses do happen you know)

ms51ves3: why does it need 500 miles? Are you teaching it how to be a piston?

I've got no problems with Homeopaths so long as they allow their teachings and methods to be subjected to rigourous scientific testing and examination.

If you're interested buy the book Bad Science by Ben Goldacre or read his blog here: https://www.badscience.net/

I highly recommend the "Found you new job" link (1st one at time of writing). Not strictly about homeopathy but it informs you about a pin badge that wards off headlice. Only ?19 plus p&p.

As a scientist, taxpayer and clinician, this makes me more angry than you can possibly imagine.

It is long past time someone took a homeopathic practitioner to court under the sale of goods act. Preferrably a crown court whose ruling sets legal prescedent. 1) Unfit for the purpose intended. It does nothing. No properly blinded clinical trials exist showing it is inay way effective. 2) Not of merchentable quality. There is not a single molecule of the claimed active ingredient in the remedy. 3) Not as described. Will not and cannot make you better.


Did you know it is ILLEGAL to practice homeopathy on an animal without first having consulted a registered veterinary surgeon?

I doubt much of the 20m went into homeopathy tbh.
As for the treatment itself, isnt it just another placebo? They get used all the time.

Now you've done it. The mushroom is going to be very angry when he reads this.

I tend to agree little healing can come from a drop of distilled water-NHS would have been better off spending 20 ml on hypnosis.

You cant pay people to have unconditional self respect and expect lasting results-the day you have to pay for the treatment of your disease maybe we will see a different attitude.

I've often thought about dabbling in this area, I thought it might be satisfying, but in the end I decided not to bother.

Don't get me wrong, people can sleep with who ever the please, it's just not to my taste.



PS: Homeopathy is a load of old crap, but the people who believe and swear by it, also pay taxes (or so the argument goes) which is why it is included amongst the panopoly of usual treatments. Also, from the NHS point of view, you get a fair few lefty ex-hippy types in decision making posts, even if they think homeopathy is rubbish; it's trendy to 'have it on board.'
