Pseudoscience dangerous
All human progress is due to sound reasoning, honest debate, and
scientific inquiry - not fuzzy notions and superstitious
assertion. The sooner we get rid of this fake treatment, the
better off we will all be.
Scientists say homeopathy is undiluted hogwash. But it CAN work.
Just what is it that makes so many people so angry about
homeopathy? Ive been using it on and off for years arnica
tablets for when the kids fall over, a magic box of special
remedies which helped cure my hay-fever. Ive always thought it
was something harmless, something all of us did now and again.
Apparently not, though. In the past few months, whenever Ive
mentioned my guilty homeopathy secret to friends, its as if Ive
confessed to a penchant for child sacrifice.
Hyland�s Homeopathy Follow Up
The Nerve Tonic took away my neck tension and headache so subtly
that I didnt even have that ahhh moment of relief I get with
ibuprofen if you get headaches, you know what I am talking
about, but noticed later on in the day that it was gone. And it
has been gone since then, going on three days now. I am truly
amazed. Nothing I have tried has ever taken it away for longer
than the medication lasts.
Homeopaths declare war on doctors
Dziennik Gazeta Prawna reports that homeopathic medicine
producers have declared war on the Polish Chamber of Physicians
and Dentists, claiming that the Chamber has a monopoly on the
market. The Office of Competition and Consumer Protection has
taken up the issue after a conflict broke out when the Chamber
of Physicians and Dentists obliged doctors to stop recommending
pharmaceuticals that have not been fully tested such as
homeopathics.
Homeopathy: not as bad as genocide
Last week in the Spectator I wrote a piece which I knew was
going to get me into trouble. And indeed, to read some of the
reaction since, youd think Id been advocating military
intervention in support of Col Gaddafi or compulsory puppy
drowning classes at primary school. Actually though, all I was
doing was questioning the bizarre witch-hunt atmosphere that now
surrounds the subject of homeopathy.
Today's Historymaker: Dr. Susan Smith McKinney-Steward
Dr. Susan Smith McKinney-Steward was the first African-American
woman to become a doctor in New York State, and the third in the
United States. She treated both blacks and whites at her
practice in Bedford-Stuyvesant, and she helped found the Womens
Homeopathic Hospital and Dispensary in Clinton Hill in 1881.
Parents Want Drug Alternatives
Parents want alternatives to pharmaceutical drugs for their
childrens illnesses, two recent studies show. A Harvard Medical
School study found that nearly 9 million children used
complementary and alternative therapies Birdee et al 2010. A
second study showed that ninety percent of parents would like to
know more about alternative medical options for their children,
2010 survey conducted by Childrens Hospitals and Clinics of
Minnesota, a nationwide leader in integrative medicine.
James Delingpole, keeping an open mind on homeopathy
Who would have thought that James Delingpole and the Prince of
Wales might actually agree on something? No, relax, its not the
environment or organic food or the exorbitant price of Duchy of
Cornwall posh biscuits. But it is something rather shocking.
Mcolleague is, it seems, a fan of homeopathy or magic water as
we Big Pharma shills like to think of it.
Illegal homeopathic slimming aid
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory agency has
issued a warning to companies promoting or selling a product
containing a homeopathic dilution of hCG human chorionic
gonadotrophin as slimming aid.
Despite controversy, homeopathy endures
Homeopathy is a form of medical therapy that many people have
heard of but may not know much about. Although it is lumped in
with other "alternative" or complementary therapies, as if it
were a recent development, it has actually been in existence for
more than 200 years.
