[H] Homeopathy in the News

Plausability Bias?

A homeopath disagrees and expressed his disagreement in an
article published last week online in Medicine, Health Care, and
Philosophy entitled Plausibility and evidence: the case of
homeopathy. You'll get an idea of what it is that affected us at
SBM like the proverbial matador waving his cape in front of a
bull by reading this brief passage from the abstract

Face-off: should the NHS fund homeopathic treatments?

Professor Edzard Ernst, who founded the School of Complementary
Medicine at the University of Exeter, has said recently that

Homeopathy and autism

I find it "disturbing" that he feels so free to publicly
disparage a fellow professional. I am a registered homeopath and
if I were as disparaging of his profession, the Irish Society of
Homeopaths would discipline me, as I would be in breach of its
Code of Ethics; I wonder if his governing body, the Irish
Association for Humanistic Integrative Psychotherapy, has
anything similar in its code of ethics?

Dangers of homeopathy lurk in false claims

We can safely say that homeopathic remedies pose no risk of side
effects or of toxicity. Just try calling a poison control centre
to say that you accidentally took too many homeopathic pills.
You'll get a response along the lines of "forget it," or "bogus
product." But does this mean that homeopathy presents no risks?
Not at all.

How the Law of Balance keeps us healthy

It is in the course of everyone wondering what these phenomena
are that cell salt health practitioners concluded that people
who fear the thunder are deficient in one of the 12 biochemical
salts, NATRUM MUR sodium chloride. This is not table salt but,
like all cell salts, triturated homeopathic varrants of it,
which makes it medicinal.

Website forced to remove whooping cough risk claims

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission considered
comments on the Homeopathy Plus! site, comparing the respiratory
infection vaccine with a proven and safe remedy, to be
misleading, deceptive and a potentially serious health risk.

New alternative medicine clamp

Tough new guidelines to regulate Bahrain's alternative medicine
industry will come into effect within weeks. It means only

medicine, among others, would be allowed to practice in the

executive officer Dr Baha Eldin Fateha.
